Corps of Discovery - Review | 057 | CulBlu and Cardboard

Description provided by CulBlu Vlogs on YouTube:

My review of Corps of Discovery. Additionally, I provide commentary on "Manifest Destiny" (historical concept) as the boardgame's theme, and the implications of that. Does the effective work of the comic book that the game gets it's theme from ease some of the difficulties of such a theme?
