#240: The Pillars of Recreation

The pillars of board gaming are games that are so influential, so ubiquitous, that they're practically the shoulders on which many other board games stand.

Before we get into Greek architecture, we talk about Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon, Trailblazers, Photograph, and Ys.
