We love a good old game – there are a lot that of games over a decade old that we’d happily sing the praises of, but if we were being brutally honest, how many of them do we think would make it in today’s markets? How much have tastes really moved on since these games were in their prime? Before we let nostalgia get the better of us, we talk about I’m Out, Evenglow, and Trials of Maya.
The people demand takes, so get ’em while they’re hot. We’re weighing in on some possibly bad, certainly edgy opinions, and deciding where we land (spoiler: we’re always right). Before we get heated, we talk about Diplomacy: The Golden Blade, and Cozy Stickerville.
BGBBOB is back, and it’s been long enough that you might need a reminder. Ten game designers enter the ring, and through the arduous process of one vs one battles, we arrive at our (and not just our, but the) definitive ranked list of … these particular designers. It’s science. Before we fight it out, we talk about Iliad, The Old King’s Crown, and Franchise.
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.
