    The NEW KS is up as well Gametoppers 5.0  

    Tonight I am glad to be joined by longtime friend Kevin Burkhardsmeier or “Burky” to all of us. The Founder/Creator of Game Toppers LLC.

    It’s fun to catch up with Burky and hear about the origins of the company and how far it’s come.

    We also dive nice and deep about all the great additions to the toppers, the add ons/Accessories for the toppers and of course my favorite–the MATS!

    We dig deep and talk all about the optioins in the Kickstarter and there might be something you missed or something you might want to grab!

    The Prices are amazing and so is the quality of the product as well.

    A fun conversation and always great to peel back the curtain on an amazing company with an even more amazing product!  

    Coming up this month we will hit a Spoiler Alert SUPERMAN!

    And then later in the month BJ will join me for the top 11 to try and top 11 to buy at Gen Con

    Game toppers is Currently running a christmas sale

    Thematic game mats are all on sale  from some of the top Board game artists like Vincent Dutrait. All accessories are 15% off until Dec 22nd

    Only one Good Crowdfunding this week, and it’s near and dear to our heart.

    Please head over to Gamefound and support David and Co with MVM season 5+

    IMO the best source of BG information and content in the industry right now.

    Go over and support some amazing friends of the show and even better people!  

    Tonight Dan and Riddle have a whole lot of Christmas and holiday fun talking about our wild Thanksgiving stories, about how we watch a lot of Holiday movies (Yes Dan LOVES Hallmark movies) and we do a cool Christmas Rank ’em and try to guess where we would rank random movies for the rankings. We squeeze in some gaming talk as well!

    Digital

    Codenames app with Riddle/Marty/Justin— what’s everyone at home’s thoughts?  

    Rank Em!

    In the Christmas spirit I wanted to do a Rank em for this show.

    I stole this from both Adam who does it on motor city gameworks podcast, alsoI think it’s a Tic Toc thing AND this variation from BJ who does it on board game gumbo.

    Tonight I have a list of the top 100 Christmas movies  And everyone can play along at home. I will randomly pick (1 at a time) 5 Christmas movies. And Riddle will have to blindly rank them one at a time 1-5. Now he is going to write his down first and then I will write down where I THINK he will write them down. We will get 1 point for each one we get correct.  And then we will do this with Dan

    What we have been watching

    Dan Hot Frosty (Netflix) and all new (and old) Hallmark Christmas movies

    Dear Santa (Jack Black)

    Riddle

    Arcane

    What we have been playing!

    Just got Aegmonia and naturally my “all in” for Ascendancy came in 2 days later
