In this episode, Anne and Frances help a struggling listener who has spent years toning herself down in the workplace after being told that she was too assertive — now, she feels that her modest approach is holding her back. Together, they use Anne and Frances’s “trust triangle” framework to explore how empathy, authenticity, and logic can help you rebuild confidence and trust with your colleagues, and share helpful confidence hacks for getting comfy with discomfort.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedThis edition of Joint Ops June comes from the Games Y Mas Podcast with our good friend Vic (@gamesymaspod)! Dice, duchies, and heated debate! In this episode, we try to determine whether Castles of Burgundy deserves a coveted spot on your gaming shelf or if it's destined for the neighborhood yard sale. The question seems straightforward enough, but this beloved Stefan Feld classic sparks passionate discussion as we break down what makes a board game truly essential. Our guests, all active duty Air and Space Force officers united by their love of tabletop gaming, bring hundreds of combined plays to the conversation, offering invaluable insight into this dice-driven tile placement game. We systematically evaluate Castles of Burgundy across eight critical criteria: learning curve, component quality, visual design, replayability, setup time, price point, thematic immersion, and turn pacing. The contrast between the original Ravensburger edition and the luxurious $180 Awakened Realms version becomes a central point of contention—does premium production justify the steep investment, or does the accessible gameplay stand on its own merits? Throughout our conversation, we discover why this seemingly simple euro game continues to captivate players after countless plays. From its surprising strategic depth to its satisfying tableau-building mechanics, Castles of Burgundy offers something special that transcends its modest appearance. Whether you're new to the hobby or a seasoned gamer, you'll walk away understanding why this game generates such loyalty despite its shortcomings. Ready to roll some dice and build your medieval duchy? Before investing in a physical copy, follow our guests' advice and try it free on Board Game Arena—then decide for yourself if Castles of Burgundy belongs on your top shelf.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedStep behind the counter of a thriving local game store as we sit down with Cam, the heart and soul behind Petrie's Family Games in Colorado Springs. In this candid conversation, Cam reveals how a childhood obsession with Talisman evolved into a beloved community hub that's been bringing gamers together since 2009. Far from the stereotypical dark, unwelcoming game stores of yesteryear, Cam shares how Petrie's deliberately focused on creating a bright, accessible space where relationships matter more than transactions. "We're not just selling games," he explains, "we're becoming part of people's weekly routines, their culture." This philosophy becomes evident as Cam recalls recognizing customers by name from their first visit—a seemingly small gesture that creates lasting loyalty. The podcast offers rare insights into the genuine challenges of running a game store in today's market. With thousands of new games releasing monthly, Cam describes the impossible task of curating inventory when "if you stocked everything available, it would be a warehouse and even then you wouldn't be able to find anything." We learn how Petrie's balances the revenue-driving demands of trading card tournaments with their passion for family-centered events like their annual Couples' Dessert Night featuring cheesecake, themed decorations, and two-player games. Perhaps most eye-opening is Cam's thoughtful explanation of why game stores aren't an easy path to profit. "Don't get into this to get rich," he advises potential store owners, challenging the fantasy that owning a game store means getting paid to play games. Instead, success comes from "loving spreadsheets, projections, marketing... and even mopping floors." Whether you're a curious gamer, an aspiring entrepreneur, or simply fascinated by the intersection of passion and business, this episode offers a heartfelt look at what it truly takes to create a space where every player feels welcome.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedHow do you choose the perfect board game for your group size? While many games claim to support various player counts, most have a specific sweet spot where they truly shine. In this intimate, co-host episode, Clay and Travis break down their favorite games for every player count from one to eight players. For solo gaming, Under Falling Skies and Warps Edge offer engaging, thematic experiences that keep you coming back for more. The duo discusses how two-player gaming has exploded recently with titles like Ironwood, Kelp Shark vs Octopus, and the classics like Schotten Totten creating perfect head-to-head experiences. The conversation reveals some surprising picks for those tricky middle counts - Small World becomes a strategic masterpiece at three players, while trick-taking games like The Crew find their perfect form with exactly four players around the table. As the player counts increase, Clay and Travis highlight games with simultaneous actions and high player engagement like Modern Art (five players), Battlestar Galactica (six players), and Seven Wonders (appropriately best at seven). Beyond game recommendations, the hosts discuss a troubling industry development as Final Frontier Games announces they can't fulfill their Kickstarter for Merchants Cove Mastercraft despite the games being manufactured. This leads to a broader conversation about how tariffs and logistics challenges might permanently reshape the board game industry and the types of games being produced. Whether you're planning a solo gaming session or hosting a large game night, this episode provides the perfect guide to selecting games that will maximize enjoyment at every player count. The next time someone asks "What plays well with exactly five players?" - you'll have the answer ready! Have a specific game night you need help planning?
