This week we're talking about Groking Games.  In other words the ability to intuitively understand games of various types.  How does it affect the overall enjoyment of the game and what can we do to help people become better grokers?  No promises, but we try and figure it out.

But first, announcements, Kickstarters, and some Feedback.  We have our Charterstone Giveaway winners, Chris backed Dice Throne Season 2 on Kickstarter, and we get a cool offer from Sam to compile statistics on listener 10x10 challenges.  Check out that thread here https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/1940127/inputfeedback-ep-79-10x10-challenge

This week we're talking about convention gaming.  What should you consider when running a game and what should you expect when playing a game.

But first, a brief announcement segment (where Chris makes a mistake and says Capricon is this weekend when it's really next weekend Feb 15-18)  followed by a  long Kickstarter segment and finally some feedback.

In this side chat I talk with Daniel Shepard about a little convention in Park City, Utah that he volunteers for.  It sounds awesome and can double as a whole family vacation even if the whole family isn’t as into gaming as you are.

This week we're talking about the gaming jargon and vocabulary we can tend to take for granted when talking to new players.  Or as a new player the terms that can confuse us and make it harder to really get into the hobby.

But first after our normal news and announcements, Chris has a new "formal" Kickstarter segment.  We then get into feedback, and a quick question from Jason on gaming snobbery.

Steven Sites reviews Voodoo Mania: Voodoo Mania is a light card game I have played with my 4 and 6 year olds. In the game everyone has a stack of cards which difers on #of players and has 3 rounds. In each round everyone simultaneously plays their cards trying to get rid off all the cards. There are 5 symbols and 5 colors in the game. Each card has 4 of the symbols in 4 of the colors and you have to pla y aa card in your hand that has the symbol missing from the card in the color also missing from the card. It's some what similar to a game like Spot It! but more challenging. It's a great learning game for my kids with the recognition of both colors and symbols. For me its a easy little filler that might work with people newer to the hobby but even then too light for me. But if you rate it as a game for kids or to be played with kids I'd recommend this one for that. But for a big game night I have other filler card games I'd play first.

This week we talk about those people that get a little to emotional during the game.  Those that throw pieces or get mad at friends in real life for making in game decisions.

But first we make a huge announcement (huge to us anyway) - and no, it's not that Kitty's given birth yet, but that's coming soon.  After this announcement, Chris talks about Tiny Epic Zombies, his Kickstarter of the week and get to some feedback from our last episode.

Links we've promised...
