Our hobby is full of great games which lets face it sometimes don't see the light of day, either they're not promoted as well as others, they release and disappear or just sometimes gaming groups don't get the opportunity.  We're here to shine a light on some of our "unpunched gems" and talk about some of these games.

FIRST PLAYER: JP
OTHER PLAYERS: Adrian, Dan & Davey

In this episode you'll learn:
- more about the latest expansion for Dune Imperium: Bloodlines by Dire Wolf
- the conclusion to Adrian's cliffhanger...sort of...as he's now played Harry Potter: Catch the Snitch by Knight Games
- that JP has been experimenting (literally) in the latest expansion of Nucleum: Energy Research Institute
- about Dan's board gaming renaissance with Agricola and why he's sticking with the older version and not the remaster
- all about our groups unpunched gems, games which have flown under the radar within our grown or generally in the hobby.  Let us know what your unpunched gems are
