If Ed Sheeran were ever to listen to an episode, this is the one. He'd learn all about loving the shape of games (although only a few dexterity games push and pull via magnets). Unrelated, if somebody could get me a bottle of Ed Sheeran's flesh-colored promotional Heinz bottle I would absolutely adore that. No, I won't let the ketchup inside of it rot in the shrine. I'll make sure to consume it all, clean out the bottle, and only then place it in the shrine. Duh.

We give the hall of fame three BOOMs all day and a double chocolate cookie. If you're a Blood on the Clocktower fan or a member of the secret society of Knizias, please skip this episode. Speaking of Knizia, did you know they made a tv show based on him where he solves medical mysteries?

Tuck, meld, then splay. Repeat but return the card, then draw and score to the waiting area and do so additional times for every clientele.

Enough is enough. You've been the Donnie Thornberry of far too many game nights. It's time to wipe up that drool and extract those d20s from your nostrils. Today is the day you become a true gamer. (Forward this episode to 10 newbs or you will have bad luck all week.)

Dust... dust everywhere as far as the eye can see. The only sign of life: a few candy-colored camels and some chain-smoking elderly throwing down in a Microsoft classic. Desperate for a drink of board games, you make your way down to the infamous bunker. The Pantry... that's what the elders called it after you threw them a few fish for pay. But what is it and how does one harness its power?

The Sphinx eyes you with a cunning smirk, "If you are so wise human, then answer me this: what has four rules in morning, twelve thousand rules in the afternoon, and three rules at night?" Without a moments hesitation you respond: "A board gamer! A board gamer starts on Catan, devolves into madness with Lacerta, and becomes grounded once more in Knizia!" The Sphinx affirms that you have the correct answer but doesn't appreciate your gatekeepy tone. They gobble you up in a single bite.

New game idea, shake the hands of as many former presidents as possible while being completely nude. Standard handshake is 1 vp. Fist bump is 2vp. Partially nude does NOT receive any partial points. You might be thinking, "this is a bad idea," to which I would respond, "have you tried it?" And you would respond "yes, and it didn't end well," to which I would respond, "but have you tried it more than once?"

Imagine just being absolute trash. Like get good. I was playing blindfolded and my little brother was holding the controller and there was glare on my screen and I wasn't sitting in my gaming chair and I was using a Wiimote that didn't even have the nunchuck instead of my state of the art Logitech mouse.

We're tired... so tired. Tired of eating all these meeples. They all taste the same, sawdusty and hard. Give us something to crunch on with a little kick. Maybe put some gochujang sauce on there or a little truffle oil. In the meantime, we'll go back to swallowing a granola of Everdell berries and Azul tiles.

Sometimes I rub the cardboard tokens of my new games against the cement on my street to make them look like they've been played to death. They just end up looking like they got run over by a cheese grater, but hey, what matters is the satisfaction of saying I'm just better than anyone else that buys new games and plays them right out of the box. Turns out you can also just buy used games. Although, oftentimes they will still come with components that look pristine. In the unfortunate circumstances where my used games come too new, at least I'll be rubbing tokens on the cement for a fraction of the cost.
