- S4E15: Wyrmspan - A Jester's Gambit Deep Dive
In this feature episode, Wyrmspan by Connie Vogelmann faces the trials of the JESTER'S GAMBIT in which we capture our journey with this game over the span of 10 plays as part of our S4 10x10 challenge (playing 10 games at least 10 times).
Join us as we share first impressions of the game on the table, discuss what the experience was like learning the game after one play, and provide an in-depth discussion of our experiences and perspectives after 10 plays. Most importantly, we determine whether the game will be "crowned by the court’s laughter and bestowed upon the jesters’ shelf"...or "given a fond farewell with trumpets and tumbles."

45 min - S4E14: Bring Out Your Tokens!
In this episode, we discuss some of our favorite things we did in October to celebrate the spooky season. Then, in our Tales from the Table this week, we have resummoned the game Orléans by Reiner Stockhausen from our Jester's Shelf of Cardboard Curiosities, but this time with The Plague expansion. We discuss our experiences re-playing the base game and then playing through with the new expansion multiple times. Will this game be promoted to our Shelf of Jester Cheer now that we have played it at least 10 times and it has been in our collection at least a year?
Finally, we offer an update on Wyrmspan after a few plays and reveal whether it will move on to face the trials of the JESTER'S GAMBIT (10x10 challenge)...or be cast aside at the fool's crossing, never to return.
