Episode 79: New Host, Essen Tips + Games We've Recently Played with Nikki

Update: Hey everybody, Aldie here. I just wanted to let everyone know that Candice is moving on from BGG and we wish her the best in whatever endeavor she chooses to undertake in the future.

Candice is responsible for bringing the BGG Podcast back to life after being defunct for ~20 years. She is one of the most talented game explainers I've ever met - and I really appreciate the passion she brought to the podcast.
