The Longest Turn

Welcome to episode 15 of The Longest Turn Board Gaming Podcast! In this episode, Ben, Kevin, Tyler and Tyson talk about the games we've been playing lately. A game we cover needs a re-theme. Tyler and Kevin reflect on a couple of pencil induced injuries. We then discuss the "age-old" question of to sleeve, or not to sleeve? There are definitely pros and cons of sleeving and we cover a lot of them. Tyson goes premium with a set of sleeves, and it sounds like someone's perception of sleeves may be changed by our discussion.

Welcome to episode 8 of The Longest Turn Board Gaming Podcast! In this episode Kevin, Tyson, and Tyler start off the episode discussing what we’ve been playing lately. We then discuss what our top 5 games to play are when six people show up for game night, followed up by our outtakes, as usual. Often we split up into two games of three players because there aren't a ton of great games at 6P but sometimes it is nice to play all together. Maybe this list will help you have some ideas for your 6P game nights. What did we miss?

Welcome to episode 6 of The Longest Turn Board Gaming Podcast! In this episode Kevin, Tyson and Tyler discuss the unwritten rules of board game night. We talk about the obvious rules and some that aren't so obvious that we've discovered over the course of our board gaming experiences. We've broken a lot of these rules ourselves. Ultimately, playing games is about having fun and enhancing relationships, but following some of these unwritten rules helps to make game night a success. What rules did we miss?
