    Hello All! Welcome to my new exciting show, Around the Board! Each episode will have 4 contestants. The contestants will play in 2 rounds. Each round will have a specific topic that they will discuss for 10 minutes. I can, as the host, award/remove points or mute players. If a player is muted they cannot participate and another player gets a chance to discuss the topic. The contestant at the end with the most points gets to talk about anything they want for 2 minutes. (If you watched around the horn it is like that). Big thank you to Rhett, Jack, Dan, and Scott for doing this first episode with me. This is not an XwingTMG only show. I have episodes planned with other games in mind (digital, tabletop, board, and etc). So if you have a topic or want to be on the show please reach out to me.
