Chapter Summaries:

(0:01:00) - Absolute Zero (12 Minutes) The panel discusses Sentinels of the Multiverse, a cooperative super-hero-themed game that has no deck building and straightforward rules - do what the card says and you're good to go! We talk about games that have similar mechanics and how John, our resident board game historian, probably isn't a fan because of the lack of dice and because he doesn't like hand management.

(0:12:56) - Legacy (8 Minutes) We discuss the challenge of taking down the Villain, and its interesting interaction with the Environment deck. We take a minute to discuss the characters that each of us had chosen to play. We then explore the rules of the game, which, although simple, are spread out and confusingly written. Despite the complexity of the villain, we agree that it was an enjoyable game and we celebrate our victory with a cheer.

(0:28:14) - Benchmark (18 Minutes) We explore how our team managed to come together and take down the villain, Spite. Despite a difficult situation, we were able to pull off a win with only 7 health points remaining between us. We reflect on the cooperative games we have each played, the unique characters of the game, and the art style.
