We used to have guests on this podcast quite regularly. Then we didn't. Such are the vagaries of life. But sometimes. Sometimes you run across someone who's artistic vision is so pure and unsullied that you simply must invite them onto your podcast so that you can shove them back towards the mainstream, and crush any artistic joy they once had. Our guest this episode is the wonderful Taylor Reiner, who is the creator of the "Taylor's Trick Taking Table" You Tube channel that focuses on trick taking games from around the world. Taylor is also a rising star in game design and development, with two games currently published, Short Zoot Suit and Of What's Left. Also soon to release is Seer's Catalog from Bezier Games. On this episode we discuss:  Social Security Numbers Goulash Fast talkers Bagels Ice cream But mostly goulash  As a bonus, Taylor and I include a top 3 for Dan's benefit. It's called, "Top 3 Games for People who are Fightened and Confused by Trick Taking Games".

Episode 106: Fauxgels, Goulash and the (Taylor) Reinerssance

Dan and I are known for our encyclopedic knowledge of most things in life. Board games? Sure. Puddings? Absolutely. Mechanical Engineering? Obviously. What many people don't realize is that we are also experts in AI technology and the societal and moral implications therein. Well, after this episode, there will be no question. Honorary Doctorates will assuredly be forthcoming. In addition to that, in this episode we also cover:  "Horse or Human": Dan's new game show, soon airing on Netflix, with host Carrot Top. Minecraft: The new hotness. Mr. Beast: King of Tik-Tok Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson: A very real boxing match. The Luddite Movement: Rage Against the Machine. AireCon and Dice Tower West  Whew. That's most podcast's content for an entire year. Our generosity knows no limits.

Episode 104: The Mike Dilisio AireCon, also with The Dice Tower

Can it be so soon? It seems like only 2 months ago that a Sporadically Board episode came crashing through the Internet to wash over your earholes in a soothing wave. Well, it's true. We're back, and we come to you with a MAJOR EXCLUSIVE ANNOUNCEMENT!  You, our beloved listeners, are being given a worldwide exclusive announcement before it gets revealed to the teeming masses of the ignorant. You, just by virtue of having impeccable taste in podcasts, will be able to tease, infuriate, and frustrate your friends and loved ones by withholding this major announcement and holding it over their heads like an informational Sword of Damocles. If that wasn't enough, we also discuss such hot button topics as:  The Suffragette Movement David Bowie The flu and bronchitis The Dice Tower Cruise Rat infested cottage vacations Sean, Ronan and Mike vs. Dan, Matthew and Richard in a steel cage death match  ...and so much more!  All of this, plus A Few Acres of Rubbish. Here is the incredibly long link to the Cora Quest: Keep on Questing! contest discussed in the episode:  https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd3oepo754SX-k751DmlhuMMZGFQgUx7RMVPkTneupsVggCfQ/viewform?fbclid=IwAR1pSxDv5oIPpyp5EJpLLneqCe41oNhGXdQ32nEHH5LjRQPHJeNqprKIfA4

Episode 103: Cross Coastal Con Chat: Including a MAJOR EXCLUSIVE ANNOUNCEMENT!

This episode was DEMANDED by the entire Board Game Snobs Community, and let me tell you, that guy was super annoying. Gaby and Jerry join us to talk about... ...honestly I have no idea. We played a couple of game shows, one by Dan and one by Jerry.  We talked about Jerry living in an area known primarily for death. We proposed ridiculous insurance claim scenarios for Gaby. Dan talked about windshield screens, whatever those are. I'm sure I talked about stuff. Also, Jerry got progressively more affected by all the Kentucky Derbys. All this, plus we almost talked about board games. Co-Starring: A Few Acres of Rubbish. With Special Guest Star: Ricardo Montalban
