This week we take a look at the idea that you should (or shouldn’t) play older games you may have missed because they are icons of the genre. Or maybe because everyone says they are “great” (even though they may not play it anymore themselves). Or maybe because you want more gamer cred. Or maybe you shouldn’t bother with the classics and just play good games… ?

This week we talk about the pros and cons of generic settings.  Turns out much of the conversation is around generic fantasy, but we do manage to get some other setting in there as well.

This is our first designated feedback episode, and we had a lot of fun with it.  We have a lot of feedback on Euro games, great stories about gaming at work, and even a few addition to why we buy games.

In this episode we’re live at GenCon 2018 so we are opening this topic up to the audience to talk about the different reasons we buy games. Is it art? A designer you like? Theme? Components? Price? We’re going to talk about all of it.
