Remember way back in Episode 33, when we talked about two-player games but excluded fighting and war games because there were too many? Now is when we finally talk about the fighty ones! Join us as:

• Brian's tongue stops working.
• We talk about chess - good chess channels on YouTube, weird chess games on forums, and absolutely bonkers chess games on the computer.
• We look back at an early first-person shooter - in book form.
• We haggle about the intricacies of the Avalon Hill game complexity scale.
• And we generally correct each other, talk smack, and otherwise have fun.

As always, thank you for listening. If you have the time to give us an iTunes review, please do - it really helps us grow!
