This week Chris has decided that we should step back from the table  and move to the couch/computer where we’ll play some online role playing games.  We cover some history of the games as well as the history of the hosts with these games.  There is even an attempt to relate MMORPGs with tabletop games.

This week we follow up on last weeks conversation and talk about the OLD games we still play.  Old being more than 20 of course.  Because that’s old for a board game.

This week Chris and Kitty recap their TGT Con 2 and then (eventually) talk about how gamifying real life can backfire.  This conversation is based on the Rule Breaker Investing podcast and a conversation with a philosophy professor C. Thi Nguyen.  If you want to listen to that podcast you can find it here: https://www.fool.com/podcasts/rule-breaker-investing/2023-02-15-from-twister-to-twitter-games-and-c

This week Chris is making us talk about Marvel United.  People seem to like it, but is that just because it’s Marvel?  Maybe it’s over hyped? Or is there more there then appears from the outside.  And this episode contains a significant first for someone…

This week we’re talking about how random setups in games can have unexpected consequences along with adding replay-ability and variability to our games.  And how this varies with competitive and co-op games.

This week Kitty is back, with some heavy news and a lighter topic.  Don’t worry it’s all good stuff.  We’re talking about filler games!  And why they tend to be dismissed within the hobby as something you don’t build a game night around.  But maybe we should give them a chance at the spotlight?  Or not.

For when it matters, Kitty won and she liked it.  It’ll make sense at the end.

Some people love it, some hate it, we talk about it.  What are the different ways games can using wagering (betting) in games and how does it change the focus of the game.  Could adding wagering to more games level the playing field between player levels by shifting the victory condition include more of knowing who is going to win and not just winning yourself?

We’re back from the holidays and we talk all about our break.  And we talk about Great Western Trail.  And we talk about TGT Con 2.  And despite all that, it still seems like an off-topic episode.  A fun, off-topic, episode.

Last week we looked back at 2022, this week we look forward to 2023.  What games are we most looking forward to?  In Chris’s case, what Kickstarter is he most looking forward to backing?  And even though this was recorded moments after our last episode, we somehow find some banter about something that happened between episodes.

Reminder our next tournament that starts on Dec 27th, so go to the Discord to find the signup link.

This week we look back at the games we played in 2022.  What did we play the most?  Why?  Do games on BGA count?  (Of course they do!) And why, after 316 episodes, do we still flub the beginning of the show.  And more importantly, why after 316 episodes does Chris not fix our flubs in editing!?
