Opener: Taverns of Tiefenthal. Plus someone finally got Wingspan online multiplayer right, and it was the BGA team. I've gone through a few waves of downsizing my game collection. The latest was just a month ago, inspired by a friend's visit to organize my collection. In the process, I felt the ability to let several games go. They haven't been sold off yet, but they're stacked up elsewhere in a for-sale pile, letting me consolidate the games I'm sticking with into fewer shelves.

When I stepped back, I saw that several of the games on the shelf were ones that anyone might have in their collection, while others were more personal choices, oddballs for one reason or another. At least they are less popular, I think. I've collected ten of those titles to talk about in this episode. (That includes one of the games that comes from my spillover collection in a credenza at work.)

I've been thinking about a new top ten of more recent games, but I'm not ready with that. Perhaps that will be in a future show, because there ARE plenty of modern titles that I really enjoy. It would be fun to talk about them, in part to contrast them against the "hotness" on BGG and Kickstarter that I often can't connect with. Again...that's a future show. In THIS episode I thought my original top ten was worth discussing all over. In some cases they are games I love just as much as ever. Others are more sentimental favorites, not really making it to the table any longer. In a few cases I think the games represented of a type of game that I still enjoy, and there are newer examples.

Closer: The outcome of our Discord polling about "evergreen" games. In contrast, I almost completely forgot about the "Essen anticipation" shows I used to do! -Mark

Jason has a full house today! Liz Davidson from Beyond Solitaire, designer of the Undaunted series David Thompson, and Gary Mengle from Ardwulf's Lair join the show to discuss our hobby's fascination with Nazis. In almost any gaming conversation with any depth, it only takes a few minutes until someone mentions Nazis. What is our fascination? Why do we defend our right to play Nazis in games so vehemently? What is the historical relationship between Nazis and the larger German military, and why did wargamers, for a long time, lionize the latter? We get into all of these topics and more.

You fail to notice a sharp thing, so you step on it and take 1 wound. Go to paragraph 166.

In this episode Adrian, Mike and Dan recap our recent collaboration with ComicCon and discuss the various gateway games we taught to the community. In Sizzling Games, Adrian has been frothing over fast food franchises, Mike has been painting patterns of paper, and Dan has been scouting the seas, sands and the stars.

We also recap last week's Question of the Pod: What are you favourite innovations in board games? Thanks to everyone who contributed and shared their photos with us on Discord and the Facebook Community.

Finally, in Swear An Oath, Adrian squared away Food Chain Magnate and has already ordered the expansion, Dan hasn't managed to get Sleeping Gods to the table yet, and Mike enjoyed Dog Park. New oaths include Pampero (Adrian), a solo-play Wayfarers of the South Tigris (Dan), and Zombicide: Undead or Alive (Mike).
