Matt Riddle, designer of Fleet & Wasteland Express Delivery Service, joined BJ & the Krewe to chat spicy hot games plus news about his new publishing company with co-designer, Ben Pinchback, called Motor City Gameworks.

Matt gave us some news about his upcoming Kickstarter project for Three Sisters, a roll and write with art from Beth Sobel that will definitely appeal to fans of Fleet: The Dice Game.

Next up, they talked about spicy hot games they have all played, including:

• Fleet: The Dice Game

Then stick around for another exciting Gumbo Live! board game, a new one we call "Board Game Bataille" with special guest Dan Patriss from the Geek All Stars. With Dan and Matt on the show, you could smell the hate drafting in the roux from here!

BJ was supposed to be chatting with Tim Virnig of Thunderworks Games, but how about that Year 2020, folks!  Luckily for BJ, Verla & Steve were ready to pick up the pieces of this debacle and throw cold water on the dumpster fire. 

So yeah. You'll hear a shift after the first minute, and I apologize in advance for the sound quality (just on my mic, fortunately). 

Anyway.... Verla & Steve and BJ chat about:

• the new one from Formal Ferret Games, High Rise;

Maybe it really should be called Verla Live!

Thanks for listening!

The Krewe of Board Game Gumbo chats with Daryl Chow (from Origame) and Josh Cappel (from Burnt Island Games) during their big Kickstarter for In Too Deep. BJ digs the theme: players will "hack" into the minds of cyber enhanced criminals and try to bring down The Syndicate. But if they get too corrupted -- "in too deep" -- they risk losing it all. It is out on Kickstarter from Burnt Island Games.

They also chat about some of the recent hot games Daryl and BJ have played:

• Remember Our Trip

Finally, the Name Father is back and only 22% distracted by the Islanders deep run into the playoffs. Steve is focused tonight on The Envie Game -- Daryl & Josh have picked one game together that they have the envie to play. Had Steve and BJ done their usual homework, instead of worrying about hockey and hurricanes, they might have picked this one up pretty easily, but instead, there is a shocking twist ending!

BJ chats with Shawn and Molly with plenty of questions from the Chat Krewe about CASCADIA and CALICO! Cascadia is designed by Randy Flynn and out on Kickstarter next month, and Calico is designed by Kevin Russ and being reprinted by AEG.  Beth Sobel provided amazing art for both! 

Finally, Verla, Steve & BJ challenge Molly & Shawn in the ENVIE Game. It may be the first time that two guests had the same game in mind! There was a lot of chatter from the Chat Krewe, including questions from Beth Sobel, a surprise guest in the chat!
