Matt gave me a live correction right after I said they're Swedish but I didn't check my phone until after the show.

Episode #6 is now up!  This episode's theme, gamer etiquette, was inspired by Chris (Bricktown) asking me, "hey, which episode was it that you talked about gamer etiquette?"  Well, the answer is this one!

We also talk about Clank!: A Deck-Building Adventure, Gloomhaven, 7 Wonders, Cosmic Encounter, and the latest expansion to T.I.M.E Stories!

Episode #7, which focuses on worker placement games, is now available.  We also talk about El Grande, Millennium Blades, Clash of Cultures, and Adam clarifies his thoughts on Clank.  You know the drill.

Episode #9 talks about clever use of components.  Our featured game was Anachrony, and we also discussed War of the Ring, Castaways, Samurai, Ingenious, and the recent Fan Expo Regina.  Links are in the first post.

And don't worry, I made sure to have one of our requisite technical difficulties.    (Talking and pressing buttons at the same time is hard...)

Episode #10 is up.  The topic is storytelling in games.  The featured game is Chad's favourite, Battlestar Galactica.  Ryan ranted about Great Western Trail and post-Agricola / post-Feld game design, and we also touched on Sagrada and Letter Tycoon.

Episode #11 breaks down the history of modern board games into three epochs: pre-Catan, post-Catan, and pre-Kickstarter (the Kickstarter era will be a separate show).  As for recently played games, we discussed Santorini, Between Two Cities, and Ethnos.

Episode #12 focuses on the era of Kickstarter and the effects of crowdfunding on the industry.  We also discuss board game representations of escape rooms, as well as recently played games.
