SCIENCE!

It's certainly closer to our areas of expertise than sports. In fact, Mike (a science teacher) says a lot of impressive-sounding science words when discussing various games, which some of you may understand. In addition:

  • Smog plumes!
  • Didja ever notice that most "evolution" boardgames are actually "intelligent design" boardgames?
  • The most terrifying game board - oh, I'm sorry, "math map" - ever.
  • Frank says, "It's a decent game for people who like that crap."
  • Best score track ever?

Thanks as always for listening! If you have a few extra minutes and are willing to help us with our scientific research, we're trying to study the effects of an iTunes review on our number of listeners. Please leave one if you can!

We'd also love to have you visit our website and let us know what kinds of games we should discuss next. You're also more than welcome to comment on the episode page, or our Facebook page, or tag @ascentofgames on Twitter (for as long as Twitter still exists). Whatever way you prefer to share your opinions with us, we'd love to hear them. As always, we appreciate your listening - stay safe out there!
