2:23:30

When three friends find themselves trapped inside the fictional world of the card game Dominion , they’ll have to play the game in order to escape. And that means–you guessed it–cranking out as much money as they possibly can and buying all the land they can get their grubby little hands on! Luckily, none of the people in the fictional world are real (or so they tell themselves), which means there’s no exploitative depths to which our…heroes…?…won’t sink if it means taking home the most Victory Points. Can they escape the game, or will they have to discard their futures to the trash? Listen to find out!…

(NOTE: Actual gameplay begins at 22 minutes 30 seconds) The Poppleton Mall is a friendly place, where each welcoming storefront promises commerce and community.
