This week, Anthony and Chris look at six games you might like if you also like Coimbra. Before kicking things off, though, we read answers to the question of the week from the listeners: What games do you pull out for big family gatherings like Thanksgiving? For our acquisition disorders, Anthony looks at Reavers of Midgard, the sequel to Champions of Midgard from Greyfox Games, and Chris looks at Glory: A Game of Knights, a recently highlighted game at Essen. At the table, Anthony reviews Orbis and Rise of Queensdale, while Chris looks at Mystic Vale: Twilight Garden and Mystic Vale: Conclave.
