Getting into Games

Our first foray into Getting into Games: Classics where we talk about Carcassonne, its history and what we thought of actually playing the game. We also have strong feelings about meeples.

It’s (pretty much) Friday and that means it’s time for another episode of

Getting into Games. This week we look at Dragonwood, a game of dice and

daring, and talk about our own personal histories with fantasy stories. We

also have a special guest at the beginning you won’t want to miss.

Mark and Dave are here to talk all things baseball. And by “all things” we

clearly mean this board game about the last half inning of a major league

baseball game and the best baseball movies we can recall.

Dave is back from vacation and we are ready to get back into our Project

About Board Games. We talk about vacation, beach trips, hardcore shows,

expensive theme parks, and end up ranking some movie trilogies.

Mark and Dave play the unique deck game of Keyforge and the struggle to

contain Zyzzix the Many. This was our first recorded episode from several

months ago. Thanks for taking the time to listen! email us at:

Dave and Mark sat down to play Haunt the House for the first time ever in their lives and recorded it for posterity. This is a bonus gameplay episode of which we may do more if you like! Let us know what you think of the episode and which of us makes the spookier ghost sounds. [email protected].

Mark and Dave check out Haunt the House by Kids Table Board Gaming. Listen as they discuss Mark’s aversion to scary movies and what his tolerance level is for scary stuff.

We figured that while everyone was sick to death of Game of Thrones now would be a great time to release our episode about A Game of Thrones: The Board Game! We also tackle the big issues like when to stop eating tacos. Recorded while the final season was airing, you will hear some outdated conversation about the show and see which predictions of ours were on the money (none) and which were way off. This episode, like this description, is entirely too long. If you’re looking to skip talk about the show and get right to the game skip to 1:12:00 and go from there.

Mark and Dave give a quick update, realize they love the same Tom Hanks movie and discuss the finer points of french fry etiquette.
