One of our all time favorite segments is back with “If you like, try…” This month we’re looking at one of our favorite games of all time (which made the top 10 in our recent Top 100 list) – Terra Mystica. Anthony, Chris, Daniel, and Drew each pick three games that match one of their favorite parts of the game as recommendations for games you might like if you also like Terra Mystica. Acquisition Disorder Corner After several months, we have a massive backlog of games we want to talk about in our acquisition disorder corner. Anthony kicks things off…

Since joining the BGA team two years ago, Daniel has contributed countless games to At the Table and our feature reviews. Below is a full list of all of Daniel’s favorite games, comprising his Top 50 Games of All Time.

We made it! To celebrate Episode 100 and a milestone I don’t think any of us thought we’d hit, we’ve put together a list of our Top 100 board games of all time.

Please let us know which games you are excited made it on the list, and which you would…

Last year we put together a Top 50 list to commemorate our 50th episode. It was a lot of fun and a lot of work, and because I was off attending the birth of my second child, I had minimal say in how that list turned out. Fortunately, Chris and I are of similar minds and it looked pretty good, but there were a fair number of games I would have included in that list had I been there – so I figured why not create my own list. Furthermore, this year we’re going to be sitting down and each…

For the sheer volume of “trading in the Mediterranean” games out there, it’s surprising that only a handful have tackled the well-documented travels of one of history’s most famous traders – Marco Polo. He wasn’t first to China, nor was he the wealthiest, but over the course of his 24 years traveling between Europe and Asia, Marco Polo recorded countless tales of his travels, including the men he traveled with, the men and women he met on his travels, and everything he found in medieval China. And despite Netflix’s best efforts to convince us to the contrary, it was pretty…

About a year ago, we did something a little different. We pitted 64 games from the BoardGameGeek Top 100 list against each other in a battle royale tournament to determine the best of the best. That tournament was a blast. Held over the course of three episodes and with votes from you, the listeners, the winner was eventually crowned, Dead of Winter. This year, we wanted to do it all again, but with a bit of a twist. Rather than pulling from the same list we used last year (the BGG Top 100), we decided to focus only on games…

A year ago, Chris and Drew sat down to make predictions for 2015. Some of those predictions turned out nearly spot on (including some that were mocked by several members of the BGA team), and some did not. This year we’re doing it again, but not before we run through the predictions for last year and see what happened, what didn’t, and what was way off base. Then join Chris, Anthony, Drew, and Daniel to review 16 new predictions for the coming year. Scoring our 2015 Predictions Before we dive into our predictions for 2016, we sit down and discuss…

It’s been one heck of a year for the board gaming hobby and for Board Gamers Anonymous. In a very special Episode 97, we’re taking a look at some of the best games, experiences, and plays of 2015, with a few special twists from each of the hosts.
