We welcome back Adam and Brady Sadler to talk about another big, honking project of theirs from Blacklist Games, Altar Quest! However, instead of a straight-up preview, Jason figured it would be fun to invite the guys on to share their main influences for crafting their newest fantasy Kickstarter project. So, along with Mike Dilisio from Solomode Games, we put together a list of Top Ten Fantasy Tabletop Games. We all made our personal Top Tens, then smushed them together to make an uber list. Spoiler alert: Adam and Brady have a LOT to say about two games that seem…

Welcome back to another episode of Board Gamers Anonymous. This week we’re joined by Jason from Every Night is Game Night to look at the best of the best Game of Thrones board games. First up, we have the winner of this week’s Patreon contest – Brian will be getting a game of his choice from Game Surplus. To kick things off this week, we have a reminisce about the final season of Game of Thrones. Yeah, we have thoughts. Then we dive into the Spiel des Jahres nominees and the Dice Tower awards nominees to discuss what we like,…

We go card game crazy once again in this episode. Jason begins with Tiny Ninjas (5:48), a very small, single deck, card dueling game with chibi ninjas, dice, and an interesting wrinkle on attacking and defending. Anthony then shares about Oh My Goods with the Longsdale expansion that adds a more robust solo mode and a campaign (11:32). Jason then welcomes Nettersplays, Annette Villa, on to the podcast to talk about a personal favorite for both of us, Race for the Galaxy (24:58). It’s easy to walk into that game and get completely smoked by a decent opponent, so we…

Welcome back to another episode of Board Gamers Anonymous. This week we’re looking at some of Anthony’s favorite quick play roll and write games. First up, we have the winner of this week’s Patreon contest – Rico will be getting a game of his choice from Game Surplus. To kick things off, we ask our question of the week, “Are there any games you used to love that have fallen out of favor, either due to a new game taking their place or just your tastes changing?” For our acquisition disorders this week, Anthony looks at Clinic Deluxe and Chris…

We welcome Anthony back to the pod after a short, child-inspired excursion, just in time for some cooperative games! Anthony’s favorite type of game, for sure. First, we get into Fuji (5:05), a unique game from the designer of The Mind. Fuji returns to the concept of limited communication between players, only with dice and a race game feel. We get into reviewing Fuji as well as consider the general question of whether The Mind can truly be considered a “game”. Then, we get into Lord of the Rings: Journeys in Middle Earth (17:55). If you want to hear more…

Welcome back to another episode of Board Gamers Anonymous. This week we’re looking at an all-time great game and some other games you might like if you’re a fan. First up, we have the winner of this week’s Patreon contest – Kyle will be getting a game of his choice from Game Surplus. To kick things off this week, we look at the recent Origin’s Awards nominees. Which games are up for the first awards of the season this summer and what do we think about them? Next up, we review some of the games we’ve been getting to the…

We have some very good family cooperative games for you this week. The first is My First Castle Panic (3:45), the adaptation of Castle Panic that is excellent for your three year old! For the older kids, we share next about Zoo Break (7:21), a family game about recapturing escaping zoo animals with some excellent moments of thematic integration? Finally, we get to one of the big releases from early 2019 – Comanauts (16:04). For our discussion topic, we’re revisiting a conversation Jason had with Dr. Max Davie, a specialist in child psychology, that was posted on the Dice Tower…

We’re live! Kind of. Anthony is in Staten Island this week, so the guys recorded in person, a rarity, and a good excuse to pull together a special episode. First thing’s first, thank you to our newest Patreon Producer, John S. who joins us this week. Congratulations as well to Jordan for winning our weekly Patreon contest. Jordan will receive a game of their choice from Game Surplus. Featured in the episode this week, Anthony looks at Bunny Kingdoms: In the Sky and Chris looks at Takenoko Giant Edition on Kickstarter. At the table this week, Anthony reviews FFG’s new…

Jason climbs back into the solo chair this week to share another very different episode. He chats into two games that are thematic within the recently finished Easter season: the cooperative Kings of Israel (5:50), as well as the worker placement game also set in ancient Israel, Wisdom of Solomon (15:30). For the second half of the episode (24:04), Jason talks about… himself. A lot of folks out there have issues with their mental health. Jason goes into his personal issues with depression, talking about his own experience with it but also explaining some things for folks who might not…

Thank you so much to this week’s new Patreon backer Erik for helping us bring this episode to you. And congratulations to this week’s Patreon contest winner, Peter. This week on the show, we kick things off with our question of the week, What’s your favorite game that is considered very light on BGG (sub-2.0 difficulty rating)? Next up, for our acquisition disorders, we looked at Barenpark: The Bad News Bears and Anachrony: Fractures of Time Expansion and Infinity Box. In our At the Table segment, we looked at Mr Cabbagehead’s Garden and Monster Lands, and finally in the feature, our picks…
