We are recapping the Extra Life 24-hour marathon from earlier this month!

What we played, the people who came, some behind-the-scenes stuff, and most importantly, what we raised and how you can still help!

We talk crowdfunding, and how we have fallen prey to it yet again!
We talk legacy games, conventions, and the horrors of shipping.
And we wrap it up with a first look at a game that has us playing though our adolescence years,
expanding our interests and skills while trying to achieve our goals!

We dig into the mechanic of worker placement, and talk a bit about some of our favorites!
We talk about Gen Con and the event catalog!
And we wrap it up with our first look at The White Castle!

We start out with a bunch of questions and comments from you!
Then we move into a couple games we've played recently, one that has us following in the footsteps of our ancestors to explore and restore the glory of a bygone age, and another that has us digging into a 70-year old evidence bag, hoping to solve a murder!
We follow this up with not one, but two first looks! We work in the early 1900's to explore dream symbolism of the unconscious mind, and wrap it all up with crash landing on an alien planet, separated from our fellow survivors and scattered all over the world.

We discuss 10 favorite games that feature my favorite mechanism - Tile Placement!
We talk a bit about our Gen Con plans again.
And we wrap up with our first look at the longest game in our vast collection - Twilight Imperium 4th Edition.

"We visit another popular game mechanic, discuss 10 of our favorite games that use it, and just see where the random luck takes us.

And we will wrap it up with deep dive that has us exploring the rementants of a frozen earth, leading our individual tribes to populate ancient cities and build powerful machines in hopes of relearning forgotten technologies.

"

We visit another of our favorite mechanisms, and discuss some of our top games that feature it.
We talk about about how we have caved yet again to the aluring trap of crowdfunding.
And we wrap up with our first look at a new delivery, one that takes us on some delightful train rides across Europe.

On this episode we revisit a conversation we had on the last episode about the games we own, and start to break them down a bit,
hopefully touching on many of our favorite games along the way.
And since we expect this trip into hand management to take a bit, we will go straight into a first look of our newest crowdfunding arrival, a game that takes us into late 21st century where the demand for robotic workers is high.
But first...

On this episode we hit the trails!
With this false Spring coming later this week, we decided it was time to get out into nature, do some hiking, some biking and even some kayaking! We battle the elements on the John Muir, and so some fauna and flora peeping out in Arizona.
And we wrap it up by pitching our tents while we build the perfect camp ground in Camping Season.
But first... apparently Greg was recently subjected to a game of 20 questions at work...

On this episode we are finally in full video! And I say that hoping that nothing goes wrong and I have to delete the video and only upload the audio!
Beyond that, we are going to talk about some games we played this week, including some that took us back to the early days of our collection.
We are talking trains... and some stations... with a dash of trails and a sprinkle of secret adventure.
And we are going to top it off with our first look at Biome, a tableau builder that had us competing to build the most diverse Biome.
