Feels like itās just going to be one duel after another and thatās it?
Itās somewhat strategic in whether you pass or play for more territory. You can hoodwink someone into taking you on and youāre good at their topic as well.

I throughly enjoyed this. Such a great and easy to follow show. Rodger is better suited to this type of show.
As opposed to what other types of shows?
Iāve only seen him on drama shows like Doctor Doctor.
