AVoCADo GamesCast #117: The Capital of Antarctica

In this episode, The Kappa and I discuss what we did over the winter season. The Kappa and his family got really into D&D, while I jumped around in Big Hops. We also review our 2025 predictions and make predictions for 2026. Then, we discuss the games we’re anticipating in 2026. Finally, we predict which games slated for 2026 are going to get delayed. (h/t to Andy Tuttle for the now-annual tradition.)
