Board With Finns episodes:

February 25, 2023 Do Androids Dream of Living Card Games? - Ep7
In this cyber-niche episode of Board With Finns we enter the neo-noir world of Android Netrunner. One of our favourite asymmetric living card games that pits plucky hackers against faceless and soulless corporations. Is 90% of this episode devoted to listing names of specific cards that no sane normal person has heard of?.... Yes, yes it is. Don't blame us - we are just obsessed. "The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed".

February 15, 2023 How Do You Want To Do This? - Ep6
In this professional episode of Board With Finns, we discuss how the professionals do it! What are our favourite RPG streams and what do we steal from them? Is Critical Role the king of the hill? Is Brennan Lee Mulligan our favourite Lee Mulligan? Did anyone else watch Wildcards or was it just Tom? Most importantly, is inspiration the same thing as theft? - Perhaps!

February 05, 2023 Cthulhu and Hastur and Arkham, Oh My! - Ep5
On a dark New England street, we find a lost figure, huddled under rags, fighting for warmth from the cold existential nightmare of cosmic insignificance.... it's Bo! With our special guest tucked neatly by a microphone we discuss our impressions of the Call of Cthulhu RPG and try to understand Tom's deep seated issues with only running horror RPGs. Strange is the night where black stars rise, And strange moons circle through the skies, But stranger still is Board With Finns.

January 26, 2023 The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Deadlands RPG Chat - Ep4
On this bone chilling episode we discuss one of Tom's favourite RPG settings: Deadlands! Horror in the Weird West - No Will Smith, but plenty of skin walkers, knife spiders, and things trying to crawl down your throat while you sleep. Need a change from Dungeons and/or Dragons? Then is the american frontier the place for you? Let's discuss!

January 15, 2023 Cute Animals, Platonic Solids, and Crippling Hangovers - Ep3
In our most hungover and rambling episode yet, we discuss cute games with cute animals. How do we feel about the natural world of Cascadia? Is it the perfect chill gateway game - and how does it compare to other tile and meeple placement GREATS like Carcassone and Alhambra? We meander towards the Panda-centric Takenoko and chat about how "cuteness" and theme can make or break a game. Join us on this fairytale trek into boardgame nonsense!

December 27, 2022 Space Lions and RPG Prepping - Ep2
On this episode we dive into a discussion about the most majestic yet terrifying space opera games, Twilight Imperium 3 and Twilight Imperium 4. War, negotiation, and the ability to bullshit your friends are key diplomatic pillars, so how do both of these editions stack up against each other? Finally, we tackle aspects of TTRPG preparation we find the most important, and discuss how we structure an adventure around the most fickle of beasts: Player Characters! Pubbability? 10/10.

December 17, 2022 Big Hats, Long Legacies, and West Marches - Ep1
In this opening episode of Board With Finns we have a deep dive into our recent gaming adventures. Do the large hats add to the experience of Dogs of War? Will we lose our minds in the velveteen bags of Wonderland's War? We debate the pitfalls and pit-climbs of Legacy games and propose the Pubbability metric of boardgaming within bars. Plus, an insight into the crazy world of a West Marches DnD campaign that has spanned years!

Is Scythe a good boardgame? Are some of us actually Finnish?!? Tune in to find out!
