 Unfortunately you do not get to pass go or collect $200. However, you can tune into our podcast. On this episode of All Things Nerdy with Nathan Walker and Joseph Jewell we have a very special guest Dustin Wessel. He knows that board games are much more than just cardboard and pieces. His core memories are tied to board games, from playing classics like Monopoly and Risk with family, to discovering gems like Pandemic and Forbidden Island that can tell stories, evoke responses, and even evolve discussion.

When it comes to favorite games, Dustin has his go-to titles like Parks, Unfair, Tapestry, Wingspan, and Mystery Express. But for him, it's not about the game itself, but who he's sharing his time with. He believes that playing a middling game with amazing people is far better than crushing jerks in an amazing game.

If you're new to the board game scene, don't worry, Dustin has got you covered. He knows that the best way to introduce someone to games is to match their interests or style with a game. Did you like Monopoly as a kid? Try Big Shot. Do you like card games? Maybe start with Wingspan or something simpler like Skyjo. Never played a game before? Co-op games like Forbidden Island or Pandemic are a great place to start.
