It’s hard to believe, but Board Gamers Anonymous has been around for 2 full years now! Join Anthony, Chris, Daniel and Drew this week as we discuss what those two years have been like, what we’ve learned, what you told us in our recent survey, and what we have planned for the months and episodes to come. Shout it from the Tabletop This week, we talk about an interesting case of poor planning for a Kickstarter gone wrong. Goblinworks, formed to create Pathfinder MMO, has halted work on it & cuts staff. Paizo is now looking for another company to take over…

Pandemic Legacy, designed by Matt Leacock and Rob Daviau, is one of the most hotly anticipated board games in recent memory and has been kept tightly under wraps for months. Since it’s announcement, few if any outside of the Z-Man and F2Z camps have seen the game let alone any of its components or board. So today is a pretty great day as F2Z, the parent company of Z-Man Games (along with Pretzel Games and Plaid Hat Games) has released the Launch Trailer for Pandemic Legacy. You can watch the trailer below, just launched this morning by the company. This is our…

After a long week at GenCon trying to decide just how many games we could fit into our suitcases for the flight home, we wanted to talk about some of the games that have bumped other games off of our shelves in the last couple of years and made space for new stuff. Join Anthony, Chris, Daniel and Drew this week to discuss our Top 10 Games that Bumped Other Games from our Shelves, along with our newest entry in the CoolStuffInc contest for this week, Anthony’s solo gaming with Hostage Negotiator, and an interview with Mensa Mind Games judge,…

I talk about my newly discovered love of Doomtown: Reloaded in our ‘at the table’ segment on episode 83, but I thought it worth providing a more detailed review here – there just wasn’t enough time to say everything that needed to be said on the show. The short of it: Doomtown: Reloaded is a wonderfully thematic Wild West card game that is good enough to make the suffering through the difficult learning process worthwhile. I recommend this game for everyone on the sole condition that they are willing to stick with it through what might be the most punishing learning…

On this week’s episode, Anthony and Chris tackle one of the great questions of gaming – whether to upgrade and bling out a board game beyond what comes in the base game or leave it alone. We’ll discuss token upgrades, metal coins, sleeving, box inserts and storage solutions, and the ever-more popular special edition releases for games that have been out for some time.
