Vindication | Deep Dive Review!

Hello! We're Bad at Board Games and, as we've learned, not quite yet vindicated. Join us, Brad and Toph, the wretched, at the table as we talk a loooooonnngg time about Vindication, a 2018 game designed by Marc Neidlinger and published by Orange Nebula. We give our thoughts, the many pros and cons we've identified as we've played this game together and with our gaming group, and our weight rating and value rating. We hope you'll enjoy our pros and cons, but we won't be sad if you skip to the weight rating and value rating closer to the end. Hope you enjoy our thoughts on this game. As always, we enjoy talking with you about them.
