Top Games of 2022 (sort of?) with Mitchell, Jeremy, and Doooogah

BJ welcomes back to the Gumbo Pot a great krewe. We enlisted Mitchell from the Beans & Dice Podcast, Jeremy from the Louisiana Board Gamers Facebook Group, and the inimitable Dave Doooooogahhhh, the commissioner for life of the Board Boys Legacy League to chat about the top games of 2022. In typical Gumbo Pot fashion, things went off the rails pretty quickly as the gents had a little trouble with the calendar and the number "one". But we settled on some pretty decent choices, including:  • Marrakesh • Atiwa • Ark Nova • Merchants of the Dark Road • Star Wars the Deckbuilding Game • Massive Darkness 2ed • Tiletum • Challengers We leave it up to you if there were any cheating going on' in the years chosen.
