BGB Podcast #334 – Nothing’s Done It Better

Well, we finally did it. We played CATAN, and it was … good! And then we started wondering, is there anything that’s done quite the same thing that that game is doing? And then that got us wondering how many games there are like that, where it’s genuinely hard to say that nothing has done it better since. And then that got us wondering if, instead of all this wondering, we should record a podcast episode. Before we wander, we talk about Box Two, Catan: Cities & Knights, and An Infamous Traffic.

BGB Podcast #310 – Bob’s Decade Delights

Bob’s back from his trip to 2014, and oh the wonders he’s seen – games that not only were amazing back then, but somehow we’re still talking about today! The counterpoint to our draft of games to last a decade, we’re arguing about the games from ten years ago that are still relevant – BGBBOB style. Before we yearn for our youth, we talk about Cyberion, The Plum Island Horror, and Marabunta.

BGB Podcast #117 – All Decked Out

It’s time for another “What we love, what we hate”, and this time we’re looking at deck builders! Its been twelve years since Dominion blew things up, and since then you don’t have to look very far to see a game that uses the mechanic. We look at the highs and lows of deck building as a mechanic, and discuss some of our favourite games that use it. We also talk about Bruxelles 1897, Elysium, and Can’t Stop.
