The Gaming Gang Episode Eight: B&O, Thunderstone, Julius Caesar and Some of the Top Games of 2010

Happy New Year and, lo and behold, Elliott’s back! The boys take a look at Baltimore & Ohio from Eagle Games, Thunderstone from AEG and Julius Caesar from Columbia Games. Some of our listeners chime in with their favorite games while The Gamer on the Plains, James Engelhardt, runs down some of the most interesting games of the last year.

Elliott and Jeff add their own thoughts on games they really liked in 2010 while they reveal their picks for the best game of 2010 – or at least out of what they’ve played…

Detailed show notes to follow shortly… (mostly done, just need some links… and that should do it! Thanks for your patience, everyone!)
