TGT On Topic 236: Crowdfunding

This week we look at the crowdfunding (Kickstarter and Gamefound) in it’s current state, we then talk about what we look for in a campaign and why we might pass on a campaign.  And finally we try and figure out why some gamers, Fletcher, just aren’t into crowdfunding in any way.

We don’t actually get into the future of crowdfunding as we promise at the beginning of the episode – but spoiler alert, it’s only getting bigger.

TGT On Topic 234: Rules as Written

This week we talk about the rules.  As they are written.  You know, the game because the game are the rules.  As written.  But when is it ok to ignore the rules as written?  Chris says whenever you want.  Other people (everyone?) disagree and say, “Play it right or don’t play it at all!” – who’s right?  Chris ofcourse.  (hmm, I wonder who writes these notes, and can these notes, as written, ever be wrong? No!   Paradox!!!?) OH! If you like our podcast, vote for us here: https://boardgamegeek.com/geekawards/boardgame

And if you want an example of how hard it is to write rules, then this video is the best thing on the internet.  Seriously, just watch it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ct-lOOUqmyY

Oh, and watch this too, because, you need to smile more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U74wUO54Sdg
