New Backtalk Question!
Anitra mentioned playing Sagrada after being at the Sagrada Familia. Have you ever played a game at a location it’s based on? Or has a trip ever motivated you to play a certain game?
We know that we have to go visit the Greek town of Santorini because of how much Asher likes the game.
