Happy Halloween! Chris and Wendy are posting early so you can enjoy this goodness before the actual holiday. We're reviewing Core Connection by Japanime Games and Sonora by Pandasaurus Games. Also, some candy talk, for the holiday. Enjoy.

Chris and Wendy steal an idea from Board Game Barrage. What would you repurchase if you only had $100 after losing your entire game collection? We take on the challenge. Then, we review Hoop Godz, currently on Kickstarter by Board Game Brothas.  Live as of the posting of this episode, so go check it out: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/omariakil/hoop-godz/?ref=kicktraq

Chris and Wendy hop into the Way Back Machine and travel to the distant land of October of 2018. We discuss movies and music of the time, and re-review the games we covered back then! How do Black Orchestra, Prowler's Passage, and SeaFall hold up today?  Come find out!

Chris and Wendy go through two games with excellent themes, anime classics and theme parks. Both games were provided us by the publishers Japanime Games and Blue Orange games. Enjoy!

Here with our bonus monthly episode ....okay, so we haven't done a monthly ketchup since March. It's been 2020, you understand of course. So, we wanted to do a special Ketchup episode where we talk about our journey through the year. It's not an episode for a lot of people because we kind of talk about games very little. We talk about the stress of life, the burnout we had with games, the struggle of finding balance in a year of upheaval, but also the great times and memories that we've made. Whatever it is, hopefully it feels real. 

Chris and Wendy review a set of worker placement games with some nice unique themes and pleasant execution. Demon Worker was a review copy provided us by Japanime Games. Pan Am is a Target Exclusive game by Prospero Hall and Funko Games.

Chris interview Tony Miller, designer of Weird Giraffe's Fire in the Library and the upcoming Kabuto Sumo being published by BoardGameTables.com. We discuss the incredible story of how this game came into existence and became an instant hit with everyone who saw it. We also discuss the upcoming New Mill Industries and The Science and Seance Society. All stuff worth checking out!

Also, for your reference, here are the organizations Tony recommended you could donate to:

Time for another double-header review of two games we reeived review copie sof, Cloud City by Blue Orange Games and Pendulum by Stonemaier Games. These are two different games, though quite unique from other games on the market. Enjoy!

It's hindsight time! Time to look back on the games we reviewed two years ago and see how they hold up. This particular month, we feel strongly about. We love doing these hindsight episodes, and hopefully you find them instructive as well!

It's time to discuss the conclusion to the entire Star Wars saga! Until they release Season 2 of the Mandalorian, and everybody forgets what happened in this movie to make Baby Yoda chicken nugget memes. But until then, this is what we have to discuss, so let's do it. The final, epic, and long conclusion to our review of the Star Wars sequel trilogy. At least thankfully all our reviews of the three movies were shorter than The Rise of Skywalker.
