Tabletop Game Talk

This week Kitty is back, with some heavy news and a lighter topic.  Don't worry it's all good stuff.  We're talking about filler games!  And why they tend to be dismissed within the hobby as something you don't build a game night around.  But maybe we should give them a chance at the spotlight?  Or not.

For when it matters, Kitty won and she liked it.  It'll make sense at the end.

Some people love it, some hate it, we talk about it.  What are the different ways games can using wagering (betting) in games and how does it change the focus of the game.  Could adding wagering to more games level the playing field between player levels by shifting the victory condition include more of knowing who is going to win and not just winning yourself?

We're back from the holidays and we talk all about our break.  And we talk about Great Western Trail.  And we talk about TGT Con 2.  And despite all that, it still seems like an off-topic episode.  A fun, off-topic, episode.

Last week we looked back at 2022, this week we look forward to 2023.  What games are we most looking forward to?  In Chris's case, what Kickstarter is he most looking forward to backing?  And even though this was recorded moments after our last episode, we somehow find some banter about something that happened between episodes.

This week we look back at the games we played in 2022.  What did we play the most?  Why?  Do games on BGA count?  (Of course they do!) And why, after 316 episodes, do we still flub the beginning of the show.  And more importantly, why after 316 episodes does Chris not fix our flubs in editing!?

This week we talk about our, often unreasonable, expectations of publishers.  From organized play to game inserts, we cover what we all think publishers should do, and why they probably don't.

We also announced our next tournament that starts on Dec 27th, so go to the Discord to find the signup link.

This week we find out what happens if we never go on topic.  That something is that we're all over the place.  Cast-iron cooking. Family gaming. Advent Calendars. TGT Con 2.  And a bit of a bunch of other stuff as well.  In other words, we're just talking to talk like any other episode :)

This week we try and crack the code on how to be casual with your competitive games.  It's a tricky one because nobody likes losing all the time in head to head match ups.  But are there ways to keep it fun even when you're not on top?
