About This Podcast
Join Andy and James as they finish an unfinishable board game and whine about it.
SPI’s The Campaign For North Africa is a comically complicated board game that feels like a practical joke. It was published in 1978, and to this day it remains unfinished. For some reason (perhaps masochism), Andy and James will be playing the 1,500 hour board game to completion - no matter the toll on their minds
