BGB Podcast #332 – Hard Pass!

I would say that, for the most part, there’s very little we won’t play – but we also know what we like, and especially what we don’t like. Every so often a game gets suggested that we have to say “literally anything but” to. Before we pass hard, we talk about TRICKTAKERs, Iquazú, and Hubworld: Aidalon.

BGB Podcast #331 – One Thing I Hate About You

We’ve spent a lot of time over the years singing the praises of the games we love, but they can’t be perfect right? Surely there’s something, one little thing, that bugs us – a small blemish in our otherwise most beloved games? Before we come clean, we talk about Classified Information, Starline Hill, Panda Spin, and SHASN: AZADI.

BGB Podcast #330 – We Played a Load of Games!

We just got back from Dice Tower West, so you know what that means … bunches and bunches of games! Between the convention, and the meetup, and just hanging out at Mark’s place, we got a lot of great stuff played, and we’re going to give you all the highlights, with such treats as Moon Colony Bloodbath, Out of Sorts, and Feierabend.

BGB Podcast #329 – All the Stars Are Here!

I’m not sure why you’d make a hall of fame that’s not also a sidewalk, but that’s exactly what BoardGameGeek have gone and done – they’ve curated 25 games into their hall of fame, and we’re here to judge them for their choices. It’s weird that they didn’t come to us first, honestly. Before we deck the halls, we talk about Arborea, Beyond the Horizon, and Taiwan Night Market.

BGB Podcast #328 – Anticipation Auction: Games of 2025

Okay, pay attention, this is gonna be different! We’re looking at the rest of 2025, deciding what we think the most well received games of the year are going to be – but then we’re going to be bidding on them, auction style. Whoever’s slate ends up performing best in their categories at the end of the year gets all the glory … and if you vote on who you think is going to win, you could get $50! Before we’re going, going, gone, we talk about Nyakuza, Hooky, and Altay: Dawn of Civilization.
