Life Beyond Board Games

Episode 8 - Greasy Fingers, Rule Lawyers, and Sore Losers: A Survival Guide


Listen Later

Ever experienced that tense silence when someone flips out after losing a game of Catan? Or watched in horror as greasy fingers handle your precious cards? You're not alone, and we're here to commiserate.

In this brutally honest conversation, Melissa, Stella, and Eric dive into the behaviors that make us all want to quietly pack up our games and never invite certain people back. From the player who spends five excruciating minutes contemplating their Santorini move to the person who's mysteriously "on their phone" during rule explanations only to ask the same questions repeatedly.

Whether you're looking for validation that you're not being unreasonable, seeking strategies to handle difficult gaming situations, or simply enjoying the catharsis of hearing others share your pain, this episode delivers with a healthy dose of humor and practical advice. And yes, we settle once and for all which of us smells the best at game night.

Have you encountered these behaviors or—dare we admit it—been guilty of them yourself? Follow us and share your own board game blunder stories. We'd love to hear what drives you crazy at the gaming table!
