What happens when three board game enthusiasts decide to launch their very own podcast? Join us as we navigate the exhilarating chaos of starting the Operation Game Night podcast! From setting up recording equipment to brainstorming names like "Cardboard 720," this episode is filled with the excitement, technical hiccups, and hilarious parenting anecdotes that shape our adventure. We share our motivations and the camaraderie that fuels our passion for connecting with fellow board game lovers. 

Ever struggled to get your friends hooked on board games? Fear not! We dive into the secrets of teaching newcomers, sharing our top game recommendations like Spot It, Dice Miner, and Beer and Bread. Whether you're looking for fast-paced fun or strategic gameplay, we've got you covered. We also tackle the delicate balance between luck and strategy in games like Distilled and discuss the importance of reliable facilitators for a smooth game night.

Take a nostalgic trip down memory lane with us as we recount our personal journeys from childhood favorites like Monopoly and Yahtzee to more complex games like Settlers of Catan and Mage Knight. Learn how our upbringing influenced our love for games and hear stories of epic game nights, both successful and not-so-much. Finally, Jared and I share insights into the art of podcasting, including tips on crafting a compelling outro and managing the editing process while keeping the conversation natural and engaging. Tune in for a blend of humor, heart, and a shared passion for the world of board games!
