We had so much fun talking with Colin about some new FFG games that we invited him to stick around and talk about… some more stuff! We discuss two more adventure board games with large amounts of content and the promise of more to come. First, we talk the Dungeons and Dragons themed card game Dragonfire (0:58), comparing it to its predecessor Shadowrun: Crossfire as well as other similar, very popular games in the genre. Then we tackle the latest festival of miniatures and dungeon adventures that is Massive Darkness (13:05). We close out with a discussion of miniatures in…

A belated Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year to everyone out there! We’re a day late in getting this week’s episode up, but know you’ll appreciate having some extra content to listen to mid-week with the holiday break upon us. Kicking things off this week, we asked you, the listeners, what games they had spent the most hours playing this year. Next up, we dive into our biggest acquisition disorders of the last couple weeks, including the hotly anticipated digital implementation of Lord of the Rings Card Game and Uwe Rosenberg’s newest, Reykholt. Anthony Talks about his recent…

‘Tis the season for… lots of new releases from Fantasy Flight! There’s so much stuff, Jason and Anthony had to call in Colin from the YouTube channel One Stop Co-Op Shop in order to talk about it all. You will hear our usual in-depth coverage of three new, very different releases from FFG. First up, we break down the new Imperial Assault: Legends of the Alliance app (1:30) and let you know our opinion about how it opens up cooperative and solo play for people who already love (or might love) Imperial Assault. Then we cover Fallout (11:40), a more…

Another year, another batch of amazing board games. Chris and Anthony pored over a huge list of 2017 releases (hundreds, you guys!) and chose 25 games they liked above all the rest as the top releases of the last year – some big names and a handful of hidden gems. At the top of the list, each of us chose two games to be our best of the best for the year, with a couple of no brainers and some surprises. Check out the full list and our thoughts on each of these amazing games and why 2017 was a…

It’s here! The full Top 100 People’s Choice Solo Games – 2017 edition! The creator of the list, Kevin Erskine of the 1 Player Guild, was good enough to join us again to talk about the top half of the list. First, we chat about games that dropped off the list entirely. Then we get into some surprises, trends, and a few “best in show” categories among soloists, such as card games, dice games, worker placement, deckbuilding, and others. We also wax poetic about the acclaimed number one game among solo gamers, which is… you’ll have to listen to find…

Chris and Anthony share their top ten 3 player games this week, diving into the board games that play best (or only) with three players. First up, though, we dive into the question of the week, asking everyone out there (including you!), with TI4 released and Eclipse 2E coming next year, what other massive game do you think is due for a major design refresh? Then we dive into this week’s acquisition disorders, including Anthony’s first pass at the new Imperial Assault: Legends of the Alliance app, and Chris’s interest in the newest Cathala game coming next year, Imaginarium. At the…

It is time! Just like we did last year, and just like we will probably do every year going forward, Anthony and Jason sat with Kevin Erskine of the 1 Player Guild on BGG to talk about the People’s Choice Top 100 Solo Games for 2017! Today, we present Part One where we discuss some of the broader trends and themes of the Top 100. Then we get into some commentary about numbers 100 to 51, which you could see live on Kevin’s GeekList: https://boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/233582/2017-peoples-choice-top-100-solo-games-100-71. We were sensitive to spoilers in this episode, so it may seem a bit short.…

Hey everyone. Sorry for the late episode! We had a technical snafu which set us back a few days, but we are back and ready to serve up some more reviews. This time, Anthony and Jason dive back into the universe of card games and talk about some releases that have hit the shelves over the past few months. Superhot: The Card Game (2:00) Hardback (10:02) Finished! (16:44) London (27:20) Aventuria Adventure Card Game (35:19) We hope that you enjoy the episode and also find an option that might make a good, relatively inexpensive gift option for yourself or a…

Chris and Anthony are going old school this week with a rundown of 25 classic board games and their modern, gateway alternatives if you’re trying to convert your friends to something newer. First up, we look at our question of the week, asking you the listeners what game you have equal fun losing as winning. Next up, we hit the acquisition disorders. Anthony talks about Mac Gerdts’ Transatlantic, and Chris touches on Tripods & Triplanes, the new elseworlds take on Wings of Glory from Ares Games. At the table this week, the guys review The Masters’ Trials: Wrath of Magmaroth…
