Episode 23: Flashy Galactic Blueprints

Episode 25: Glassy Parisian Pestilence

Noted marine biologist George Costanza may have ruefully spoken of the sea's anger, but if water wasn't allowed to express its emotions, where would tumbled glass come from? Join us in this episode as we discuss beachcombing, whether to double-down on botanical bets, and the cuddly side of pestilence.

Episode 24: Biblical Elder Zephyrs

Let the record show that this is the episode where Mike comes into his psychic powers! Listen for it sometime after the frog discussion but before Shari repeatedly confesses to enjoying Farmville. This episode, our three board games are Mythwind, Ezra and Nehemiah, and Horror on the Orient Express, but absolutely not in that order.

Episode 23: Flashy Galactic Blueprints

In this episode we skip up the gangplank to the SS Ian O'Toole, sketch out a perfect castle for dairy enthusiasts, and contemplate when the catnip that is legacy gaming becomes litter box lining instead. As always, we discuss three board games: one we're buying, one we're vetoing, and one we've just played.

Episode 22: Arizona Dragon Magnates

We return to the microphones for a fresh season of rabbit holes and roundabouts as we ostensibly discuss board games and the finite nature of Kallax shelving. This episode has jackelopes, sass, and rock tumbling, all in the usual context of three games: one that was added to the collection, one that wasn't, and one that was recently played.
