Show Notes

According to experts, all eight (YES, EIGHT) planets are likely to line up within 1 degree every 13.4 trillion years. Given that our solar system only formed around 4.6 billion years ago, this has probably never happened. Given that our sun has about another 5 billion years of life left in it, it'll also probably never happen. 

Similarly, the perfect game night has roughly the same odds. So, let's all close our eyes and imagine what it would be like if everything in your life aligned, and you were finally able to get that game to the table, with the people you've always wanted to play it with, and your own little spacetime-bending bubble to play it in. (It's OK if you tear up just a little at the thought.)

We also talk about the games we've been playing lately in much more cosmically mundane times. Enjoy the show!
