SHOW NOTES
Every once in awhile, Bubba sends something Kate’s way that she’s actually interested in. This week, it was a link to The Last Kingdom Board Game Kickstarter from Gamelyn Games. The Last Kingdom Netflix series is one of Kate’s favorite shows, so she was super pumped to see this even though tabletop games aren’t her area of expertise. That got them curious about other Netflix IPs that have been turned into tabletop experiences.
The Free Play Podcast is live on Twitch.tv/lovethynerd Fridays at 12p Eastern. Be sure to check us out while we are recording and be a part of creating the show in real-time! This is also the place to be if you are into bonus stories and extra content!
