Episode 6: Spyrium
Anthony has found a new favorite game and some of the table isn’t as impressed. Join us this week as we review Spyrium, a lightweight, low cost worker placement game that does a lot of things right but leaves some question marks at the table. Chris, Dan and Kim will also be talking about Shadow Hunters, the go to game for groups of 7 in our game group, Werewolf Inquisition, the black hole obsession that is Mage Wars, and San Juan – one of the most elegant card games around. At the Table This week, we were busy! Having played…
Episode 5: Nothing Personal
This week we took things a little easy to make sure we had enough stamina to tackle our feature review in full – Nothing Personal. As the newest release from Game Salute, courtesy of Tom Vasel and Steve Avery, Nothing Personal is an exercise in resilience, backstabbing, and brilliant components.

Join Anthony, Chris, Dan and Kim for episode four. At the Table We get four games to the table this week and the quality range…
Episode 3: Game of Thrones The Card Game (LCG)
One of the first and most beloved games in our collection is the Game of Thrones LCG from Fantasy Flight Games. While there is a big lifestyle movement around this game and a huge tournament scene, we love just playing it out of the box with the core set cards and this week we sit down to review that experience (NOTE: This review was recorded well before the 2nd Edition and only refers to the 1st edition core set). Join Anthony, Chris, Dan, and Kim this week to discuss AGoT along with Guilds of Cadwallon, Castellan, Munchkin Legendary, and Timeline…
