This week we took a look at what our gaming collections would be if we started fresh with $250.  Well, Chris and Kitty did that.  Josh just went on a spending spree.  This was a fun one, so much fun, that one lucky listener won a $250 amazon gift card to go on a spending spree.

This week Chris, Kitty, and Sydnie  look into what it is to be introverted or extraverted as well as shy and outgoing. They eventually get around to talking about how this applies to gaming as well.

This week Chris, Kitty, Spencer, and Sydnie talk about organized play. From game stores to conventions, RPGs to CCGs, casual to competitive, we cover it all (and miss a lot more). We even go on a few tangents brainstorming ways to use legacy games for organized play…

This week we talk about KeyForge, a “unique” new game from Fantasy Flight Games. Chris is a bit obsessed with it, so of course we have to do full episode on it. But in his defense, it really is a good game and maybe the birth of a new type of game?

We’re back from GameHoleCon and Sydnie and Spencer join us to talk about their experiences gaming with people they’ve never met before.  We cover a lot in a short amount of time, from that quiet player, to inclusiveness, to why it can be the most amazing thing ever to game with new people (it’s why we’re all friends and why Chris will be a father in 3 months).  Oh, and thank you Tim, Michael, Steve, and Kelly (and everyone else we talked with) for the amazing gifts and great experiences.

This week Josh, Kitty, and Chris are back together to talk about promos and exclusives in board gaming.  How do they effect the way we buy and play games?  Are you like Chris who needs everything for his favorite games or like Josh who has nearly no interest at all?  Or maybe you’re like Kitty sitting somewhere in the middle.  Maybe Tabletop Game Talk needs some game promos, what games should we try and sneak ourselves into?

This week we look at replayability in games and how important is it really? What games are more prone to replay and which are not. Are those that aren’t replayable worse games? Probably not. Oh, and we had a ton of input on this one, thank you to everyone and if you want to give us input on our episodes, it’s easy, just go to http://TabletopGameTalk.com/bgg.

We love your feedback, and we have lots of it this week. Much of it is on Managing Your Collection. But we have a fair bit on Cheating and Complicated games as well. And we even start out with a couple on Alpha Players. Oh, and like all our feedback episodes, two people won $50 gift cards!
