Jason continues the conversation with Dr. Patrick Rael from Bowdoin College and the Ludica blog on BGG. We discuss the meaning of a historical game, what they are and what they are not, and how games get it wrong. In essence, history games should present counterfactuals. They should allow us to imagine and game out different ways that history could have gone. When a "history" game does not do that...

Dr. Patrick Rael from Bowdoin College and the Ludica blog on BGG rejoins the show to get wonky about history in games!

Jason Furie from Backerkit joins the show to share about an exciting new initiative in crowdfunding! We're used to Kickstarter being the main home for crowdfunded projects.

Famed game designer Bruno Faidutti joins the show for a civil discussion about our different perspectives as gamers and game creators.

Jason is very pleased to share about Puerto Rico 1897 - a new story for the classic game! This video follows up on the official announcement on a recent BGG Blog. In this short reflection, I discuss the most common piece of critical feedback: the idea that it's bad to play a "bad guy" in a game. In short, it's fine to play a bad guy, but it matters how it's done. I think war games have done a bett...

(Jason here) It's a little peculiar, right? In no other hobby, or walk of life, do we say "the teach." But for board gamers, we know exactly what we mean - that necessary time before any new game that we need to spend in order to have our fun. I give a theory on why we say "the teach", drawing from my background in psychology and communication. I think it's great, and I fully support playing with...

Heads up, One Stop Coop Shop fans! This episode will cover an RPG Adventure book, rather than a board game. The reason we are running it here is for adventure and dungeon crawler fans - let's see new stuff!
