<![CDATA[Let's Quest]]>Hello humans! Welcome to the Let's Quest podcast! Where we dive deep into the wonderful world of board games, new and old. Every episode, I'll be sitting down with a fellow gamer to explore this awesome hobby of ours!

We'll be chatting about what we've been playing lately – our wins, losses, and our post-game thoughts. After that we'll dig into a 'topic of the week', and then we'll finish off by opening The Game Master's Mailbag. That's where my guest and I help you out there find your perfect game!

So.. grab a drink, take your seat and Let's Quest!

In this episode Jamieson, aka 'The Gamer' of my board game group sits down to chat with me all about immersion in board games. How can these games of cardboard, wood and plastic transport us to fantastical worlds and sci fi scenarios? And what are some of our favourites?
