This week join Jules, Adrian and Conor as they chat about what they've been getting played. Jules has been watching sumos slam in Slambo. Conor has been scaling colossi in Leviathan Wilds. Adrian shares the tale of losing at Riftbound to a literal child - because nothing says humble like being demolished by someone who still needs to be put to bed at night!
This plus our Question of the Pod recap and finally ending with what has us fired up!
