Unboxing Warriors & Traders

Bringing games out from Europe is not a small task, specially if you are a small company. However that didn’t stop Andrei and Agnieska, who decided to quit their day jobs and start their company NSKN Legendary Games.

The G*M*S Magazine Podcast Boardgame Edition–Chris Badell and Richard Launius

This is a special episode. It’s special because, for the first time ever, we have a guest for the second time. This has happened in the RPG podcast, but not in the boardgame one.

But first things first. Mark, Lorien and myself give you some quick reviews of some games, Start Trek, Cave Evil and others get a mention after we’ve been playing them, and if you needed to know if you want these games or not, you might be interested in what we have to say.
