The Board Game Triangle

We are back (again), and this time we explore the changes in board gaming over the last decade and how that impacts the selection of games and the loss of common board gaming culture.

We look at games with a big WOW factor on the table, and how this differs from having a good theme?

We catch up about our summer, and talk about how to pick games on the fly with established play groups.

We discuss games based on existing IP, whether they are good, bad, or ugly, with guest Jared from Meeple Mentor returning to share an informed viewpoint.

Due to the mysterious connections of Ken, we were able to score an interview way outside our weight class with Jared of the Meeple Mentor! We discuss his favorite games, how he built his channel, and his new book, Push Your Luck: The Board Game Dictionary.

We talk about board game expansions, including when and why you might consider contracting your wallet size for a few or twenty.

We continue working down the list, and offer to play some games with you if you have them!

We talk about game length, what we like and dislike about different lengths, and how that impacts our collection and what we get to the table.

We talk about what game complexity even is, and whether there is such a thing as too complex.
