This week we’ll return to History of Fun’s deep dive on how one of the most popular games of our childhood was developed. Listen to all the episodes of The History of Fun on Apple or Pocketcasts.

    Everyone is sick as heck, so Chelsea was joined by Jenna and Polygon’s Emily Heller. Emily talked about the very good dog who is also a decorated war hero in Wargroove.
