Welcome to a special Dads on a Map: Game Over session discussing the 2012 war game Andean Abyss, hosted by the COIN Collectors, the war gaming channel of the Dads on a Map discord. This session saw COIN Collectors Phil, Tom, Tyler, and Mark struggling for dominance of Colombia in the 1990s. With a faltering government, both left and right wing insurgents guerillas, and the ever present narco-traffickers, this game kept us on our toes for every minute of the action. If you like what you hear, come join us in the COIN Collectors channel in the DoaM discord. We would love to hear your opinion!
