This week we look at replayability in games and how important is it really? What games are more prone to replay and which are not. Are those that aren’t replayable worse games? Probably not. Oh, and we had a ton of input on this one, thank you to everyone and if you want to give us input on our episodes, it’s easy, just go to http://TabletopGameTalk.com/bgg.

We love your feedback, and we have lots of it this week. Much of it is on Managing Your Collection. But we have a fair bit on Cheating and Complicated games as well. And we even start out with a couple on Alpha Players. Oh, and like all our feedback episodes, two people won $50 gift cards!
