April 30, 2026 11:15pm 59 min

Episode 80 - who'da thunk it? Thank you so much for sticking with us over (gulp) almost eight years of our nonsense. (Don't do the math - lots of two-part episodes have ruined that.)  This month, we take a deep dive into...

Episode 79.2 - Sandbox Games, Part 2

April 01, 2026 8:00am 52 min

We're back to wrap up our discussion on "sandbox games," and this part stretches the definition a bit; there's at least one game here where it's not the map that's bigger than you can explore in one game, but the rule se...

March 01, 2026 8:46pm 49 min

February 01, 2026 11:44am 1:10

Episode 75 Part 2 - Computer Games to Board Games

November 01, 2025 6:32pm 1:19

Episode 75 - Computer Games to Board Games, Part 1

October 01, 2025 11:00am 1:06

Yes, we're back again, this time to talk about board games that were converted from computer games. Some of them are excellent...some are just cash grabs. Listen on to find out which is which! Also, if you want to make t...

Episode 74 - Richard Garfield Deep Dive

September 01, 2025 6:34pm 1:00

An episode without Frank? But what about all the history? Well, thankfully, history in this case starts in around 1993, with the publication of Magic: The Gathering, because we're reviewing the career of its designer, Ri...

Why hello there! This month is the first part of our discussion about the wonderful world of trick-taking games, starting with the old classics and covering the first part of their resurgence in the 1990s. The rest of th...

Episode 72 - Games With a Message

June 01, 2025 8:29pm 1:15

Welcome back, everyone! This month we're talking about games with a social or political message. It's not JUST because it's Pride Month in the USA, and it's not JUST because tariffs are currently wreaking havoc on the en...

Episode 71.2 - Role-Playing Games, Part 2

May 01, 2025 7:16pm 1:13

We're back, and so is Brian's voice! And we simply have to tell you about a bunch MORE role-playing games that have interesting mechanics.  We talk about games where characters don't trust each other, or perhaps do but ...

Episode 71- Role-Playing Games, Part 1

April 01, 2025 4:23pm 1:10

I know, I know, we said we weren't going to do the Ascent of Role-Playing Games thing. And we're not! But there ARE a bunch of role-playing games that have some interesting mechanics, and we're going to be talking about ...

Episode 70 - Auction Games

March 01, 2025 6:50pm 1:01

Episode 69 - Sex Games

February 01, 2025 10:27am 1:20

This is episode 69. We're discussing sex games. We're sorry. (Except Joe...Joe isn't sorry at all.) Sandi has joined us to try to provide a little bit of maturity to the topic; we'll let you decide if she succeeded. This...

Episode 68 - Looking Ahead to 2025

January 01, 2025 11:55am 56 min

December 01, 2024 4:11pm 1:35
