Description provided by Room and Board on YouTube:

Sorry about the weird focus on this video sometimes - it was a long day and my monitor died so I couldn't check how the framing was. But at least the discussion is interesting! Awaken Realms has put out another banger. But there are some key differences. Zach and Chris talk about their first impressions from their play through, and why both are great games.
