We love giving games as gifts, so we figured why not make a podcast talking about just that. We have different price brackets and different types recipients to help find something that matches your needs. We had to remove A LOT of games from this list to get it to fit into under 90 minutes! So know that we really made the list shorter, just not that short ;) We thank you for listening to us ramble...

Darwin's Journey is the game we are discussing this time and let me tell you (SPOILER ALERT) it is amazing!

Darwin's Journey makes worker placement so much more. Find out what we loved about it and (if there is a...

We love Lacerda games. So we thought it was time for us to do a podcast talking about the most recent heavy Lacerda  game. This one is heavy, like a bag of lead heavy.

We hope we did a good enough job for you to want to look into the game yourself. :) Thank you for li...

In Raising Robots you are taking the role of a kid robot inventor and use all the cool things to make any robot your mind can envision, and with a lot of duct tape you can envision a bunch! With the action selection, resource management and simultaneous play you accumulate poi...

Sanssouci, the game of making nobles stroll through various different landscapes.  Well that may be a bit of over simplification BUT you do do that!  Seriously this game is a great tile laying game, that in our opinion is equal part route building.  See if we think this game is a keeper or not.  Thanks, as always, for listening and downloading our podcast :) https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/146...

We are talking about are new favorite 1v1 duel card game.  This game is an engine builder at it's core, with some card drafting mixed in.   This game plays fast like you will be mid way through the game and then in a couple of turns you will be out of life points!  I know this from experience.  Oh and I didn't even mention one of the best parts of the game and that is the art on the card...
