  • Has anyone heard Bad Bunny's lesser known cousin, Not For Me Bunny? They play Killer Bunnies at the Hooters Ranch with all the Hooters Bunnies err... Owls. God, the idea of playing Tentacle Bento with Tom in a Hooters continues to send shivers down my spine.

  • The Teach: noun, when Tom and Kenny yell at you while skipping all the important rules. They then proceed to beat you to a pulp with a hand tied behind their back while repeating "get good" over and over. I don't understand why everyone is always complaining about the way we teach games. Kids have it so easy these days. They just watch Tom Vasel advertise his Excedra pain medication and think they know how to play stuff. Shoot, I haven't made a Kung Pow reference yet. Um... ah... That's a lot of nuts? Is that good enough producers? Please don't fire me.

  • Playing your unplayed games is fairly simple: Article I, code blue, section A, step / phase 1) determine if said game is still desirable. For determining desirability please reference Appendix 2, section D. For definition of desirability please reference glossary of terms in the D&D monster manual under “anthropomorphic animals”.

    For those who want the tips but can’t be bothered to listen: just play the games. Easy. It’s like the board game equivalent of “if you’re depressed, just be happy”. Works like a charm every time.

  • Imagine you were Flat Stanley and a scientist experimented on you by branding and perforating your body with Quacks pieces. Now imagine that it's seven years in the future. You've recovered from the horrific event known only as "the incident". You now have a spouse and two beautiful children. A representative from CMYK shows up at your door with a megenta-colored suit and matching sunglasses. They politely request that you get into the car. Inside is the very scientist that ruined your life. They say they have a great new direction. Things will be different this time. The doors lock. Your children cry as the car drives away...

  • What if I told you there was a lifestyle that could make your heart healthier, your brain smarter, your looks smokin', and the world a better place? I mean, there probably is something like that (punch reading? sex charity?) That's about as far as we got with the hypothetical. We're talking board games as usual. But hey, those can be good for you too! This episode features considerably more positivity and coincidentally more games we played together. It wasn't intentional, but we'll take it.

  • Grab a couple of your favorite kids/pets and strap them to you by a warm fire. It's time to get cozy. Or is it? Is cozy a thing? Was it a thing and now it's just blasé? Perhaps even cozé? Kenny pulls a Tom on this one and absolutely rags on cozy games for a good century. Also: the appearance of everyone's favorite Disney animal companion, Aladdin's jolly blue genie.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
