In this weeks episode, we talk about a topic that quite honestly...we're surprised we really have yet to touch on. That topic is evergreen games! If you've been around tabeltop gaming for any length of time, you've more than likely heard people talk about the phrase, "Evergreen game." If you've ever thought to yourself, what are they talking about?..then stick around. We do our best to dive into the topic and give our thoughts into what those types of games are, and what we'd classify as some evergreen titles. We hope you enjoy the episode!

Welcome back after an extended break! We hope you all had an enjoyable July 4th holiday, especially if you're in the states! In any event, we are back with another great episode for you. This topic came up in a pretty interesting way (a way in which we talk about in the episode 😁), and when we started talking about the topic, we immediately stopped talking about it and said, "This will make a great podcast topic!" So here we are! We're talking all about rules sets and formats for card games, and even board games today. The conversation really started as a way to figure out how to run a good tournament for different games, instead of the (Magic typical) bring 1 deck plus a sideboard. So we went from there. We hope you enjoy the episode, and we're really interested to know your opinions!

Have you ever been playing a game and thought to yourself...when will this game just be over all ready?? I think a lot of us have been in that exact situation. It's with that thought in mind, that we talk about todays episode, "What Makes a Game(s) Exhausting." Dan and Jim go over a few thoughts and ideas that each of them have of why they think a game can be exhausting in general, and some ideas for them specifically. We hope you enjoy the episode!

It's hard to believe that we're half way through 2022! Since we're ALMOST into July (still crazy to think about 😬😬😬), we thought this was the perfect time to have a retrospective with what's going on with hobbies + happiness so far in 2022, and again to look to the future! So, with that being said, we hope you enjoy this conversation as we go over what is coming in the rest of year for hobbies + happiness!

We've got another great episode for you all today! In this weeks episode, we talk all about deck building and deck piloting. We compare and contrast both of these topics, and talk about how each of them has their own distinct place within the world of card gaming. Both are very different and distinct topics within card games, and both serve very important functions. We hope you enjoy the episode!

We've got a great episode today discussing a topic that we've wanted to touch on for quite a long time, and one that's really important to us as well. We're talking about finding your playgroup today! This is probably one of the biggest things that tabletop gamers have the most hardest thing actually doing, moreso from our experience due to the majority of us being introverts 😉. Well today we wanted to go through not only our experiences with finding some playgroups, but also giving tips on how to find yours! We hope you enjoy!

Really interesting episode for you all today! In this episode, we discuss one of our recent gameplay videos in which Jim basically just dominated Dan in a game of Here to Slay...and Jim was really the only player having much fun. If you saw the video, you know which one I'm talking about! 😂😂 While we really did have a good time, we started to have a pretty good discussion on how each of us have fun, and our different types of playstyles, so we wanted to dive deeper in that discussion on this episode. Strap in, and get ready for a great discussion!
