Big Table is a late-night conversation between two Midwestern geeks
with dreams of world domination through board games. It's not a great
plan, but it's our plan and we're sticking to it. Join as we plot to put
a meeple in every pot- or at least on every table. We slipped the bonds
of our robot masters, so the only opinions represented here are our
own. We are however in league with Amazon,
so a percentage of every purchase made through our links goes into our
onshore accounts (thanks!). Some games have been provided by publishers
for review while we picked up others for a buck or two at a thrift store
or yard sale. Others are from our own collections or games we played
with friends and strangers. You should be proud of yourself for reading
all this small print- we are!
