Description
The Innkeeper's Table is part of The Dice Tower Network. It's a show about board games meant to appeal to gamers while still being accessible to people who don't know a lot about the subject. Each week, hosts Bill and Dylan, two long-time friends who both love board games, will focus on a specific board game-related topic, from game mechanics to deep dives on specific games to explaining what some of the jargon board game enthusiasts use even means.
