Our gamers travel back in time to the turn of the 20th century to attend the Worlds Fair in Bruxelles ... or Brussels .. how knows? We're selling art, buying buildings, and breaking our architects out of prison! Join us this week as we played Bruxelles 1897 by Etienne Espreman and published by Geek Attitude Games in 2019.

... in America and the streets are made of cheese! RELEASE THE SECRET WEAPON!!! Okay, that's enough cat/mouse/cartoon references. It's a new year and we're getting Kait on to be a full time co-host.

... with their Inner Compass. That's what Eric and Kait are playing this week. Kiwi doesn't have anything snarky or funny to say as he wasn't in this episode. So instead, we'll get right to it! The game was designed by Asger Harding Granerud and published by AEG in 2020.

It's a brand new year and we're going to kick it off by going back to a game that we were 'taught' before the podcast was even a glint in Eric's eye. We've mentioned it a few times on the show as one of our worst experiences being taught a game. It's time for us to finally get back to Race for the Galaxy, designed by Thomas Lehmann and published in 2007 by Rio Grande Games. Is this the year where a game finally redeems itself? Join us and find out!

... and X never, ever marks the spot.  Kiwi and Eric set up their expeditions and travel into the unknown for fame and fortune ... or at least more points than the other person. This week we're playing Lost Cities by Reiner Knizia, published in 1999 by Kosmos.

Somehow 2021 has nearly come to a close. As is now a tradition, one of our final episodes of the year we look back at the games we played in 2021 and pick some of our favorites, least favorites, and Kiwi finally gets to use his graduate degree and talk about numbers and statistics. We've got some interesting conclusions, and that's not just Kiwi talking since he writes these episodes descriptions. We'll have one last episode before the end of the year and then we'll see all of you in 2022!

Kiwi decided that enough was enough and that he would no longer let Root intimidate him anymore. So he learned the game, and he taught it to bP and Eric. Come found out what they thought as they finally got it to the virtual table. It was published in 2018 by Leder Games and designed by Cole Wehrle.

RIP Michael Vale. This weekend, bP and Kiwi sit down to play Dollars to Donuts. Don't tell bP, but Kiwi may have purposely purchased a donut that morning in order to win first player. We're neither confirming, nor denying that was the case, but it happened either way. This was designed by the food loving trio of Molly Johnson, Robert Melvin, and Shawn Stankewich. It was published in 2021 by Flatout Games.
