Too Dumb for Games

Travis went thrifting and brought us back something called Pointing Fingers, from Hasbro. Guess we have to play it.

Pointing Fingers is a game that alleges to be a "hilarious game of who did what." We found it to be more of a very bad, boring game that inspires discourse on the proper useage of modal verbs, and difficult and terrifying metaphysical thought experiments. I certainly won't spoil anything for you, dear listener, but I'll just leave an image of the box art below and you can guess if Hasbro's assertions about its game are correct.

Too Dumb for Games is back with Space Hulk: Death Angel - The Card Game!

Astartes, don your power armor and get ready to get sweaty in a highly homoerotic and deadly expedition into card games about cramped corridors. Travis, Nick, Jaccob, and Paul scrape together what little knowledge they have of the 40k universe to weave a tale of love, betrayal, and death, for you, dearest listener!

We're back for another social party game with Monikers, a Kickstarter game by Alex Hague and Justin Vickers! Wish we'd read the rules better, because we might've played it kinda wrong? Just a little bit?

Monikers is a game about getting your friends to guess words on cards, like Jareth the Goblin King, cocaine bears, and Phineas Gage. Travis and Paul dominate. Nick and Jaccob flounder. We try to get David Liebe Hart as a guest star.

2d4g gets violent with Superfight by Skybound Games!

Who'd win in a fight? A UFC champ that can turn into water, or a boyband that kills with a kiss? Pikachu with a time machine or King Kong? You aren't gonna find out just sitting there, so stick in those earbuds and strap the fuck in, cuz 2d4g's taking you to the most improbable of arenas.

Too Dumb for Games has existed for one whole year, so we're commemorating our lil b-day with a Games of Our Year edition!

We take a trip down memory lane to look at the squalling, red-faced infant that was our podcast, and Travis, Nick, Jaccob, and Paul pick out their favorite games that we played for the podcast in 2016. We decided we'd extol the virtues of Mansions of Madness 2e, Betrayal at House on the Hill: Widow's Walk, Fast and the Furious: Full Throttle, and Cosmic Encounter.

Happy New Year! Too Dumb for Games is bringing in 2017 with ep. 26: Badsketball, wherein we unearth the ancient curse of 1971's Harlem Globetrotters Game by Milton Bradley!

If you ever find yourself dusting off a copy in some flea market or side-alley store full of mysterious Chinese artifacts, just put it down, walk away, and forget you ever saw it, because what lies inside is too powerful and evil for the weak souls of man.

In Epic Spell Wars of the Battle Wizards II: Rumble at Castle Tentakill, Travis, Nick, Paul, and Jaccob once again don their robes and wizard hats and blast each other to bits. Cryptozoic really upped the game for this expansion, with better art, mechanics, and we put the Too Dumb for Games spin on it with a spiraling descent into Jaccob's past romances.

Too Dumb for Games travels back to the old west and into the dark, earthy caverns of Nick's memories as a feral child with Eureka by Ravensburger Games. Eureka is a game about panning for gold and robbing your friend's, and inspires such thoughts as what was the Breakfast Club's prom like? Will Bob Dylan guest star on our podcast? And can Nick confront his dark past? Find your answers through the play button!

Wherein we play Portal: The Uncooperative Cake Acquisition Board Game by Cryptozoic! Nick accidentally ended this game way too early, so this officially makes our shortest episode ever. Expect a little game play, whatever we call a review, and some truly disturbing facts about alligator anatomy, courtesy of Jaccob.

It's election day! Time to put on a topical episode of Too Dumb for Games, wherein we play Clintonopoly and the Trump Game, go out to the polls, and experience the existentially crushing discontent of voting in this election! Don't forget to have a great day!
