Episode 19: Of Spice & Men - OUT NOW!

Dune Imperium vs Lost Ruins of Arnak

In today's episode, we tackle some treacherous terrain with two games that skillfully combine deck building and worker placement. We'll start our journey by daring the dry desert, sidestepping sandworms and scraping out Solari in Dune Imperium. Then, it's an archaeological island adventure, digging in the dirt and trampling through temples as we expertly explore the Lost Ruins of Arnak.

And finally, because we just can't hep ourselves, we'll have a deck measuring contest as we face them off against each other in our ultimate showdown: Battle of the Funnest

Which one do you think wins?
