Spooky scary skeletons take over the podcast this episode when Joel and Chris revel in their joint enjoyment of all things horror-themed. We count down five great horror movies and five great horror board games in a conversation short on jump scares but long on fun. Then Joel finally agrees to play another game, when Chris decides to test his horror prowess. On a scale of 1 to 13, just how Friday are we? Tune in to find out!

After two special guest episodes in a row, we’re back to basics as Joel and Chris can’t shut up about movies, games, and everything else. On today’s episode we countdown another 3-2-1, this time pairing up games and food for a high-end dinner party for the ages (or at least Chris does, but Joel is there too, offering what we can only charitably describe as everyday food). And then Joel puts Chris to the test to see what he can remember about the games he’s played only one time. Does he have what it takes to earn a game title that he can wear proudly on his chest?

Joel and Chris strap on their space helmets this week and take a cruise to the far reaches of game design when they sit down with designer Ben Rosset and Dennis Northcott, one of the minds behind Kinson Key Games. With the recent launch of Excursions on Kickstarter, Ben and Dennis share the games that define them as well as their thoughts on game design, simultaneous action, running a successful game company, and more. And what interview would be complete without Chris putting them through their paces in a brand new game set against a ticking clock? Will they be successful? Only one way to find out! Download, give us a listen, and then pop on over to the Excursions Kickstarter and see if it’s a game for you!
