Meeple, Myself, and I

I think this is the antepenultimate episode of the Top 100!

I have spent all of my efforts making sure that I used antepenultimate correctly, so that's all I have to say here.

I'm a big, dumb idiot who can't post podcasts correctly. Pushing this through the feed one more time so people can see that it came out TODAY and not a month ago! Sorry for the extra traffic, y'all, …

We get ever-closer to the Top 15, and then... the Top 10! 

eeeeeeeep

I adore these games. Sure, they have their warts, but they're... they're my warts?

I don't know what I'm saying here, thank you fo…

It's been a bit since I've done an episode! But I don't want that time to keep stretching out, even when I'm out of town. So I put together a short little episode here on the 2022 horror film "Smile"…

Introducing a new kind of episode to the podcast!

"Call and Response" episodes will feature essays by content creators, publishers, designers, and others around the industry, and then I'll intrude an…

Is this... anything?

Should I do more of this?

Do let me know!

Five more games!

Five really good games!

Does anyone read these!

Is this an exercise in futility!

Someone help me!

Getting back in that every-other-week-posting groove! In this episode, I slow down and just look at five in this episode: #s 40-36. I don't own most of these games any more, sadly, but I do playthrou…

It's been a hot minute since the last full episode -- thanks to y'all for your patience. I'm excited to be back in the saddle.

For this episode, I compare one new-to-me game (The Isle of Cats) to #s …

It's been a bit since I've put an episode out. This episode isn't really about board games; it's more about me, the reviewer, and a significant (and painful) event in my life.

So this really just ser…

With the Clockwork Expansion 2 coming out, I thought that it'd be a great time to take a look at my old review of Root (and the first Clockwork Expansion). With both of these expansions out, solo pla…

We take a short break from the Top 100 solo games I've reviewed for something a bit different.

In honor of a weekend full of board games with friends, I'm taking a quick break from exclusively lookin…

This episode review features a giveaway! I'm partnering with Stone Valley Games to give a copy of Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition to one listener of this podcast. Check out this link to enter to w…

Onto the next batch of games in my Top 100! These games are... uh... y'know... they're... they're fine.

In this episode, I look at another 20-ish games and spend some time thinking about what makes t…

A short review of a short game! In this episode, I give some thoughts on the roguelike solo card/dice game Mini Rogue, a game that has gotten quite a bit of buzz in the solo community.

The most obvio…

Over the last five years, I've reviewed 100 games. This episode kicks off a big ol' series/retrospective on all of the games I've ever reviewed.

And... you have to start somewhere, so we'll go throug…

Happy 2022!

In this shorter, unscripted episode, I talk about the fascinating cooperative/solo game called Regicide. It uses just a 52-card deck and builds up a really solid filler cooperative game, …
