We’ve all been travelling about so much recently (some of us may or may not still be) that we often find ourselves asking, “what games should I pack?” Some games are better suited for playing on the go than others, and we’re going to get to the heart of what makes a good travel game. Before our arms get tired, we also talk about Regicide, Golem, In the Shadow of Atlas, and DroPolter.
If you’ve ever been a board game host, then you know it’s not always just about playing games, it’s about creating lasting memories for everyone playing. We’d never leave that to chance though, so of course we’re often going out of our way to make a board game experience memorable. Before we do the unforgettable, we talk about Khôra: Rise of an Empire, Dune: Betrayal, and Santa Maria.
A new list of a hundred games to draft, and it only gets harder and harder. We’re each picking a standalone collection of five games in a snake draft format.

What you put in is what you get out. BGB listener Aaron put in a great idea for a podcast topic, and what he gets out of it is … well that’s for him to determine. I’m sure we’ve all been in a situation where, as the newcomer to a game, we get crushed...
$20 can’t buy you love, but it can buy you Love Letter. And we sure do love the letter that BGB listener Layne sent us to inspire this week’s topic! What games can you get for $20? Quite a few really good ones, it turns out. While the allure of big box games with...
