Your Turn

Welcome back listeners!  The video game industry is wide and diverse, there are constantly games being released with amazing artwork, incredible soundtracks, and stories that will leave you weeping. There is so much to discuss about the hobby that I am unable to do it alone, which is why I have invited my younger brother, Tucker Anderson, to join me and have a discussion about a couple different types of video games: single player, competitive multiplayer, and cooperative, and even then we just barely scratch the surface. Join us as we two nerds take a look at one of our favorite hobbies and talk about Pokémon for a long time and get confused about the game Raft.  As always, thank you for your support and for listening to each episode.  I love you all.

Welcome back listeners!  There is a vicious thorn within our wonderful hobby, GATEKEEPING, so please lend me your ear as I discuss how this behavior can be detrimental to all who love games. Join me as I talk about two games often ignored because they are too small or simple, and let it be known that YAHTZEE and NO THANKS do not deserve to be hated on. This episode is slightly different in tone but this is a very important topic that must be discussed.  As always, thank you for your support and for listening to each episode.  I love you all.

Welcome back listeners!  Sometimes when playing a board game you have to keep secrets and hold information close to your chest, potentially having to lie or fib just a little bit in order to get ahead of your opponents. Let it be clear, outside of board games lying is never okay. But when you have to be a CHAMELEON and hide your identity, you may need to stretch the truth. Luckily not all games require lies, and if you want to be the merchant king of the CENTURY: SPICE ROAD, you best keep your caravan full and leave the lies at home.  As always, thank you for your support and for listening to each episode.  I love you all.

Welcome back listeners!  One of the most incredible things about board games is the ability to play games with a variety of people and player counts. Games with varying player counts can provide drastically different experiences depending on how many people are playing at a given time.  Please join me as I walk the marketplace collecting camels and selling goods in the streets of JAIPUR, and then we shall take a break and join the FOODIES in the quest for the best mall food court.  As always, thank you for your support and for listening to each episode.  I love you all.

Welcome back listeners!  Time for something just a little bit different, a slight step from my normal path of talking about board games and into the realm of video games.  Before I dive deep into different genres and the variety of games available to try, please join me as I take a walk down memory lane to discuss how I became an avid gamer and how video games shaped my life.  Then follow me as I stroll through the warring realm of KINGDOMS OF AMALUR: RECKONING, creating our own unique characters and fighting off creatures of all shapes and sizes. As always, thank you for your support and for listening to each episode.  I love you all.

Welcome back listeners!  There is a wonderful saying about learning about other people by walking a mile in their shoes, and today I would like to discuss a system of games where players are given the  chance to become new people and have immense player agency and choice.  Join me as we arm up and travel into the MASSIVE DARKNESS to fight hordes of vile beasts, but fear not because afterwards we will rest by the fire as we share the LEGACY OF DRAGONHOLT. As always, thank you for your support and for listening to each episode.  I love you all.

Welcome back listeners! How many of you have been playing a sweet game with your closest friend or loved ones, only to have them quickly become vile ferocious adversaries bent on your destruction, as you realize they are bloodthirsty ULTIMATE WEREWOLVES?  How about having your dreams of wealth and triumph as you drop a gold piece on the stone passageway, generating a loud CLANK, and alerting the sleeping dragon to your presence in his treasure trove? Oh, wait, only me? Well, anyway, join me as I talk about the cruel world of player elimination and two games that use this in different ways.  As always, thank you for your support and for listening to each episode.  I love you all.

Welcome back listeners! Have you ever wondered what it would be like to create the world’s greatest herbivore or the most deadly pack of turtles the universe has ever seen? Well, I have got the game for you, and we will only need to travel back thousands of years in order to see the marvelous act of EVOLUTION, and then hide in terror at our creations.  But if making monstrosities is not quite your speed, and instead you want to build the most perfect neighborhood, WELCOME TO may be the exact game you are looking for, just do not forget your pencil with a good eraser.  As always, thank you for your support and for listening to each episode.  I love you all. 

Welcome back listeners! Grab your fruit snacks and a water bottle because it is time to head out to the battlefield to see who truly is the supreme leader. The fantasy tribes have gathered and are prepared to fight for dominance of their magical land. Are you strong and cunning enough to lead this myriad of creatures to victory in the land of ETHNOS? Fighting over land against your friends is not quite your style, well how about facing off against six vicious gladiators all on your lonesome? Grab some dice and start that timer because you must test your mettle upon the PROVING GROUNDS.  Join me as I talk about two fun and exciting games, one for multiple players and one to play solo. As always, thank you for your support and for listening to each episode.  I love you all.

Welcome back listeners! For the last nineteen episodes you have only ever heard my voice, even when you hear some random strange voice, it is still me but trying to be silly.  Starting with this episode I am going to be having guests every few episodes, and what better person to be guest #1 than my older brother, Clurie Anderson. Please join us as we talk about random topics, including what makes someone a nerd and how Clurie is a cheater at Catan.  As always, thank you for your support and for listening to each episode.  I love you all.
