Episode 16, where we fend off hordes of alien bugs in XenoShyft: Dreadmire, the new cooperative deck-building game from Michael Shinall & Cool Mini Or Not, and stand-alone expansion to 2015's XenoShyft: Onslaught. Does it stand steadfast, or will the horde of nit-picking review-creatures leave nothing but rubble in their wake? We also had the chance to continue playing some more Watson & Holmes scenarios, carrying off from our previous episode, and share our experiences with some 2- and 3-star scenarios. Don't worry, there are no spoilers! Does the increased difficulty enhance the game? There seems to be a lot of TV and movie watching lately. Spoiler-free thoughts on the recent season of Sherlock, the new Wonder Woman film, Snowpiercer.. For those interested in watching some board game-like television (seriously), we highly recommend checking out two Korean shows: The Genius & Crime Scene.
