Willie: My voice is fully recovered! We talk about games we played, and mostly talk about Harmonies, a beautiful abstract game about nature! We also talk about the one bad thing I didn't like about it!
Alexa: You think harmonicas are beautiful???
Willie: Okay, TWO bad things...
-
Willie: We're back! This is the unofficial start to Season 3 of Boardgames and Blank as we report on our time at Kublacon 2024 this year! We go over all the shenanigans that happened, as well as what games we played (or tried to).
Alexa: It took a month to post this!!!!
Willie: SHUSH!

Willie: It's that time again soon: KublaCon 2024 is upon us, and in today's episode (after a brief talk and rant about Harmonies, the latest abstract nature tile-laying game that took my attention by storm), we talk about boardgame convention excitement, along with what games I'm looking forward to snagging if I see them available!
Alexa: Hooray for KublaCon!!!!! I want to play Harmonies there!!! The Shipwreck Arcana!!! Riverside!!! Rafter Five!!! I WANT TO GET DICE!!!!! >:O
Willie: If only you would harness this energy towards your homework...
-
Willie: Today, we're talking about recent boardgames we've been playing, and then talking about a game about making plans to go to Japan called Let's Go to Japan, by Josh Wood! Just hear us out, the game sounds like it's boring, but it's very fun and beautiful and is a challenging solo game as well!
Alexa: I want the bowls from your fancy deluxe edition!!! >:D
Willie: Leave my bowls alone!
-
Willie: Hi everyone! We go over a lot of games we've played since the last episode, and talk about a wonderfully-abstract game with glorious components called Lacuna!
Alexa: I like how in the photo for the episode includes our crooked flower (pink). And yes, it is a wonderfully abstract game with GLORIOUS components. :D
Willie: Why do you sound like me? Did I raise a parrot?
Alexa: Can I have a cracker?
-
Willie: Today, we talk about an underrated game that deserves more plays, Tiny Towns! A game that requires strategy in resource-placement on a limited 4 x 4 grid to create the building meeples that you require for the best score possible.
Alexa: It's always so satisfying to see your completed tiny town... full of wells.
Willie: Well, well, well...
-
Willie: Happy New Year! We're starting 2024 with a game we played in 2023 in both recent plays and in the main episode...Nana: Christmas Edition!
Alexa: It sounds like we should've started it weeks ago but actually we just took a long time editing. :\
Willie: Secrets...revealed!
-
Willie: It's the holidays! Taking a fun break from the norm of talking about a game and a page from an awesome boardgame podcast Boardgame Blitz and listing five games we'd like to play before Christmas! Not necessarily a "top" list or in any particular order, but something different this time around. Also, because I anticipate others are interested in one of Alexa's picks, it's here.
Alexa: But your list is in a particular order. You're always too organized. But my room is totally super neat :P
Willie: Riiiiiight. See you all in 2024!

Alexa: Hi, I am Alexa and I'm the only person doing the description today. :=( We will be talking about our 1,000,000 (??) ButtonShy games. How many do we have? Let's find out! And... hopefully find all of them.
Willie: Excuse you, there are 31+ games in my ButtonShy collection, thank you very much, along with some interesting stories here and there. It's fitting, then, that this MASSIVE episode is almost an HOUR of edited audio that we should've split into two, but we didn't...so please enjoy! It also comes with a sudden end thanks to Lenny walking all over my keyboard.
Alexa: Good work, Lenny! Hey, wasn't I supposed to be the only one typing this?

Willie: Happy Halloween, everyone! Today we talk all about spoopy games and of one in particular, Shaky Manor from Blue Orange games! Alexa's still shaking people, though...
Alexa: What's a shaky manor? shaky people makes more sense. No one says "shaky people"...
Willie: Stop shaking everything!
-
Willie: This week, we talk recent games played, and about AEG's latest game, Shake That City!
Alexa: You mean PERSON. Why would it be "city"? It doesn't make any sense at all. But "person" makes way more sense.
Willie: Stop shaking people, Alexa.
-
Willie: Hi all! Making up for some missed weeks by releasing another episode. We talk about games played, and then we talk about another Phil Walker-Harding game, the dry-erase-card game Silver and Gold!
Alexa: We missed so many weeks... cuz we're lazy!
Willie: We're trying to be better!
-
Willie: In today's episode, we talk about recent games we played, and all about the kid-version of Kingdomino, Dragonimo!
Alexa: Dinosaurio!!!!!!!!!!!
Willie: Let's agree that either name is a stretch....
-
Willie: In today's episode, Emmett joins Alexa and I again talking about the games we played, and talk about a recently-released AEG game Fit to Print, all about animals making newspapers!
Alexa: NOOOOSSSSPAPERRRRRRR..... wait. Nosepaper? Yeah that's probably it...
Emmett: This is sooooo fun.
Willie: Also, Alexa also has a good idea for a future Fit to Print expansion! And we have bloopers! Enjoy!
-
Willie: In this overdue episode, we catch up on games, have a follow-up story from KublaCon, and discuss the delightfully-quick strategy game Boop, which has been given a terrible nickname as seen in the episode name above.
Alexa: While they boop they poop :D
Willie: Okay, that honestly could be a very hilarious mini-expansion. :D
Alexa: Never unerestimate my genius.
-
Willie: Can you believe it's been a year since we started Boardgames and Blank, Alexa? But I think this works to our advantage, because it's timed well with KublaCon, our local con that we go to! Yes, we're posting our post-thoughts about the now-2-weeks-ago con, as well as what we played recently as well. What a way to kick off Season 2!
Alexa: And because it's the start of the new season, let me tell you a random fact! Toejam is...
Willie: NOTHING! It's nothing! Can't we just stick with boardgames?
Alexa: If you don't know what it is, I dare you to search it up.
Willie: Season 2 is gonna be great...
-
Willie: Finally got this episode edited! Today, we talk about what we've been playing lately, and then about a simple card game about capturing a criminal in tunnels called Bandida.
Alexa: Finally. We did this episode AGES ago.
Willie: I know. Hopefully the next one won't be so far off...
-
Willie: Today, we talk about the Impact of Tacos vs Burritos, hungry numbers, barrels with eyes, stealing stuff, and buggy games! This is also the first podcast episode where we added bloopers in the end!
Alexa: Wait-- it IS!? I don't remember anything about you saying, "Hey Alexa we're gonna put bloopers at the end of the podcast!!" I HEARD NONE OF THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Willie: Instead of erasing our mistakes, I'm collecting them all in a jar to release at the end and oh no I broke the jar...
-
Willie: Okay, newest podcast comes a week later than our bi-weekly schedule, so we got to work on that. But today, we're going over Marvel Remix, a game based on the same gameplay mechanic as Fantasy Realms, but with its own twist and different theme! It's a game I won in Raynah88's Twitch stream (where she streams board and video games), and a game I'll likely throw in the TRASH!
Alexa: Yeah, he's gonna throw it in the trash cuz I keep beating him. [:
-
Willie: It's been a while since our last episode, so bear with us while we re-adjust our formats somewhat, but we're still excited to record more Boardgames and Blank podcasts! In today's episode, we go over nearly all the games we've been playing during our long hiatus, and then we talk about Cat Lady and its expansion Box of Treats!
Alexa: Because we're lazy.
Willie: ARGH!Shoutout to BookOfNerds, check out his boardgame Twitch Streams:
