Gabe rolls the dice with actress/gamer Felicia Day (creator/star "The Guild," founder "Geek & Sundry") to discuss the "roles" of gaming and what makes it a valuable use of time, looking not just at how we play, but why we must. From cards to joystick controllers and back again, we see how games and society interact with each other and what spurred the current renaissance of tabletop board games.
