Episode 95 :: Underwater Cities Review

Recorded in War Room Studios - Albuquerque, NM : 1/29/19

This episode is brought to you by PowerMeeps.com and Van Ryder Games. Underwater Cities was one of the biggest surprises to launch at Essen 2018 (US version to be distributed by Rio Grande Games in Q1 2019). Many have likened it to Terraforming Mars, one of the Brawling Brothers very favorite games, so we couldn't wait to get this to the table and find out what all the fuss was about! Tune in to Episode 95 to find out what Josh and Brandon think about Underwater Cities from Vladimir Suchy and Delicious Games in our Deep Dive Underwater Cities Review!
