ScrumBrawl is a competitive board game designed for 2-4 players where fantastic creatures vie for supremacy within a 20x20 battle arena. Tim Bugher, one-half of VicTim Games, shares the origin story of the game (conceived as a space battle card game) as well as his reasons for getting unplugged on this episode.

One day as a joke, he Photoshopped a picture of his boss and emailed it to everyone at the small local ISP where he worked.
