It’s meeeeeeeeeee! So if you care to find my top 50 list, look right here. The first twenty incredible games on the list that early critics are calling “surprisingly tasteful” and “delightfully roomy” is finally yours to consume. It’s the greatest board games of all-time, Neilan edition!
As we approach the end of 2024, it’s about time we stop, take stock, and dare I say look back at the year that’s been. The highs, the lows, the mids – all the stars are here, and we’re going to break them down for you with some of our favourite games, and biggest moments, and general assessment of the year that’s been. Before we reflect, we talk about Let’s Go! To Japan, Mombasa, and The Gang.
It’s about people, right? Below all the mechanics, after all the rules explanations, beyond every crushing loss and glorious win, what really matters is people we’re playing with. Some games make that more apparent than others, and we’re here to celebrate that. Before we realize it’s about the friends we made along the way, we talk about Arcs, and Luthier.
We’re in the thick of 2024 now, but there’s still plenty more to come – and with that vast undiscovered country (as my father called it) ahead of us, we have loads of games to look forward to. But not all hype is made equally, so here are the ones we’re most excited about. Before we mark our calendars, we talk about Savage Bowl: Trick Taking Game, Rear Window, and Cuba.
PAX Unplugged was a blast, and we played so much stuff that we’re dying to tell you about – many of them with our beloved listeners. We braved the cold and the rain of Philadelphia, on the other side of the country, to bring you this episode jam-packed with games – so there’s no room for any dilly dallying. Hits include Forest Shuffle, Arcs, Findorff … and loads more!
