13 april 2023 · 52 min

We delve into the ways that games can engage us and create lasting experiences through stories. Before we spin a yarn, we talk about Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and Artisans of Splendent Vale.

#270: You May Feel a Little Discomfort
30 maart 2023 · 49 min
Board games are great! Mostly. But as great as they are, we've probably all had a moment where, through no fault of the game itself, things got uncomfortable. Whether it's because of an awkward play, or just particulars of the group dynamic, we look back at some of our most uncomfortable moments. Before we enter the discomfort zone, we talk about Dog Tag Trick, Deal with the Devil, and Yokai Septet. Lees meer

#252: Digital Killed the Tabletop Star
17 november 2022 · 54 min
We all saw this coming. The inevitable digital future has come, and suddenly Mark is a book store owner who just discovered Kindles. It'd be sad if it weren't so inevitable.

#251: Tabling the Teach
10 november 2022 · 35 min
Look, I wasn't there, but my understanding is that Kellen got very mad about certain board game words and decided to change the course of the episode midstream. Which, you know, would be one thing, but I once had to hear about how mad Kellen was about the word "apricot", so it's just like every day with this guy. Before we get etymological, we talk about Splendor Duel, and Seize the Bean. Lees meer

#248: The Need for Theme
20 oktober 2022 · 51 min
The topic of theme has come up intermittently over the course of the podcast, but how important is it? Is it something that makes or breaks a game?

#233: A Decade of Missed Games: 2010-2019
7 juli 2022 · 1 uur 5 min
Well, we can't play everything, and that was probably more true ten years ago than it is now.

#231: Why Fight When You Can Negotiate?
23 juni 2022 · 55 min
Yes, you could make the argument that every game is a negotiation game if you try hard enough, but for a lot of games it's more integral to the design. We look at games that we think integrate negotiation mechanics especially well, and ask how much is too much (or too little) when it comes to negotiation. Before we compromise, we talk about Septima, and Kremlin. Lees meer

#230: Worth the Weight
16 juni 2022 · 58 min
While we tend to enjoy games across the whole spectrum, there's something particular about sinking your teeth into a really heavy game. But it's not always an easy prospect; conditions have to be just right. So what makes a heavy game worth it?

#229: The Positives of Being Negative
9 juni 2022 · 1 uur 4 min
There's a lot of discourse lately about the pros and cons of negative board game coverage, and so of course we thought we ought to weigh in. Is there value in negative criticism versus positive, or should there be a balance between the two? Before we take the good with the bad, we talk about Homeworlds, Ave Caesar, and Founders of Teotihuacan. Lees meer

#228: Bob Is Beautiful
2 juni 2022 · 1 uur 22 min

There can be beauty in games, and we're here to get to the heart of it the only way we know, the one on one fight to the death that we call BGBBOB.

#227: Board Games: The Sequel: Part II: Electric Boogaloo
26 mei 2022 · 57 min
It doesn't happen as much as it does in other industries, but every so often the people at the top demand serialization. We're talking about sequels in board games, when they work, when they (super) don't, and what we'd like to see get the treatment. Before we get franchised, we talk about Next Station: London, Dawn of the Zeds (Third Edition), and Azul: Queen's Garden. Lees meer

#226: Metapod
19 mei 2022 · 1 uur 6 min
Metagaming is all about the game that exists within (and without) the game - it's everything that's not written in the rules. Whether that's something that emerges at your table, or in the community at large, it can be a big part of the social experience, and we're all for it. Before we get meta, we talk about Rum & Pirates, Box One, Shamans, and Crescent Moon. Lees meer
