Russell Brand visits the Travelling Man, a game shop in Leeds, and checks out some gems in the board gaming world.

Brand and shopkeeper Matt check out Elevenses (a card game about being a 1920s socialite), Pandemic (a mainstay in cooperative board games), and Pandemic: Reign of Cthulhu (which adds some Lovecraft flavor to the Pandemic formula).

It's cool to see Brand bring some attention to the beloved pastime, and probably give the Travelling Man a boost in sales to boot.
