Elevated Boardgames

Well, we've finally made the leap to more video, in fact, we've finally set up a YouTube channel as well, and figured Mysterium was the perfect game to launch it with.

(Don't forget that you can find all episodes on The Podcast App, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts as well. )

Yes, we had a lot of fun with Mysterium, which was lovingly produced with a fabulous team of artists from Libellud. It's a game with a lot of dream-like vibes, and can be played with 2-7 people.

Enjoy the show and blaze it up!

No scoring, no competition, just gentle banter and a combination of 2 different versions of a fabulous game, Balderdash. Truly, it's a fabulous game for a party of at least 3-5 goofballs, so I hope y'all can find a copy at your local thrift, and also have about 3-5 friends that may want to play.

Follow up, if you have 3-5 friends who like to play boardgames, we would not at all be opposed to sharing this podcast with 'em.

Out Unpaid Intern, the very patient Ken, would appreciate it too.

Do it for Ken.

It's actually the Baby Boomer edition from Trivial Pursuit, not "boomer" as in "oh no, it's a boomer heading my way and I can see their opinions on their face because they have need therapy for at least 50 years". Looks like I might have a bias.

At any rate, we didn't do horribly, but I really don't care for Gene Autry or his damn horse.

What can I say? The Ghost in the Machine will stay in the machine, because we (I mean, I) got very bored of it way too quickly.

So anyhoods, here's Taboo!

Apologies for the inconsistency of the available accents. We're working on it. In our defense, there's really no way to NOT have whimsical banter when you're this ELEVATED.

Anyhoods, enjoy a tale told in liminal space. It's the best space there is.

I guess that I'm getting quite tired of this one, and I've gotta say that, even though we leave it a little ambiguous at the end, Shane and I are ready to take on a true crime-ish murder mystery. Shane has even promised to attempt a character with an accent, so I'm pretty excited about that possibility.

Anyhoods, Ken and the magnificent (if untrusting of my enthusiasm) Daisy stopped by for a little visit yesterday, and it was so great to see them both. We hope for more visits in the future! (What's Daisy's favorite treat again? Table scraps? Geeez, we'll see what we can do to oblige.)

Well, this one was a roller coaster, and we are humbled. Looks like we're gonna have to have a Part 3, and that's okay. We're learning stuff.

Go see The Odyssey, y'all. We discussed it, of course, but come on-- it's so good. Go see it, Ken!

This one was put together and fully designed by Shane, who combined 9 different trivia-based games to bring us, MEGAQUIZ (cue flashing lights and a coolass 80's reverb).

Apologies for the lateness of the upload, but there were a lot of technical difficulties for today. It's okay now, I hope, but all of that is really up to the ghosts.

You know what? This one was pretty dang fun! I'd also like to think that Shane and I might actually have learned something-- of course, whether or not we retained any of this information? That's up for a wild debate.

Okay, love y'all, take good care! <3

Apologies to those of you who clicked on the earlier episode which was unfortunately, uploaded by a crazy person. That mistake has been drowned in a river and hopefully, no one will hear it ever again. Many thanks to our lovely Ken, who very kindly sat through the deceased recording and let me know that there was an issue. You're a precious gem, Ken!

Anyhoods, here we go again, fire it up and enjoy!
