Zach is back from GenCon and Doug is...around...so they talk games! Lots of games, and component quality...of games. We also discuss the new Sentinels of the Multiverse expansion, OblivAeon, for a long time. We talk about over production, some games on KS we just don’t have faith in, and making our baby cousins cry. Good times! Featured games this …

It’s been a while, so the guys are back with an episode that’s longer than usual. Eventually they get around to the topic of the show, which is expansions (i.e. different types, when enough is enough, what they look for in expansions, etc.), but not before they advertise what may be Greater than Games’ entire 2019 catalog...without getting paid for…

The guys take a look at luck in gaming, and come to the conclusion that it isn’t always a bad thing. In fact, they both kind of like it, except in certain kinds of games when they don’t, except when they do…. Skill vs. chance, is luck the great equalizer? Who knows? Flip a coin! Go? Featured games this month: Edge of Darkness Batman Gotham City Chr…

A discussion on the awesomeness that is Rising Sun from CMON leads to a conversation on the production quality of games. Does paying a premium price for a premium product force consumers to miss out on other great games? Would it be nice if there were cheaper versions of big box games available? We dunno... Featured games this month: Descent 2.0 Ra…

The guys talk about some of the conversations they’ve had with non-gamers, specifically on how board games can often seem intimidating to those unfamiliar with the hobby. Not to worry, as it seems the more games you play, the easier it becomes to learn new games. At least the mechanics...strategy is a whole different ball game. Featured games this …

Zach and Doug (mostly Doug) take a look at rule errors they’ve made, sometimes simple, sometimes not, that have drastically changed the way games have been played. While not always making games unplayable, the guys do worry they might ruin a gaming experience for someone who has never played the game before. Doug also learns that K2 and Kilimanjaro…

The boys celebrate some big news for Doug and examine how various game enhancement tools change the way we experience games. We examine tools including soundtracks and helper apps as well as special dice, component substitutions, and background music as well as fan-created supplements. We look at the level of necessity of these offerings as well as…

After another busy spring month of moving, conventions, school work and everything in between, Zach and Doug find themselves facing a distinct lack of games played. Instead, we find ourselves talking about how strongly reviewers impact our likelihood to purchase or play a game and how the availability of reviews has changed the way the industry mar…
