Hey everyone! We look at the games that are great and maybe surprisingly not so great to play with significant others who maybe do not self-identify as a "gamer"! We give a top 5 list that is tailored to us specifically and talk about the various genres that we have had good experiences with personally. We also discuss our gaming club game Katana ZERO! 

Episode disclaimer: we tried to have at least one of our wive's on for the episode but could not get it to work at that time. Future episodes we'll have them on for sure! Sorry if any of this comes off as brash or condescending, none of that is intentional and I apologize.

What do you enjoy to play with your significant other, whether they’re a “hard-core” gamer or not? Did we miss any in our list? Let us know!

Huge shout to TheOneUps for letting us use their Shadow Man theme for our intro! Their new album is out and it is fantastic.

Also a shoutout and credit goes to Wiesty and the OC Jazz Collective for letting us use their song Dream of Green for our outro.
