  • When game time is limited, getting the most out of the game nights you do have can be important. In addition to sharing our game night optimization tips, we announce our giveaway winners and talk about what we’ve been playing lately, including first thoughts on a couple small box games from Envy Born Games. We finish off with three detailed reviews, including King’s Coalition from new game company Play to Z games, The Crooked Crown, a take that game from Outset Media, and the Jaws Robot Pack for Robot Quest Arena from Wise Wizard Games.

  • We answer a question about our favourite classic games, starting off with a bit of a debate about what makes a game classic.

    That is followed by a short talk about the games we’ve been playing. Then we wrap up with a trio of reviews, including Dragon Dice, a classic TSR game that’s still going strong thanks to a new publisher, Targi from KOSMOS, which harkens back to 2012, and the dice-building game KAPOW! from Wize Wizard Games.

  • Tonight we’re tackling a question from a long time fan of the show about games that are best played with the players sitting on the same side of the table. After that we’ve got three reviews, Marrakesh, the Point Salad app, and Cartographers Heroes. We wrap up with thoughts on Holotype, the Chameleon, Dubious and Kiss the Goblin

  • Sean was out of town due to work, so we figured we would try something new and record an episode with Moe and Deanna. The two of them discuss one of her favourite styles of games, mystery and escape room board games, and share some of their favourites. They then go on to review Ghost in the Machine from the Mysterious Package Company, Deanna’s favourite mystery game to date. They wrap up with the usual week in review including first thoughts on Doomensions, also from Mysterious Package Company.
