Board Game Gumbo Live!

It’s another Twitch Tuesday in the Gumbo Pot! This time, Jeremy and Doug stop by to play Pirates of Maracaibo and Schrodinger’s Cat, which you can find on our Twitch and YouTube channels. But before they get to playing the games, they have to chat about the news that came out today — it’s Spiel nominations time! The krewe chat about their experiences playing all of the Spiel and Kennerspiel nominations: Kenner:  Endeavor Deep Sea, Faraway and Looooot Spiel des Jahres: BombBusters, Flip 7 and Krakel Drakel Until next time, laissez les bon temps rouler!

Gumbo Live! welcomed in Josh Ballagh, designer and publisher of Coalition: Councils of the Republic, which is hitting Kickstarter this summer! Josh is also one of the co-heads of our awesome GEAUXPUB section at Southern Board Game Fest, and we chatted about the successful con! Then we chatted up the history of Coalition and how it came from Josh’s days in school to now. Plus, we played a game live with the Chat Krewe!

Jerod and I opened up a new box on Twitch — the kickstarter preview copy of The Pirate Code — and once we finished, we started chatting about our top games played at Southern Board Game Fest 2025 in beautiful downtown Lafayette, Louisiana!   Laissez les bon temps rouler!

Gumbo Live! welcomed in Rob from www.theboardboyspodcast.com [http://www.theboardboyspodcast.com] and Logan from the Acadiana Board Gamers Discord to chat about everything SoBo2025! (But only after we got in a BEAUX-NESS episode with Beau from the Board Boys).  That’s right, the krewe is back from another successful Southern Board Game Fest in beautiful downtown Lafayette, Louisiana.  We chatted about the top games checked out of the Library, Hot Games, and Play-to-Win sections, then moved on to our spicy hot games:  * Sardegna * Endeavour: Deep Sea * Shackleton Base * Automania * The Gest of Robin Hood And many other games!  Laissez les bon temps rouler!

Before we wrapped up the night, we continued our quest to come up with the perfect board game quiz with the guest. This time, it’s all about the world of movie themes.
