It's an awful notion, but bear with me. What if you lost your entire board game collection, and had to rebuild it from scratch? Here's the catch, you only have one hundred dollars. We try to predict what the Red Tank would do, before he talks us through what makes the cut, and why. Before we rebuild, we talk about 5211, Marco Polo II: In the Service of the Khan, and Cóatl.

In episode 43, we start out talking to Jess about taking over their Dungeons and Dragons Ravenloft campaign and what a Cameltaur is. Then we discuss our first training session using the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 4th edition game system. And finally, the gang discusses randomness in role playing games and how to handle it when bad luck gets out of hand.
In this show, we review Gudetama, 5er Finden, Box of Rocks, Beyond the Sun, and Etherfields! Geoff talks about flavors of cheating, and Tom and Eric answer questions on counterfeit games, going back in time, and teaching kids to teach! Finally, we end the show going over our top ten games that start with the letter "T"!
I never knew a kid who had any kind of fort. In grade school I heard of a kid who could form Voltron, but that may have been an extravagant lie. My mom's friend's kids had a Sega Genesis, and that was pretty rad. I keep acquiring more games in the vain hope that it will make me popular, but it hasn't worked yet. Maybe one or two more Street Masters expansions will do the trick. I am told to be popular you have to wash your hair at least once every two weeks.

Slow and steady might win the race, but it doesn't make for an exciting board game. Pacing is a vital component of most entertainment mediums that doesn't often get applied to board games, so we're going to climb and climb and climb and climb ... and then rapidly descend down the roller-coaster of emotion that makes for some of our favourite games. Before we set the pace, we talk about Bus, The Game: Quick & Easy, and Tekhenu: Obelisk of the Sun.
02:27 - Bus 21:40 - The Game: Quick & Easy 28:34 - Tekhenu: Obelisk of the Sun 41:50 - Teotihuacan 45:45 - Pacing in Board Games 50:53 - Fast Sloths 52:20 - The Estates 53:39 - Taj Mahal 54:03 - Kemet 54:29 - Rising Sun 55:22 - Food Chain Magnate 55:46 - Archipelago 57:47 - Escape Plan 58:39 - Troyes 1:01:28 - Splendor 1:01:58 - Dogs of War 1:01:58 - Cursed Court 1:03:07 - Time's Up 1:04:08 - The Voyages of Marco Polo
