On this episode of Hidden Gems, join your hosts Chris Alley, Cameron Lockey, and Jason Yanchuleff as they dig into four classic re-releases from Play For Keeps Games — Reel Rivals (a re-implementation of El Caballero), Gheos, Mexica, and Bridges of Shangri La. Fair warning: these are all take-that games with a mean streak, so expect a few friendships to be tested along the way.
