Good news! This podcast is still about board games. Heck, we even talk extensively about the incredible game "Visitor in Blackwood Grove". For a hot minute, it looked like we might accidentally morph into a David Ogden Stiers fancast, a podcast discussing the Free Willie 2 soundtrack, or something else entirely. Don't worry though, totally still about board games...mostly.

Episode 79 - Visitor in Blackwood Grove

Dog and Thimble is a comedy and review podcast about board games and RPGs, the friends who play them, and the dirty, awful things we say to one another. Dice suck, but friends are forever.

Dog and Thimble is back in 2020! Tom and Alana are hanging out at BryceCon before the con even starts because of journalism or something! Sure there was supposed to be a snow storm coming that they wanted to avoid and they thought they could play more games if they showed up early, but also journalism. 

Anyway, we're talking very briefly about the games we played on day zero; Trophies, Chocolatiers, and Draftosaurus, along with dinosaur wizards, Alana's cool new name for lotion, and museum memories.

BryceCon 2020 - Day Zero

Are the Dog and Thimble crew the best people to populate the newest discovered exoplanets? Probably not, but we ended up here anyway! Dog and Thimble returns once again to discuss Space Gate Odyssey from Ludonaute. But populating planets take time, so you better believe we filled the minutes by talking about when the last time Chris ate a Hot Pocket was, Tom's history of energy drink consumption, and regrets about our failures to be witty in a given moment.

Game discussion starts at 7:26

Space Gate Odyssey

Award season rolls on mercilessly and the Dog and Thimble crew happily find themselves being crushed under its powerful wheels as they discuss Spiel Des Jahres winner "Just One" and Kinderspiel Des Jahres winner "Valley of the Vikings". Plus, Tom discusses his new favorite superpower, Chris debuts the hottest new song since "Old Town Road", and Alana doesn't know how to describe movies. This is one episode you're not going to want to miss!

This week the Dog and Thimble crew take flight with Kennerspiel des Jahres winner, Wingspan! Do you like, hate, or find yourself feeling largely indifferent about birds? If you answered yes to any part of that question then this episode is for you! Also in this episode: candy, pretzels, Tom is tired, and the phrase "tear-assing."



Discussion of the game starts at 4:32

Wingspan

In an episode that can charitably be described as having gotten slightly out of hand, the Dog and Thimble crew is here to discuss Disney Villainous and its expansions Evil Comes Prepared and Wicked to the Core. But this isn't just about games, we're also answering important questions like: "In the Disney universe, who is daddy" and "What's a good name for a burger restaurant in Baltimore?"

Again, this one is pretty off the rails so if you want to get into the game talk, it starts at 13:30.
