Description

"Somethin' tells me it's all happening at the zooI do believe itI do believe it's trueThe monkeys stand for honestyGiraffes are insincereAnd the elephants are kindly but they're dumbOrangutans are skepticalOf changes in their cagesAnd the zookeeper is very fond of rumZebras are reactionariesAntelopes are missionariesPigeons plot in secrecyAnd hamsters turn on frequentlyWhat a gas, you gotta come and seeAt the zoo"-Simon and Garfunkel, "At the Zoo", clearly written about contemporary board games01:39 AYURIS: -G.I.

A podcast about all manner of hobby games by Mike Walker and Mark Bigney. Bad games don't go easy on you, so we don't go easy on them. Thorough analysis via reviews, news, and discussion of topics in gaming. We take context seriously, we value your time, and we're not into hype. Just because games are fun doesn't mean we can't take them seriously, and just because we take them seriously doesn't mean we can't have fun.
