## Resource

The Sweet Spot: Six Players What's the ideal player count for a board game? This week on Board Gamers Anonymous, Chris and Tim dive into one of gaming's most debated topics: games that are at their absolute best with six players. From epic table experiences to hidden gems that shine with a full group, we discuss what makes six the magic number and highlight some of our favorite titles that hit that sweet spot. In our Roll for Preview segment, Tim takes a look at War of the Dragon: The Wheel of Time, while Chris previews Antifascist Tooth Fairy, Game Changer: Home Edition, and The Official Cyberpunk Trading Card Game. Then, in Roll for Review, Chris shares his thoughts on Canvas Critters, and Tim reviews Pixies. Join us for another week of board game news, previews, reviews, and discussion from around the tabletop.
