Kalee on BGG

Table Topics Podcast delves into the panoply of stories posted online to find those related to the hobby of tabletop gaming and gaming in general. Host Kalee Holdren retrieves stories from Reddit to share, with a rotation of guests who react and give feedback. Episodes look at specific scenarios, relationships, or types of games, and present advice and empathy to the posters or other characters in the chosen stories. Occasionally there’s a harsher rebuke - but all in the pursuit of better times with friends and better gaming. And honestly, sometimes you must speak truth when someone asks - AITA? Listeners will be guided across the ups and downs of games, deserved victories and crushing defeats, outbursts that may be or may not be about the game in question. The hosts approach the situations presented with humor and honesty, and invite listeners to send in stories they find, submit their own, or participate in the discussion on our social media and Discord.

Faith, Joy, Hope, and Jared jump into their cockpits to review one of the newest "My First" games: Star Realms Academy: My First Deckbuilding Game by Wacky Wizard Games. Note: Wacky Wizard Games was kind enough to provide us with a review copy of this game. Our intention is to review each game fairly and honestly whether we purchase a game or are given a game for review.

Kalee and Ashley return to tackle a tricky topic - alcohol at game nights. While the initial question posed to r/boardgames seemed to return a general consensus of comfort, there are horror stories lurking. These include the Great Gin and Tonic Flood of Carcassone, as well as those with much more serious connotations. We try to navigate all stories around this topic with grace and genuine advice. Trigger warnings: alcohol, alcoholism If these are not stories you want to hear, please skip this episode. We'll see you next time!
