Episode 126: The 2012 Video Game Draft

A Winner Is You ·

2025/12/16

It's the final draft of 2025, so we decided to introduce some new rules - each player gets one kill and one steal each. Any game can be stolen, and any game can be killed (stolen ones are subsequently untouchable). How will these new rules affect the game? Will David finally lose? Will KDB finally win? The result is a good podcast, whatever happens! Say hi @winnerisyoupod on Twitter or BlueSky and we'll see you next time for our Christmas special!

Episode 124: The 1995 Video Game Draft

A Winner Is You ·

2025/11/15

We're going way further back in time for this draft as part of a new yearly bonus episode where we draft from 30 years ago. 1995 is first (1996 next year, obvs) and, by god, getting reliable scores for these games is a reet ballache. So, apologies for the messy caluclations, but there's still plenty to enjoy as KDB joins us for drafting fun once again - who can get the best total score for their 10 games from '95?
