EP3: From Punch to Play

We've all been there right, the game has been ordered, we're all excited and we start punching it all out on the table.  At some point this all needs organising and we're going to have to teach this game to real people who are now relying on you for a good evening of entertainment.  In this episode JP talks about his approach from acquisition to post game analysis.

IN THIS EPISODE
- In the "Just Played" segment JP gets his cardbox box and becomes Solid Snake in the board game adaptation of Metal Gear Solid by CMON Games and becomes Paul Atreides in Dune: War for Arrakis in the epic 1v1 or 2v2 battle.
- At the "Centre of the table" JP talks about his process on preparing for game nights which starts when the game arrives at the front door (providing it's not his wife's Amazon delivery instead)
- We take a look at the the top 5 trending games in "What's Hot, What's Not" including Wonderous Creatures, Medico, Concordia, World Order & Excalibur
