  • TGT 136 On Topic: Industry Disruptors
    Today we’re talking about the industry disruptors including Kickstarter, Amazon, eBay and YouTube. How are these things good or bad for the industry as a whole and how do they affect our local game stores?

    Oh, and Kitty and Chris have vastly different ideas on Kickstarter which had the effect of extending the episode as well as creating some after show discussion that is now one of our Patreon extras.

  • TGT 134 On Topic: Theme
    Today we’re talking about theming in games. How much does theme matter? Is a “pasted on theme” really all that bad a thing? When is theme for theme’s sake a bad thing and how much should designers try and incorporate their theme with the mechanisms of the game?

  • TGT 133 On Topic: Games vs. Puzzles vs. Activities
    Today we’re talking about what makes something a game, or a puzzle, or an activity. Yeah, this could turn into us arguing semantics, but hopefully not. Really what we’ll try to do is identify the traits of each of these things and see how that affects our choices of games we like.

  • TGT 132 On Topic: Gaming Obsessions
    Today we’re talking about gaming obsessions. Whether it’s needing to collect everything for a particular board or card game, owning every book published for your favorite role playing game, or just wanting to play the same game over and over and over, what causes us to get to this level of obsessiveness and when should we try and reign it in?

  • TGT 131 On Topic: Favorite Games
    We’ve all been there, someone finds out you like board games and the next question (after, they ask “like Monopoly?”) is What’s your favorite game? But there are many reasons that the answer to that question may not be as straightforward as it seems. We’ll look at those reasons, and we will discuss our favorite games, and some of yours, as well as why they are our favorites.
