We’re back with lots and lots of suggestions of solo games to enjoy. These aren’t the same old suggestions, either – we go beyond the familiar recommendations and offer some games that you might never have heard of, but which we absolutely love.

To kick things off this week we look at the listeners’ responses to the question of the week, asking what people are doing to cope and relax in this time of high stress and being stuck indoors. We don’t have much in the way of new games to talk about this week, so we invited on good friend Jason Perez, the host of Every Night is Game Night to talk about gaming, working at home with small children, and Pandemic – his favorite game and a source of some controversy in the gaming community right now. Want to join us…

Jason is back in the saddle with new weekly content. We were intending to take a longer break, but current circumstances in the world demand differently. Time to come back and reconnect with everyone. Jason is joined by Liz from Beyond Solitaire and Jeremy from Jambalaya Plays Games to check in on what we’ve been up to. Not too much gaming chat in this one, mostly catching up with one another and with you guys. Also, a big part of the episode is dedicated to a MASSIVE game giveaway that Jeremy is doing for folks who need some entertainment in…

As March wraps up, we have one more segment in our annual March Gamer Madness. Check out the finals and learn which game takes home the title of Top Kickstarter Campaign of All Time! Also joining us this week is Ryan from The Whole Card. We discuss Kickstarter Hype and let down, including some of the campaigns that didn’t live up to the Hype and the impact of backing a game on our perceptions of that game. Check out Ryan on his Twitch Channel live every week: https://www.twitch.tv/thewholecard/videos Special thanks go out to everyone who voted in our poll to…

So you find yourself under quarantine. Stuck in your house for weeks. Possibly months. What do you do? If you’re a board gamer, the answer is pretty simple – you play more board games, right? Not so fast. Unlike their couch-co-op cousins, video games, board games are inherently social. You get together. You laugh, you swear, you touch a LOT of the same stuff. So board gaming doesn’t translate perfectly to weeks on end of isolation. Or does it? We live in the golden age of board games. There are quite literally dozens of board games for every possible situation,…

To kick things off this week we look at the listeners’ responses to the question of the week around their responses to the Asmodee parts replacement policy change. In acquisition disorders this week, Anthony looks at Tumble Town, a new dice stacking game on Kickstarter now, and Chris looks at the Merlin Deluxe Big Box from Queen Games, the all-in-collection for Stefan Feld’s Merlin. At the table this week, Anthony played Little Town, a light and breezy little resource game that he had a blast playing with his son. Chris (and Anthony) both had a chance to play Trial by…
