Something is very off this episode... Dave hosts and it's a little bit French
This Game is Broken is a comedy board game panel show with Matthew Jude, Dave Luza, Paula Deming, Nick Murphy and Mike Murphy. We play a lot of nonsense games full of role playing and trivia as well as other fun stuff which can be found at the links below.

In Chris' second episode of his run he wants to know why we suck at board games, well when we say we we mean us specifically as we can't comment on general gamers. Do we abandon games we suck at? Do we stick with it in the vain hope we'll become better? Listen to our latest episode to find out.
FIRST PLAYER: Chris
OTHER PLAYERS: Adrian, Rob & Dan
In this episode you'll learn:
- what the hell desk cycling means and why Chris has been doing a lot of it? no it's not a board game
- about Rob's experience of managing stealthy robots in Burncycle by Chip Theory Games
- how Dan has gone back to the 90's in the retro-like point and click adventure of Cantaloop by Lookout Games
- that White Castle by Devir Games keeps getting mentioned and a lot of love from Adrian
- which games the gang ultimately suck at and why

Some important editorial notes!
-the game walker mentioned is Völuspá, and no we don't know what work those accents are doing;
-SVWAG does not engage in the eating of seal meat (no one's thought to offer, really);
-we hope that Undaunted 2200: Callisto will follow in Battle of Britain's excellent example of having a badass Sikh pilot.

How do we share some of the games we got at Gen Con without making you listen to us for hour upon hour. We put the 5 Minute Initiative constraint on ourselves. So instead of me breaking down in writing all the games we covered and wasting your time this way, give a listen to those that interest you. The beauty of timestamps.
Thanks for taking the time and hope one of these games might be of interest to you.

Joe has been playing a game with a grandma featuring a bazooka from the one and only Dr. Lauren has been frantically drawing things terribly.
There's also the Question of the Pod and a brand new segment which includes exonerating hosts from some unfulfilled oaths, and instead pumping each other up with what has them fired up!

It's about people, right? Below all the mechanics, after all the rules explanations, beyond every crushing loss and glorious win, what really matters is people we're playing with. Some games make that more apparent than others, and we're here to celebrate that. Before we realize it's about the friends we made along the way, we talk about Arcs, and Luthier.
