    16: Late to the Party
    Nov 2 2025
    Breaking: good games are good. Celebrated classic Tae (Tae_Eat_Tea) joins us to discuss the beloved, time-honored, essential games we're only now discovering. Alba reunites with a childhood love. Kenan makes Tae Bin his darlings. Then we spend equal time salivating over sleek second editions and and defending some unlovely originals. After Tae abandons us, our loyal rabble guide us through the wilderness. Discussed: point-and-clicks, Underwater Cities, Anno 1800 and sprawling productions, Obsession and consumer-focused production, the word of the day, Castles of Burgundy and user-unfriendly production, the importance of board game aesthetics, Newton vs. Darwin's Journey, Parks v1 vs. v2, planning ahead, competitive spouses and victory portraits, a theoretical second edition of Grand Austria Hotel, welcoming newcomers with foxy games, The Hundred Years War and the 18 Rounds of Orleans, games that get more thematic over time, Quacks, Monks Gone Wild, Altiplano and deckbuilding vs. bagbuilding, seamlessly harmonized ludic systems, availability and price, Franz revisiited, Agricola, enjoying the punishment, Franz vs. Awaken Realms, exploring vs. winning, where to send your comments and complaints, A Feast for Odin, learning from the greats, Shackleton Base and when something becomes a classic, Keyflower, Lacerda Pronunciation Guide, Caverna, Ticket to Ride expansion maps, the lure of Acquire, GOATed Alba, the best Carcassonne configuration, Bunny Kingdom, White Castle, Splendor, Lost Ruins of Arnak, the party and the afterparty and the enduring appeal of the classics. Party On.

    15: Game as Directed
    Jul 20 2025
    Sometimes your friends know what's best for you. Don't argue. Alba investigates the sepia-filtered nostalgic appeal of adult gaming. Kenan subjects a ravenous Alba to a round of Random Name Generator. Alba subjects you to attempted baseball metaphors. Then we report on our experiences with games we forced one another to play, and solicit further recommendations from the Rabble. Discussed: Grand Austria Hotel, Klemens Franz, Cafe culture in the Viennese Modern Age, The White Castle and games with tight action economies, rubber banding and bowling bumpers and good first experiences, games that grow on you, Taverns of Tiefenthal, Orléans, Quacks (of Quedlinberg), strategy and push-your-luck games, risk aversion and making your father proud, giggling as you bust, uninviting UI for welcoming games, accessibility and the Quacks revamp, Games that isolate single mechanisms, Oracle of Delphi and grail games, TI4 birthday bashes, Nemo's War and dancing with oneself, Tir Na Nog or possibly Hog, River Valley Glassworks, Vindication and too many choices, Fairy Rings, Dale of Merchants and too many choices, Mesos, Rebel Princess and frog princes, Concordia and analysis paralysis, head-to-head vs. private puzzles, Groundhog Day, Alchemists and app assistance, Underwater Cities, After Us and trash talk, Faraway and making the most of the hand you're dealt, Last Bastion and exceptions revisited, Fire Tower and competitive marriages, Kodachi and deckbuilding, Earth and overabundance, Euchre, Endeavor Deep Sea and the Dharma Initiative, and what to play next. Do as you're told.

    Bonus: Rolling Reggie's Mid-Year Board Game Tag
    Jul 8 2025
    We interrupt our regularly scheduled takes for a barrage of micro-takes in response to a recent Rolling Reggie video. We discuss the games that have surprised and delighted us in the first half of 2025, and tag our cherished chusma to do the same. I can still hear you saying you would never break the never break the chain. Bass solo.
