Listen "346: Game of the Year 2022"

Episode Synopsis


It’s been a great year, and we played some great games. It’s our Game of the Year special for 2022! 



In addition to our Game of the Year, we’re handing out lots of honors and superlatives, some returning like our coveted Dirtbag of the Year award, and some new that you’ll need to listen to discover!



Patrons also have access to our unedited planning session, if you want to hear how the sausage was made for some reason.



Happy New Year!







The Short Game is supported directly by our listeners on Patreon! Supporters at any level get access to our Discord, where we discuss games, plan episodes, and talk about what we are playing in real time. You can also support us by writing a review on Apple Podcasts!
