Lenin famously said, “Trust is good, control is better.” Lennon famously said, “I am the walrus, goo goo g’joob”. In a way, they’re both right. We wrap up the mechanics trilogy with Kalen’s pick, area control. Maybe it’s because we were all raised on Risk, but there’s something universal about seeing a map of...
Do you promise not to tell? You might not have been able to tell after last week, but it turns out … some games … are good. We kick off three weeks of our favourite mechanics in board games with Neilan’s pick, hidden information. Sometimes a game is injected with a lot of intrigue...
Double digits, yo. First, a bit of housekeeping; you might have noticed that it is not Wednesday.

It’s that time of the week! You know what I mean. On today’s pod (the first and last time I call it that), we talk about what we’ve been playing, then we take a long hard look at our collections and our shelves of shame, and figure out what we really need in a...
