BGB Podcast #5 – It’s Good To Be Kingmaker

Thursday! That’s the day the podcast goes up. No, wait, sorry it’s not, but due to a technical malfunction this one needed a little bit more time in the oven. I think you’ll find that it’s totally worth it.

In this episode, after we talk about our week in board gaming, we look at an always divisive topic in the hobby – kingmaking. That’s when someone who can’t necessarily win a game, still has a lot of sway over which other player might win. What is the responsibility (if any) of the players who can’t win? Is it ever a bad idea to just target Kalen specifically, regardless of the game?
