This week we talk about our, often unreasonable, expectations of publishers.  From organized play to game inserts, we cover what we all think publishers should do, and why they probably don’t.

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

This week Chris and Fletcher talk about Hadrian’s Wall, a game known as the most complicated Roll and Write ever.  And about them brining it to BGA.  We also talk about a lot of other stuff at the beginning.

This week we find out what happens if we never go on topic.  That something is that we’re all over the place.  Cast-iron cooking. Family gaming. Advent Calendars. TGT Con 2.  And a bit of a bunch of other stuff as well.  In other words, we’re just talking to talk like any other episode 🙂

This week we try and crack the code on how to be casual with your competitive games.  It’s a tricky one because nobody likes losing all the time in head to head match ups.  But are there ways to keep it fun even when you’re not on top?

This week Kitty has lost her voice, so Chris and Fletcher talk about the new craze that is Marvel Snap.  Yes, it’s an app, but it’s very tabletop adjacent.  Is this just another Wordle fad, or is there some real meat in this game.

This week talk playing games competitively, like tournaments and such, vs causally where you still want to win but you may not want to compete.  This is a tough topic to nail down, so we’re not likely to enter a podcast tournament anytime soon, but if we did… we’d probably come in somewhere in the middle.

This week talk about going through phases.  Eventually we even talk about phases in gaming.  Not the phase you take during a turn.  The phases of what games we like and then stop liking and maybe start liking again.  You know, phases.

This week Fletcher is back but now Kitty is out.  So Chris and Fletcher talk money.  Specifically money spent on hobbies.  More specifically money spent on games.  Is this another intervention for Chris?  Maybe, kind of one he’s doing for himself…

This week Fletcher forgets he does a weekly podcast and Kitty and Chris talk about how you may, or may not, cut your collection down to a fixed number of games.  Successful?  Maybe, maybe not, but Chris does seem to come away ready to make some hard cuts to his collection.

This week Chris makes us talk about game theory stuff again.  We look at what the game loop is, the different levels you find them, and why they matter.  Also we had a special guest show up for a minute.
