Lord of the Rings: The Card Game, or, Finding a New Lifestyle Game, or, Embracing a New Style of Life

May 02 2024 36 mins  
GREAT EPISODE NAME, right?! Season 2 comes to an end, almost exactly a year after it started. I do apologize that I haven't been more consistent with these episodes, but I'm not sorry for the reasons behind those delays. (Does that... even make sense?) Please join me in this episode to learn more. Thanks for joining me for this happiest episode I've ever made. Also, a huge thanks t

Scholars of the South Tigris (and the other North Sea, West Kingdom, and South Tigris games!)

Jan 16 2024 31 mins  
The ostensible purpose of this episode is to discuss the latest South Tigris game - namely, Scholars of the South Tigris. What ends up happening is a retrospective on ALL of the North Sea, West Kingdom, and South Tigris games, which I'm sure is shocking to anyone who knows how LASER FOCUSED and ON TASK I usually am.

Robinson Crusoe and The Halls of Hegra

Jan 02 2024 23 mins  
Back for another episode! The audio quality is a bit low on this one, and I do apologize for that - I wanted to get this one HOT OFF THE PRESSES before I get a puppy in my house shortly. IT'S FINE I AM NOT STRESSING ABOUT IT AT ALL

Interlude from a Car: Trust and Safety in the Solo Gaming Community

Dec 04 2023 10 mins  
I'm selling things from my house, which means selling LOTS of things on Facebook. It sucks. This episode is some musings (ramblings?) about "trust" in online communities that buy and sell things from strangers, and it offers some context for why I suck at putting out consistent content right now. I've got feelings about selling the house, and feelings of gratitude (mostly!) for you

Race to the Raft

Nov 16 2023 16 mins  
We'll keep this nice and short: I'm back from my lil' breaky, with aspirations for a more consistent output through the rest of this year! For this short first episode back, I give my thoughts on a new game - Race to the Raft - by the designer of City of Kings and Isle of Cats. I actually live with two cats now, and I've never had cats before this year! I'm a new man. Not really. I

A Quick Lil' Break

Aug 08 2023 1 mins  
Just a short announcement that Season 2 is on a bit of a pause through August 2023. I'll be back with better content when life has calmed down a bit, and look for extra stuff on the Patreon in the meantime!

My Struggle with Procrastination: A Tale of Three Board Games

Jul 24 2023 31 mins  
The three games: Ginkgopolis, Gugong, and Coffee Roaster Keepin this description short because I feel self-conscious about the episode soooooo

Solo Board Games and Video Games

Jul 13 2023 21 mins  
This episode is a bit late, and that's because I went on vacation without bringing my computer! I'm very dumb, and I'm very sorry for that. Tune in to hear me think about solo board games in the context of one particular video game: Tears of the Kingdom. How do size, scope, and sandbox-iness all fit into the experience of playing an "epic" game -- analog or digital? (Please forgive

The Concept of Roll and Writes, Part 3

Jun 26 2023 25 mins  
Well, we're back to an old saw here: a few more Roll and Writes, because I just can't stay away from these ding dang games. Should I have made it more clear that I'm eschewing an old format from episodes two years ago? Does the beginning of this episode even make sense? Is the description section of a file that I'm uploading the appropriate place to sort all these things out? TUNE

A Two-fer: Votes for Women and The Shores of Tripoli

Jun 12 2023 21 mins  
Today, I'm taking a look at two solo-able card-driven games by a very interesting publisher (Fort Circle Games): Votes for Women and The Shores of Tripoli. I feel like I should have explained that I play The Marines' Hymn because it says "The Shores of Tripoli" in that song. I... didn't say that, because I'm not a smart person. ~~~ Check out The Halls of Montezuma Kickstarter here
