It's been a while! Join Jamie and Ricky as we catch up on some recent plays, acquisitions and culls before discussing the importance of the teach. What makes a good teacher? What makes a bad teacher? How should you approach teaching games? Should you even be teaching games?

Then, in our Wildcard Segment, we open up about our teaching distasters.

Strap in for a double-feature extravaganza as Jamie and Ricky discuss our top 25 games!

Why are we doing this so early? Well, because of our shared minimalist approach to collecting games, these are some of the titles that have truly earned their place. Hopefully it gives you a better sense of who we are as gamers, and what we look for in the games we keep.
