This week is 2019s instant classic, Wingspan! I've played a ton of this game since the start of the pandemic, and each time I play it, I learn new birds, try a different strategy, and always ending up learning something about birds along the way. I truly believe there is something about this game that feels like it's for everyone. Wingspan Stan and the Bonemaster guest star! Sadly, Wingspa...

Line em up and knock em down folks. This week is the classic game, from the family of games that provides a staggering player count variability. It's size is versatile, it's ubiquity is present, and none other than the Bonemaster is here to rekindle it. This game has something you may have overlooked. The list thus far:  1. Dominion  2. Catan  3. Chess  4. Wonderland’s War  5. Risk  6. Man...

It's strategy go time! Special Guest John (aka Bott_Bott), who is the creator of Brine and Bunker on Youtube joins Decoy and me for another blast to the past. This one also has an interesting little online client, Stratego.io, which Decoy and John used at the beginning of our taping to get into the right headspace. It's quite the doozy!  For those who may be curious, John did have to leave...

Decoy and I felt opposite on this one...sort of. Its an almost perfect information game, and it's almost good? It may very well depend on a lot of things...where you're from, and if your parents had a briefcase when you were young! Come see.

All the worlds a stage, and we, merely players, of this the world's game. We've got a top 15 after this week! You may not have played this one recently, or even this version, as there are tons and tons of variants. But if you have, theres a chance you haven't looked at it in a while. And spoiler alert....maybe you should! Here's the list so far: Dominion Catan Chess Risk Parcheesi...

Welcome to our first game in a new genre. Deck-builders haven't exploded like some other game genres from the 90s up to today, however, this game's initialization of the genre was such that not many can compete with it. Special Guest JC joins us again this week. If there's been a game on our show we would recommend and we had to pick one, it would be this one. 

We may never have played a game designed for kids so young with such a light theme that is actually dark...like, dark dark. Dang. This game. Get in here. Special Guest Bott Bott, who just released his new Youtube channel, Brine and Bunker.

It's our oldest game to date, and one that's near and dear to my heart, and the heart of Engamer1331, who runs a youtube channel, and is an architect and designer! Co-host Decoy and I have a great time this week with our newest guest, and dear friend. And we talk an oldie...AND A GOODIE. Come hang with the oldest game you probably didn't remember or know about that's actually worth...
