Anthony cofounded Board Gamers Anonymous in 2013 and has been on (almost) every episode. Today, he lives in Philadelphia with his family and teaches first year writing at Thomas Jefferson University.
Jordan Shoenberger joins us again this week to discuss being stuck at home…with the kids. Specifically, how it feels to be a parent juggling work, childcare, and school for kids in the midst of a global pandemic. Anthony joins Jason and Jordan as the three discuss what it’s like to be dads in all of this, plus how gaming fits into the equation. If you’re a parent at home with your kids right now, this episode is for you. One Stop Coop Shop Slack – bit.ly/onestopslack BGA Patreon – https://www.patreon.com/bga

We’re back! This week we have a special guest on – the designer of our #1 game of 2019, City of the Big Shoulders: Raymond Chandler III. In our feature, we discuss his influences, favorite games and plans for the future. But first, we read your answers to last week’s question of the week and share a new one, What would you like to see from a digital board game convention?

This week, Jason is happy to pass the host chair to Liz from Beyond Solitaire for two terrific interviews. The first is with David Thompson, designer of various war games including Pavlov’s House, Undaunted, and others. They get into design and other gaming topics, and dip into a bit of Animal Crossing as well. Then, Liz interviews Brady Sadler about good novels to read while sheltering in place. Both of these interviews were originally posted on the Beyond Solitaire YouTube channel – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUbSYmhAlOW1RorV_jXmo2w One Stop Coop Shop Slack – bit.ly/onestopslack BGA Patreon – https://www.patreon.com/bga In Liz We Trust – Veilwraith – https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tristanhall/veilwraith-a-solo-fantasy-quest-game?ref=nav_search&result=project&term=veilwraith
So we’re all at home and that means playing board games online if anywhere. This week we’re looking at the best places to play those games online, with some suggestions based on the types of games available and their costs. But first, we answer the question of the week: What’s the first game you’ll play when the quarantine is lifted? For Acquisition Disorder this week, Anthony looks at a newly announced David Turczi game, Tawantinsuyu: The Inca Empire and Chris discusses the sequel to a little known dungeon crawler, Frosthaven. At the table, Anthony even got a chance to play…
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…
