Podcast Episode 51: Best (and Worst) of 2018

I arbitrarily set a deadline for declaring the best games of 2018, and now is that time. I haven’t played all of the games from last year that I wanted to, but I did play a good number, and these are my favorites. It’s kind of a weird list! I think I was a bit anti-popular opinion this year, so if you want some eclectic choices, here you go. As usual, Matt and Orion join in with their comments and mockery. Don’t look at the timestamps if you want to avoid SPOILERS.
