This week, we head straight into the discussion and continue on to our longest episode yet. Our regular episodes will always try and be in that 45-60 minute range and we just barely tipped over this time. But we had a great time talking about old favourites, new reinterpretations, games that caught us entirely by surprise, and even accidentally kind of putting the same game on Table, Shelf, or Trade. Hope you enjoy it!

We're settling in and we're back to talk more board games. This week we each brought more games to talk about than the previous episodes, we torture Scott with an abstract area control game, introduce a new rotating segment, and have a guest baby at the end.

We decided to launch, and release our main episodes, on Tuesdays. So in the spirit of still providing content when we promised it. here's the first of a series that Scott and I will be embarking on. We're going to have discussions about the games that helped form us both as gamers and as people. This one was particularly close to my heart and so I hope you enjoy it! We'll see you with Episode 1 on Tuesday!

Our Episode 0 Supplemental content while we get ready to release the rest of the series. We had a blast talking about our top ten favourite games and hope that you enjoy coming along with us for this. 

Hey hey! Welcome to the BATT Family. In this episode 0, we talk about who we are as hosts, our experience and tastes within the board gaming hobby, and our goals for the pod as a whole. We're so excited you've decided to join us!
