Today is Two Wood for a Wheat's final episode of regularly scheduled programming and we go out with a critical flourish. We review and offer first impressions on eight hot games before diving deep into our understanding of the state of the hobby, and our continued stake in it as shaped by our time as gamers and our time on the podcast. Thank you for listening with us for all these years. We hope to be back with more reviews whenever our passions can't keep us away from the microphone.
