Episode 6: The fan made expansions!

Welcome back to Full Tuck: The Wingspan Podcast! This week we focus on the new fan made mini expansions which are going to be released in mid-October. These came as a complete surprise to us so we decided to give them a proper look with a bumper episode!


As always we also discuss our opening hand, and our friend's predeliction to one particularly friendly water bird.






We are aware that UK users can no longer use Imgur, so we are switching our means of accessing the weekly opening hand challenge. We will move pictures for all previous episodes to Google Drive too
