On this week’s episode, we’re talking about some of the most relaxing games in the hobby – when it comes to competitive gaming, this batch is at the top for laid back, family-friendly fun…and we’re going to pit them against each other. Anthony, Chris, Daniel, and Drew are all together for Tokaide vs. Takenoko. We’re also discussing some other relatively relaxing games in Fairy Tale, Times Square and Imperial Settlers (with trucks!)

Listen and learn which games you’ll be playing in the weeks to come. At the Table We pulled three games together this week that could not be more…

Get ready for some fireworks on this week’s brand new episode of BGA. Anthony, Chris and Daniel get together to talk about the best games for your lunch hour – small, bite sized games that pack a punch for a good sized group of people. We also wade into the muck of discussing Galaxy Trucker (and the argument that ensues), along with the Star Realms iOS app, Citadels for our Classic review of the week and much more. At the Table Two games hit our table this week and one hit our tablets. The first of the games to hit…

This week is a very special episode – one in which Anthony gets three games he’s been eager to play for a long time to the table. The big spotlight is on Imperial Settlers – the Ignacy Trzewiczek reimagining of The 51st State that has been buzzed about all summer. Learn how the game plays and whether the asymmetrical decks pull off the unique style of resource management, tableau building, and card drafting the gaming hobby has been talking about for months. We’ll also be talking about classic (but unfortunately out of print) Endeavor, Friday the 13th from Reiner Knizia,…
