Virtual gaming, is it done out of necessity or convenience? In this boardgame episode Dalton and Nelson dive into the computer world and talk about different virtual implementations of boardgames! We discuss our favorite, and least favorite, implementations, what we are looking for, and why we enjoy virtual gaming!

What's on our Flight (01:18)
Dalton is drinking: Double Dunkel from Wibby Brewing. A deliciously malty lager from a brewery that specializes in lagers. 4 cheers!
