Major Spoilers Poll of the Week
Stranded Edition
Rodrigo and I had an interesting discussion the other night following a massively long recording of Muchkin Land – a fan podcast that celebrates the card game Munchkin from Steve Jackson Games. I know i didn’t need to explain the podcast to you, because you already listen to it faithfully as one of the Major Spoilerites. Regardless, the topic of being stuck in a boat in the middle of the ocean or stranded on an island worked its way into the conversation and Rodrigo raised an interesting question.

Discussion:
Rust Volume 1
Rust is a high-octane adventure set in the prairie lands of an unknown time. Life on the Taylor family farm was difficult enough before Jet Jones crashes into the barn, chased by a giant decommissioned war robot! Oldest son Roman Taylor struggles to keep his family’s small farm afloat as the area heals from a devastating world war. While the rest of his family may not trust the mysterious boy with the jetpack, Roman believes the secrets of Jet’s past may be the key to their survival.
