Join Kalen, Neilan and Mark for a podcast about board games, the latest hotness, and how to have fun with your friends even when you're losing.

There are big spiky moments that happen in the meta that is the board game hobby, and the Brass: Pittsburgh crowdfunding campaign feels like...

Oh man, oh man, it's time that we ask you (yes, you) to tell us (yes, us) what your favourite games are, because for one time a year, it doe...

We made it back in one piece, and all told I think we did pretty well! We got through a heck of a lot of what we wanted to play, and we're h...

By the time you're listening to this, we're probably already in Vegas for Dice Tower West! We're going to hang about all day playing games -...

I think it's fair to say that we crushed this last year (although some of us better than others), so it's only correct and right that we sho...

All of this has happened before and will happen again. Everything comes back around, including games you could swear you've played before. W...

Sometimes you know the type of game you want to play, just not exactly which game quite fits the bill. Is that heavy Euro too heavy? That de...

Well, we started this thing, so I guess we ought to finish it, as ill-advised as that might be. This is where all the chickens come home to...

Happy new year! We're back to continue the very peaceful, collaborative, kind endeavour that is coming together to harmoniously assemble our...

Okay, things are a bit different this year. In honour of our 350th episode (a very important milestone), we're going to combine forces, like...

Remember way back at the beginning of the year when we took some bets on what we thought the games of the year were gonna be? Well, all thos...

Somehow Ghost Turkey returned. And you never saw it coming! That might be because we forgot to remind people that it's Thanksgiving, but nev...

BGBBOB is back, and it's been long enough that you might need a reminder. Ten game designers enter the ring, and through the arduous process...

This episode is not about Bananagrams (at least, I don't think so), but it is about the price of things (though not Bananagrams specifically...

Not perturbed by Kellen's trip to Germany, we're all daydreaming about the motherlode of board game conventions, Essen SPIEL. There's a lot...

Dreaded continuity! We're following up Episode 41 from seven years ago about the games that started our love for board games! After those fi...

The draft's back! This time it's card games, and we're picking the bestof what ought to be a staple of any good collection. We love card gam...

There's any number of subtle innuendoes we could've gone with, but this is what we're doing I guess . If you haven't got there yet, we're ta...

One, two, three, four, five, everybody in the car so come on let's ride ... to the mailbag! We're answering your pressing questions - and oh...

Are board games best played multiplayer? Who can say, but whether it's because you can't get people together at the appropriate time, or you...

Sometimes once is enough, you know? Doesn't mean it was bad , but it might just be that you can have too much of a good thing. We're talking...

Gen Con! Where all the cool games are, before you even know they're cool. Or hot! We've got you covered, if you want to know what all the be...

It's time again to turn the tables and get your take, to feel out the collective tastes of you, the listeners of the show. It's the annual L...

When playing games it's easy to fall into the trap of over-anaylsing turns, or questioning whether the move we made was the right one, or ev...

A dazzling place you never knew ... until now that is! We're diving deep on beloved designer Cole Wehrle in another designer spotlight. We d...

Well, we finally did it. We played CATAN, and it was ... good! And then we started wondering, is there anything that's done quite the same t...

Happy 333! In honour of our three hundred and thirty third episode, BoardGameGeek has decided to host an emergency session of the Golden Gee...

I would say that, for the most part, there's very little we won't play - but we also know what we like, and especially what we don't like. E...

We've spent a lot of time over the years singing the praises of the games we love, but they can't be perfect right? Surely there's something...

We just got back from Dice Tower West, so you know what that means ... bunches and bunches of games! Between the convention, and the meetup,...

I'm not sure why you'd make a hall of fame that's not also a sidewalk, but that's exactly what BoardGameGeek have gone and done - they've cu...

Okay, pay attention, this is gonna be different! We're looking at the rest of 2025, deciding what we think the most well received games of t...

It's finally time to cap it all off with the cream of the cream, Mark and Neilan's final set of ten games each! These are the games that we...

Neilan's back to continue the journey down the lazy river of cardboard that is his top 50 board games of all time. It's games 30 through 11!...

And back to Mark! It's the soggy middle of his top 50, or as he insists on calling it, his numbers 30 through 11. That is twenty more delici...

It's meeeeeeeeeee! So if you care to find my top 50 list, look right here. The first twenty incredible games on the list that early critics...

It's time! The grand spectacle that is our greatest games of all time is here at last! We're breaking things out a bit differently this year...

As we approach the end of 2024, it's about time we stop, take stock, and dare I say look back at the year that's been. The highs, the lows,...

Gobble Bobble, here comes trouble in the form of a pairing we never thought we'd see - Bob and the Ghost Turkey have delivered us another ho...

We've been to Las Vegas and back for the very unofficial recurring gathering we like to call BarrageCon (which is really just all of us hang...

I think it's fair to say at this point, that we've pretty firmly established each of our respective tastes when it comes to board games, whe...

The Fandango Tank returns! The ever wonderful Mike DiLisio joins us again, this time to collectively cast our minds forward to some things w...

So we've done a lot of these drafts before, but I don't think we've done one quite like this. This time we're each trying to draft a set of...

I'm in a bit of a quandary here, because Mark told me not to tell you what this episode is even about, but I want this description to be, we...

We may or may not be going to Germany (who can say), but that's where all the good gaming is gonna be, so that's what we're gonna talk about...

It's about people, right? Below all the mechanics, after all the rules explanations, beyond every crushing loss and glorious win, what reall...

The only thing worse than coming away from a first game with a really bad impression, is when it takes a really long time to shake. Imagine...

It's awards season, which means that Germany's back to tell us what games are popping off over there. And that also means we're back to tell...

We've all been travelling about so much recently (some of us may or may not still be) that we often find ourselves asking, "what games shoul...

Bob's back from his trip to 2014, and oh the wonders he's seen - games that not only were amazing back then, but somehow we're still talking...
