  • 15: Game as Directed
    2025/07/20
    Sometimes your friends know what's best for you. Don't argue. Alba investigates the sepia-filtered nostalgic appeal of adult gaming. Kenan subjects a ravenous Alba to a round of Random Name Generator. Alba subjects you to attempted baseball metaphors. Then we report on our experiences with games we forced one another to play, and solicit further recommendations from the Rabble. Discussed: Grand Austria Hotel, Klemens Franz, Cafe culture in the Viennese Modern Age, The White Castle and games with tight action economies, rubber banding and bowling bumpers and good first experiences, games that grow on you, Taverns of Tiefenthal, Orléans, Quacks (of Quedlinberg), strategy and push-your-luck games, risk aversion and making your father proud, giggling as you bust, uninviting UI for welcoming games, accessibility and the Quacks revamp, Games that isolate single mechanisms, Oracle of Delphi and grail games, TI4 birthday bashes, Nemo's War and dancing with oneself, Tir Na Nog or possibly Hog, River Valley Glassworks, Vindication and too many choices, Fairy Rings, Dale of Merchants and too many choices, Mesos, Rebel Princess and frog princes, Concordia and analysis paralysis, head-to-head vs. private puzzles, Groundhog Day, Alchemists and app assistance, Underwater Cities, After Us and trash talk, Faraway and making the most of the hand you're dealt, Last Bastion and exceptions revisited, Fire Tower and competitive marriages, Kodachi and deckbuilding, Earth and overabundance, Euchre, Endeavor Deep Sea and the Dharma Initiative, and what to play next. Do as you're told.

  • Bonus: Rolling Reggie's Mid-Year Board Game Tag
    2025/07/08
    We interrupt our regularly scheduled takes for a barrage of micro-takes in response to a recent Rolling Reggie video. We discuss the games that have surprised and delighted us in the first half of 2025, and tag our cherished chusma to do the same. I can still hear you saying you would never break the never break the chain. Bass solo.

  • 14: Exceptions to the Rule
    2025/06/16
    Sometimes you think you know a game before you've played it. Sometimes all your assumptions were correct, and it works its way into your heart anyway. Tara (Tara's Bad Luck Club) joins us to talk about games that won us over despite being decidedly not our type. Kenan tells us about the trick-taker that helped him make sense of trick-taking. Alba quizzes us on our knowledge on non-existent bands. Then we reveal the exceptions to our rules and all of yours. Topics include tapping into nostalgia, family gaming traditions, My Favorite Things, Ra, For Sale, Power Grid, Rising Sun, pacing in bidding games, grudges that extend into replays, Landmarks, Codenames, limited communication, the entertainment value of miscommunication, putting a map on it, games that depend on shared references, gaming with moms, Magic Maze, real-time games, Bullet, buyer's remorse, QE, Nidavellir, whether set collection is for babies, big teaches, whether word association is for normies, Bohnanza and negotiation, One Night Ultimate Werewolf and Blood on the Clocktower and Shifted and Feed the Kraken and social deduction, Invincible and bag-building and IP's, That's Not a Hat and party games, Spirit Island and Sky Team and Last Bastion and co-op games, whether memory is for babies, whether you should ever play three card monte (spoiler: no), whether life is a game worth playing (spoiler: yes), whether exceptions prove rules (spoiler: sorta), and whether our biases need to be re-examined (spoiler: no).
