Join Andy and James as they play an unfinishable board game to completion, or die trying.From the first 14 episodes figuring out how to play, followed by their near 100-episode practice run of 6 Turns, the guys are eyeing up the full 111-Turn game that will take them maybe the rest of their mortal lives. With weekly doses of game recap, listener mail, Andy's History Corner and tangent-friendly "Common Ground" segments, this playthrough is only achievable for the Subtle, Humble and Brave.SPI's The Campaign For North Africa is a comically complicated board game that feels like a practical joke.
