    It's been two years since the last episode of The Married With Board Games Podcast and Spencer and Lara have a lot to talk about! We discuss some games we've played over the last 2 years including Heaven and Ale, Root, Crusaders, Mystic Vale, Cosmic Encounter Duel, and Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion. Lara resurrects her Game Night Grub segment with a tasty recipe (https://www.delish.com/cooking/recipe-ideas/recipes/a51134/soft-pretzel-bites-recipe/) Finally, we end the show discussing the Deckscape escape room system and compare the other available systems.
