Hey Now Cabalists, the Founders are back for another installment of your favorite 3-hour dose of insubordinate nonsense! Today the gang chats up a bunch of awesome games including Risk: Legacy, The Shores of Tripoli, Dwellings of Eldervale, What Do You Meme?, Survive Escape from Atlantis and Tidal Blades: Heroes of the Reef. Then we jump right into a feature review of Aliens: Another Glorious Day in the Corps from Gale Force Nine. Tony T is on point yet again with the most astounding tabletop gaming news segment in the history of tabletop gaming media and the rest of the guys ruin it by cracking wise and pointing out all the mispronunciations. And the crew wraps up the show with another Short Topic Extravaganza featuring the topics of how to make a top 50 favorite games list, do we keep stats of our plays and do the Founders enjoy new games or old games better. Aliens: Another Glorious Day in the Corps Imperium Overview 01:00:37, Aliens: Another Glorious Day in the Corps Review 01:06:14, News with Tony T 01:33:15, Short Topic Extravaganza 02:18:35
If you've been following board games social media recently, you might have noticed that it's been a rough couple of weeks. Incidents like these, albeit difficult, allow us a chance to define our community and underscore our values. Silence can imply consent. We can either choose to silently defend powerful figures use their influence to harm vulnerable people without consequence, or we can choose to try and speak up to become a more welcoming and inclusive community. So Very Wrong About Games chooses to try to do the latter.
00:57 Our statement on Phil Eklund and Daniele Tascini
Tom joins Suzanne and Mandi on this episode! Tom takes a little graphic design rant detour - but the crew manages to cover Village Green, Burgle Bros 2, and Under Falling Skies before they wrap up with a Vegas Game Pie (Kringle.)
Episode 69 - Special Guest: Martin Gonzalvez, Steampunk Rally Fusion, Warp's Edge, Barrage: the Leeghwater Project Expansion
Ever wanted to have a crack at building your own game prototype? Did your latest Kickstarter come with PNP files and you're wondering what to do with them? Well, we've got your back!
On this episode Steve, Dan and Adrian are joined by the guru of Print and Play, Martin Gonzalvez. We discuss his solo-gaming focused podcast Solosaurus and of course the world of Print and Play games. It's everything you wanted to know but were too afraid to ask! We also find out the story behind the #BlameMartinG movement
In our Sizzling Games segment, Dan has been racing around Steampunk Rally Fusion, Martin has been going to the Warps' Edge, Steve believes his gaming strategies are Unmatched, and Adrian has been busy building The Leeghwater Project.
Finally, we discuss the impact that Swearing An Oath has been having on our gaming lately and revise the segment by swearing some more realistic gaming oaths.
All that and the usual shenanigans in Episode 69 of the Board Game BBQ Podcast.

In this frighteningly 126th episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Ava and Quinns try their very own best to convince our very own Tom to play their favourite Uwe’s. What’s an Uwe? I thought it was a big sheep, but I’ve been wrong before.
But before the great Uwe Showdown - where we discuss games as great and diverse as Nusfjord, Glass Road, A Feast for Odin and Le Havre - we first have a neat little discussion about Hallertau; the biggest and bumpiest box of bricks, bits and bobs that Germany has EVER seen. Does it live up to the hype? What’s the bottom line? And most importantly… How many beans?
We tried to keep this one shorter, as per the new podcast-a-week project, and we failed miserably! Please enjoy our nonsense rambling for close to an hour, until we start to get knackered.
It's the dark middle chapter of the Board Game Barrage Top 50 Games of All Time. Time to call in a new director, change things up, and get subversive. Well, if there were any directors who'd still work with us. This week, we're barreling through our twenties in what we like to call reverse numerical order. Here's forty (odd) more games that we absolutely adore, and hope you will too.

In episode 46 the gang gets together to talk about Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 4th Edition from Cubicle 7. The Lords are into their second month of play and give their thoughts on the system so far. Then the group takes a question from a listener regarding adversarial Game Masters and the challenge of combat - what is too much, Death and Dying and the Game Master fairness.
Paula takes the hosting chair and runs with it, where she went we don't know.

Too much news! So much news, in fact, that we had to cut some news. Some news, though news-y, will keep until next week. The key is to wrap the roots of the news in damp paper towel, put the news in a plastic bag, and put the bag in the fridge. The news will keep up to a couple weeks that way, whereas it would have become limp news on the counter in as little as a day.
