Board Game Point of View

Well, ladies and gents… this is the end. What a run we have had over the past 3+ years! We hope you have enjoyed the journey just as much as we have. Thank you all so much for your support and for your interest in our little group of board game enthusiasts. So saddle up and join us for one last episode as we ride off into the sunset.

Games Discussed: All the Games!

Shot Outs: To all who contributed to making this podcast the fun and enriching experience it has been.

“Millennial Apartment Hunters is a satirical descriptive horror game created by James D’Amato of the One Shot Network designed to combine HGTV’s House Hunters with the harsh economic dystopia faced by young people trying to live in major cities.”

Join the boys as they navigate the horror of millennials encountering the real world. If you would like to play this game with your friends, you can download it at Drive Thru RPG. We love this game and play it all the time! It’s a perfect introduction to role playing and something to which everyone can relate.

Legendary heroes, mutinies on the high seas and towns positively overrun with the walking dead are all things you can expect to hear on a special, two man Episode 49. To start the show, Steven and Adam embark on a quest of obscurity as they dive deep into the games contained within the bowels of Board Game Geek…. eventually unearthing a lesser known game from a notable designer. They then talk about a slew of news surrounding BGPOV’s favorite game studio*, Plaid Hat Games. Adam talks about a deck builder that is rocking his world, Steven asks an artistic questions and the show wraps up with a look forward to Episode 50!

We run through the winners of the Dice Tower Awards! Did all games deserve their dice towery accolades? We will give you the definitive opinions on all these games and many more. Also… Steven talks about some of the cuter things in BGPOV history (including a bedtime randevu with another member of the cast), Seth proclaims his allegiance to the Celtic nation and Adam pines for the ocean breeze as he brings to the table one of the most casual themes to any board game the crew has ever seen. So prepare yourself for a freaking adorable podcast filled with banter about endearing artwork, small wooden bits and the softer side of the apocalypse.

It’s award season everyone, and the crew is talking Game of the Year, Origins and more. With so much board game and conversion news happening… Steven is wondering if hype will propel some games to the top of people’s lists, Seth continues to disagree with the hype surrounding a game of the year award winner and Adam continues to champion the imaginations of children. The boys then take a float down the Nile to discuss an award contender from the past set in ancient Egypt.

In this cooperative game special, the crew dares to venture into the nightmarish world of Arkham Horror and dives deep into the unknown to explore a kickstarter project that may just have you and your friends wondering where you put the dynamite. Steven’s creeping leads to an unexpectedly pleasant encounter at church, Seth puts his best foot (and apparel) forward at the local career fair and Adam drops an announcement about an upcoming adventure that takes place in a galaxy far, far away.

A couple of Brunos invade the podcast with two very different games. One has the boys building quaint little kingdoms with all the pleasantries that serfdom can afford, and the other… well, we’ll just call it the game that shall not be named. Seth gives us the rundown of his recent conquest during 12 hours of interstellar combat, Steven has his worst fears realized at the hands of Steve Avery and Adam introduces his young brood to the joys of role playing. The crew also talks about the ups and downs of public humiliation and then returns to an old mansion to crack an unsolved murder mystery. What games did we like? Which will we probably not play again? And who can’t stop channeling the spirit of an overzealous disco king? Tune in to find out!
