BGB Podcast #308 – Fantasy Draft: Games To Last a Decade

It’s back, and it’s spicier, more harrowing, and more lucrative than ever before! It’s the Fantasy Draft, and this time we’re changing things up by asking you not to vote for favourite games, but for the set that you think will still be relevant ten years from now (AKA the far flung future). Vote to stand a chance to win a gift card for one hundred dollars! Before we say things we’ll regret in a decade, we also talk about London (Second Edition), and Spectral.

Make yourself a coffee (sugar’s over there in the corner), it’s not time to sleep just yet.

BGB Podcast #278 – Check Check Check

We’re lucky to have covered wide swathes of the board game world, but there was a time when some of those things were aspirational. Like achievements to cross off on the great board game check list … or like that Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson movie. You know they invented that phrase? Wild. Before we make our list, we talk about Municipium, and Yucatan.

BGB Podcast #260: Top 50 Games of All-Time 2022: 10-1

BGB Podcast #243: We’re on Each Other’s Team

The best thing about being part of a team is even when things go wrong, your team is there for you. And boy, did things go wrong this week … but I’m getting ahead of myself. This week we’re talking about team games! Twice! Before we make the dream work, we talk about Art Decko, Feed The Kraken, and War of the Ring: The Card Game.

BGB Podcast #216: We’re Doing This Together!

Waiting your turn is so 2021.  Simultaneous play is where it’s at now. Fortunately, we got a chance to try A BUNCH of games featuring the mechanism at Dice Tower West! So, before we all hold hands and dive in all at once, we’ll chat about Bear Raid, Loco!, Imperium: The Contention, and Libertalia: Winds of Galecrest.

We’re starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel, and with the exciting possibility of actually being able to play games together again, we cast our minds forward to all the wonderful games yet to arrive in 2021.

BGB Podcast #120 – Light on the Horizon

We all need something to look forward to, so this episode we’re eagerly anticipating all the good things in the world of board gaming that are yet to come in 2020.
