Saved By The Bell
01/04/2017 Duration: 01h11minJust making it under the bell ringing the end of March for this month's podcast! Yaaayyy for waiting til last minute /sigh. This episode Maggi and Jason talk about teaching games. What we do to prep if we know it's a new game we plan on teaching, our general take on teaching games for different situations, and how we handle certain situations that arise. Of course, a ChitChat podcast would not be complete if we also didn't venture off topic to talk about Pokemon Duel, Primus, Kickstarter, and other random ramblings that pop into our heads.
