TGG Podcast for 11/23/2010 – Elliott Visits ChiTag and is Our Hobby Peaking?

This time around Elliott visits the Chicago Toy and Game Fair and brings us the first batch of his interviews, with stops at Out of the Box Productions, Gozer Games, Buffalo Games, and talks with the developers of Telestrations and Triumphant. Jeff reviews Ninja vs Ninja from Out of the Box and then the duo turns their sights to the ongoing talk that the board gaming industry has hit its peak.

Sorry to say Jeff has been under the weather for the last week or more and this isn’t the usual format with James chiming in and more reviews!
