In this episode I attempt to teach the Phil Eklund masterpiece, Pax Renaissance. I’ve got a cold so of course I decided to use my cough syrup haze to try and tackle one of the most dense games I’ve ever played! I start with an overview, go into the detailed teach, then read some colorful reviews from BGG.

In this episode I discuss and teach the wonderful economic strategy game, Pipeline. This could be my current favorite game, and if not, it’s close to the top. I also take some time at the end of the podcast to read a few entertaining reviews from people that didn’t like the game quite as much as I did.

Every episode I teach you a medium to heavy weight board game. I also go over some FAQs, give my thoughts on the game, and read some choice one-star reviews from boardGameGeek. While not intended to replace the manual, it's my hope that I'll be able to help you learn somewhat complex games a little easier!
