This episode is brought to you by Grand Gamers Guild & PowerToTheMeeple.com. Our expectations were that 2021 would start with a bang, and boy were we right! Find out why the Brawling Brothers have been MIA at the turn of the year, then hang out to hear about some of the games we have been playing recently, including Flamme Rouge, Dune Imperium, Wingspan and more. We also offer up our Endangered Review, as well as relive the excitement of Joshs' most recent Axis and Allies campaign! Noel and Jordan join us to discuss the best (and worse) of 2020 and we collectively look ahead and make some predictions on 2021.
Technical Notes: We somehow managed to prove that 2020 lingers - a dead hard drive sends the end of our NOW segment and our entire TOMORROW segment into a tailspin, as a result we lost For Glory (Spielcraft Games) and Cult of the Deep (B.A. Games). Stay tuned for our recut of that content in Episode 141.

This episode is brought to you by PowerMeeps.com. Last year the Brawlers (our mixologists!) put together the finest blend of board games ever created. It was dubbed the Brawlers Blend 2019 and became the standard for user-curated board game lists, all while boasting after-notes of vanilla and brown-sugar. Enter 2020 - the year of the BEAST. We knew we had to do something big - something even bigger than previous, so we scoured the countryside for those most capable of creating a delicious blend that could supplant the amazingly delicious work that we had previously created. Enter Mix Master Baker and Data-Lord Noel. Charged with creating something truly unique - something refreshing yet breathtaking. Mix Master Baker and Data-Lord Noel worked day and night to gather the information needed to create such a unprecedented experience, and we are here today to present the finest yet - The Brawlers Blend 2020! Join us in episode 132 to discover all of the Brawlers very favorite boardgames!
