Craig and Dave are back with The Bit Effect — a monthly gaming podcast where we take on newer releases with plenty of banter and a good dose of pub-style chat. We dive into mechanics, share our thoughts, and keep things mostly spoiler-free (and always flagged if not). Think of it as catching up with your pals about what’s worth playing right now. Any game suggestions or feedback? Email us at hello@thebiteffect.com and we will glady play what you tell us, unless it's Stellaris.
