BGB Podcast #363 – The Dark Depths of Mailbag

18. Juni 2026 um 10:34

 

 

It’s been a while since we’ve plumbed the depths of the bottomless chasm we call “fanmail”, so this week we’re reaching our hands as far as we can and pulling out some questions that have yet to see the light of say. Before we dig too greedily and too deep, we talk about Politrickers, Marvel Champions: The Card Game, and Banana Governance.

Are board games best played multiplayer? Who can say, but whether it’s because you can’t get people together at the appropriate time, or you’re just itching to play something on your lonesome, there’s a burgeoning scene of solo games out there waiting to be played, and we’re going to talk about them. Well, some of us are, anyway. Before we go it alone, we talk about Hunted: Kobayashi Tower, Corps of Discovery, and Senji.
