2019 is drawing to a close. Where did this year go!? It just flew by! On this week’s Bounty Board, the crew sits down to discuss the most notable games of the year in preparation for their own Game of the Year Awards. There are a lot of games to talk about, so this episode is a long one!

On this yearly adventure the normal crew is joined by the one, the only, Sawft-Clothez Sommelier: Big Bobby Pease (@Bobbypease).
