Welcome to the Omnigamers' Club, a book club style podcast for those whose love of games eclipses the divide between analog and digital. Alternating between board games, video games and everything in between, each episode will take a deep dive into one specific game, our thoughts and the conversation around it. For our debut episode we’re excavating the board game 'The Lost Ruins of Arnak.' Does researching these temples reveal hidden depth or is in it an artefact best left in a museum? omnigamers-001-arnak.mp3
