We play board games with our friends and sometimes that makes for interesting stories. Sometimes it also makes for some kind of weird echo. Just kidding, it's the normal kind of echo! We moved the recording stuff into the new studio room but the sound foam (you know, like the professional kind, not the cheap kind we got from a shady website) didn't make it in time to record. Oh well.
We talk about some games that we like with weird themes as well as talking about a few games with player elimination (a thing we normally do not like!) in this half and half episode. Once again, Jared is sick, and once again, a cat is screaming the entire time. We also talked about Japanese Kit-Kats for half of this episode, so make sure you check in at the 41 minute mark for that.
We looked at the super lengthy list of games dropping as Essen Spiel and revisited some old episode topics.
We might do more episodes like this where we drop the themed episodes. Is that cool with you guys? We'll
probably do it anyway but I'd at least like to hear some feedback.
We didn't have a theme to tie this episode together but we played a bunch of random games, so let's talk about that! We really got carried away with talking about some of these, and there is, as always, a cat meowing loudly during random parts of the episode. Oops!
Sometimes expansions help breathe new life into games, other times they make a game actually playable. Other times they just add some cool new bling to the game!
This episode we're talking about the cool stuff we bought at Gencon, or wanted to buy but couldn't because it was sold out already. And, as always, a 15 minute discussion on cereal.
Humans have been travelling since before Elon Musk brought electric cars to outer space. Trains, planes, automobiles, zeppelins, uh... horses? We're gonna talk about them all in this episode!
I really wanted to do more games that only have you farming points or cubes or whatever but I thought that was too meta and not at all what we were even going for with this one!
