Episode 24: The "other" expansion theory

Whose Turn Is It Anyway?

In JP's last run of episodes as first player he gets to chat about expansion theory, not the ever increasing debate about our expansion of the universe but the other main one which is expansions to base board games.
FIRST PLAYER: JP
OTHER PLAYERS: Tambo, Becky & Adrian
OVERVIEW
It's JP's last episode of his run before handing the first player token to Davey and it's time to talk about JP's reputation in buying expansions and exploring the various types and rationale behind them. In this episode you'll learn:
- Adrian's first impressions of Earth which is being delivered to backers very soon (if not already)
- How not to win at Endless Winter by JP
- Is Batman Talisman just like all other Talisman games?
- Becky just loves Clank Catacombs
- What are expansions, the various types and some examples along the way
- What some of our favourite expansions are out there
- That we're going to continuously switch up our listeners question segment to try some new ideas out
