Sun, 26 August 2007 This month, John and Dan begin a new year of shows giving the Rattlehead Games Rules Review of Anima: Tactics as well as the game's associated line of miniatures. The show also contains a review of Historicon and a year-end review of the podcast, the future of the podcast and John and Dan's favorite games in each genre. Unfortunately Episode 13 is somewhat unlucky, however, as the number 13 jinx corrupted the mail call segment; so, this episode has no mail call.
