33:05 Tiny Towns how to play and review
58:22 Final thoughts and review score
Tiny Towns is one of my favorite new games of the year. The game is easily taught in around five minutes and each playthrough zips along, regardless of the number of players. The components are top notch and the rule book is a snap to understand. I especially like the fact that there are a variety of variants to add wrinkles to play. You can also approach Tiny Towns as seriously as you'd care to. I certainly recommend the game as it's makes an especially good gateway to introducing the hobby to non-gamers.
