  • S1E18 - Episode 118 - Let's Talk To Some Weirdos

  • S1E16 - Episode 116 - Welcome To... This 12th Century Cathedral Full of Bears
    There is so much construction talk in this episode you might just be inspired to slap on some overalls and try your hand at this 'carpentry' stuff that's all the rage these days. A french suburb under construction, a Gothic English cathedral being built brick by brick, and designing your very own gosh darn bear park are just a few examples of the types of games the guys get into before taking a deep dive into the mechanism of deck building.

  • S1E14 - Episode 114 - No, Not Monopoly

    Bill and Kaz spend a minute trying to figure out just how you explain the hobby to the non-initiated. Kaz goes down a rabbit hole obsessing over a game he just can't figure out, which spurs the guys to talk about what to do with games that just don't measure up.

    Plus a rundown of some top drawer co-op choices. It's so much fun when we put aside our differences and work together, am I right?
