Our newest player Dan takes the first player token and pitches two main genres of games head to head, mano a mano, a death match to ultimately decide which one is better...i mean it's all subjective but listen anyway.
FIRST PLAYER: Dan
OTHER PLAYERS: Chris P, Rob & Tambo
OVERVIEW

- Chris P is digging getting back into Descent Legends of the Dark
