Description

In Episode 102 we provide our hot take review of Rising Sun covering the mechanisms, the production, and our overall feelings of the game.  We also look at all three games from Eric Lang's 'Troops on a Map' trilogy: Blood Rage, Rising Sun, and Ankh: Gods of Egypt and discuss our rankings of them.
We discuss a poll about other whether it's acceptable to concede a game and then we discuss some games on our table including WW84 and Agricola.
