Oho! What's this? Board gaming's most excitable hour of chatter is back, as Matt and Quinns discuss everything they played and saw over the New Year, including a visit to London's first board game cafe. After that, this one's all about crap houses.
The boys discuss the terrible property investments they made in Last Will and the Getting Sacked expansion, Matt makes fun of Quintin's horrible estate in Castles of Mad King Ludwig, before finally the boys discuss how being tall makes it harder to build pagodas in Pagoda.
Finally the boys talk about Dead Body, a game sent in by reader Joe Faustine that would work best in a real-life spooky house.
In this show, we take a look at the games: The Ancient World, Spike, Waggle Dance, Noble Treachery, Kerflip, and Fire Dragon. We also answer a pile of questions, and end the show taking a look back five years ago - at the best games of 2010!

Shelley and I get to a few games that just didn't work for us. They may be more to your likeing (and I'd love to hear your opinions on the Guild at BGG), but we found them problematic at best.

After two solo efforts, I realized that having a partner on the microphones would work better, and the best partner on mic would be my partner in life. Find out more about Shelley's gaming past.
Another OLD episode back on the feed. Since I play games with teens and non-gamers often, here was my take (nine years ago) on bringing those groups into the fold.
With the new feed that we started last summer, it's time to get all of the episodes in one place. I'll be putting up all of the missing episode (1-229) on the feed over the next few months. Here's where we started about NINE YEARS AGO. BTW, I still HAVE Kreta and Hey That's My Fish...the others have find new homes.
The seeds of your fundraising commitments are already yielding fruit! It's the Secret Cabal Express! The Express is a shorter version of the main show but with some content that wouldn’t normally fit into a full length episode. The founders just returned from Geoff Engelstein's Game Day and we discuss the games we played and why Buonocore now owns a pair of purple socks. Then the gang talks about what’s on their gaming radar. And finally, they give their RPG sales pitches
In this show, we welome the New Year, talk about holiday gaming and gifts received. We take a look at Doodle Quest, Roll for the Galaxy, Temporum, Rattlebones, Zoneplex, and more! Bill talks about conventions, Bryan about an older game, and we look at our gaming resolutions for 2015. Finally, we introduce our 2015 Kickstarter!
In the second half of our mega end-of-the-year 2014 show, we are joined by a host of contributors to talk about the best expansion, strangest game, biggest brainburner, best cooperative game and more! Finally, we end the show with our top ten board games of 2014, and what we're looking forward to in 2015. Happy New Year, everyone!
For our last podcast of the year, Marty and I discuss Imperial Settlers at length. We talk about our likes and dislikes and Marty gives you a quick run-through of […]
Shelley and I spent some time over the summer trying to make sure we got some older titles off the shelves and onto the table. This episode is our reflection on some of those titles that might be worth hunting down with your Christmas loot!

I'm glad I've received good feedback about all of these BGG.con episodes, because I have TWO more. There's this one with Davebo, a look back on the con after I'd been home for a while (which also serves as a look forward to next year--I hope to return). Then a little later I'll record my traditional post-BGG.con episode with Greg Pettit where we talk about the new Essen titles we played. We kind of did that already in the daily episodes during the con, but we've each had more time to play other titles, refine our opinions, and also look back a year to consider what happened to the 2013 titles.In this one, Dave & I reflect on what we enjoyed, what we want to do again next year, and what we would wish to do differently. Some of those I have a clear idea about, and others I'm still not sure about. In particular, I can't quite figure out what I want to do about meeting new, random people and playing new games with them. Perhaps old games with new people can be a good combo (like the Entdecker-with-BGTG-listeners idea), and new games with old friends (who can do the teaching) can also be good. I'm not sure I'll do new games with new people again. Maybe.Hey! I'm really asking for feedback this time. Dave & I asked several questions, and we want your feedback. I'm giving away podcast buttons as little prizes. If you win, you get a Boardgames To Go button, a Wargames To Go button, or both if you want!Button contests!!1.
