In a world where games are outlawed, only outlaws play games. Two men stand against the forces of board game snobbery. From the studio that brought you “The Bald Cohost” and “Mr. Roll and Write” comes an episode where everything gets turned upside down. A friendship. A switcheroo. A game. Nothing will ever be the same. Tune in to episode 17 and find out what happens when games become movies and movies become games. Opens wide August 26.

The dynamic duo is back again to talk all things two player. Or at least SOME things two player. Despite the challenge of getting back into work mode, Joel pulls it together long enough to teach Chris about Canadian tv, and in return Chris brings Joel up to date on the next Texas Chainsaw in his rewatch. But the heart of the episode is a dive into two player games, first by discussing multiplayer games that shine at two players, and then by counting down our top five two player games–at least this year. Will every game on the list be a duel version of some classic title? You’ll have to listen to find out!

Join us as we take a trip to Hadestown as we lament the things we missed at GenCon and celebrate the things we enjoyed at GenCan’t. Then grab your dice and uncap your dry erase markers for our first true Top Five list as Joel and Chris discuss our top five roll and write games. We wrap up the episode with a brief discussion of when to believe a game box’s listed player count. Gather all your friends and listen in, because one thing without a maximum player count is the Oak and Onion podcast!
