Tabletop Game Talk
We've come to the end of Season 1 of TGT. Will it be renewed for a new season? Nobody knows right now, it's the ultimate cliff hanger! In the mean time though we hang out with you one last time for nearly 2 hours. Thank you all for everything - you really are the reason we've made it 7 years.

This week we made lists. Primarily of the games that we don't think will ever leave our collections. We made some related lists as well. Then we came to a realization at the end...that may just change everything. Or at the very least free up some space.

This week we, kind of, talk about how things have changed. Or maybe we just recap the last 8 years of games. One of those things is true or maybe a little of both...?

This week we talk about what happens when crafting meets gaming. What are some cheap ways to craft your way into a blinged out game? Or just to make a game more playable? Well, that's what we talk about. We also talk about CD burners in the post credits, go figure...

This week we talk about a ... a topic. What topic? You'll just have to wait to find out. But don't wait, press play now - unless you want to wait, because you like the anticipation of learning what the topic is. But really, don't wait!

This week Chris and Fletcher talk about vampires. Well, they barely scratch the surface about vampires anyway. Why? Because Chris recently bought a vampire game and it made him think about how many games there are based on vampires. So it seemed worth chatting about at least.

This week Chris and Fletcher talk about saving money in the hobby. If you’re cult of the new, you probably spend too much money. How can a different perspective decrease that amount. There are also a lot of tangents.

In this week’s episode of the podcast, Chris takes on the challenge of convincing the group that AI is a positive force in our lives and won’t lead to a catastrophic takeover of the world. Join us as we explore this thought-provoking topic and see if Chris can successfully make his case. While the outcome may be uncertain, we can rest assured that our AI overlords will be watching and may even give Chris some recognition for his valiant effort. Don’t miss this intriguing discussion on the intersection of AI and gaming.

This week Chris has decided that we should step back from the table and move to the couch/computer where we’ll play some online role playing games. We cover some history of the games as well as the history of the hosts with these games. There is even an attempt to relate MMORPGs with tabletop games.

This week we talk about why games we once loved, we no longer play, nor even have interest in playing again. This happens to most all games for most all people. (yes most all) And you don’t have to be cult of the new to experience this phenomenon. So we drill into why. After we deal with our discord issues…

This week Chris rants about games with too much stuff to make them playable. You know the kind, simple games with big boxes and tons of components that all need to be token out and setup only to be put back in their proper places after the game. Miniatures, cards, table space, miniatures, dice, playmats, so much, too much?

This week Kitty is back, with some heavy news and a lighter topic. Don’t worry it’s all good stuff. We’re talking about filler games! And why they tend to be dismissed within the hobby as something you don’t build a game night around. But maybe we should give them a chance at the spotlight? Or not.
For when it matters, Kitty won and she liked it. It’ll make sense at the end.

Some people love it, some hate it, we talk about it. What are the different ways games can using wagering (betting) in games and how does it change the focus of the game. Could adding wagering to more games level the playing field between player levels by shifting the victory condition include more of knowing who is going to win and not just winning yourself?

Last week we looked back at 2022, this week we look forward to 2023. What games are we most looking forward to? In Chris’s case, what Kickstarter is he most looking forward to backing? And even though this was recorded moments after our last episode, we somehow find some banter about something that happened between episodes.

This week we look back at the games we played in 2022. What did we play the most? Why? Do games on BGA count? (Of course they do!) And why, after 316 episodes, do we still flub the beginning of the show. And more importantly, why after 316 episodes does Chris not fix our flubs in editing!?

This week talk playing games competitively, like tournaments and such, vs causally where you still want to win but you may not want to compete.

The phases of what games we like and then stop liking and maybe start liking again. You know, phases.

This week Fletcher is back but now Kitty is out. So Chris and Fletcher talk money. Specifically money spent on hobbies. More specifically money spent on games. Is this another intervention for Chris? Maybe, kind of one he's doing for himself...

This week Fletcher forgets he does a weekly podcast and Kitty and Chris talk about how you may, or may not, cut your collection down to a fixed number of games. Successful?

This week Spencer joins us to fill in for Fletcher while we talk about Fantasy Football. What is it? How does it work? Why do people play it? And is it really just like a board game?

First we look at them as rated by Board Game Geek, and then we look at them by what's being played on BGA itself. And we throw in a few that didn't make either of those lists that we really like. We promise - we're not sponsored by BGA, but we probably should be...

This week we take a closer look at how the number of players effects the overall enjoyment of a game. Should all games strive for max player count, or should we avoid the max whenever possible? Is 2-4 players a myth? How do games attempt to adjust for different player counts? And will we ever stop talking about BGA?

This week we take a closer look at the "Living Card Games" (LCG) currently in print by Fantasy Flight Games (FFG). Which, are all co-op games; The Lord of the Rings, Arkham Horror, and Marvel Champions. Each host gives their first impressions of one of these games and by the end, we may just find that there's an LCG for each of us.

This week we talk about how games that require deck building (MtG, Arkham Horror The Card Game, Marvel Champions, ect.) can have a huge barrier to entry in trying and continuing to play these kinds of games. If you're someone who loves deck building, these games are for you. If you're not, we come up with some pretty good alternatives that can get you in the game with less friction than you might think.

This week we look at the opposite of luck: skill. How much can you get better at games? Some games are pure skill games, but even then your opponent(s) comes into the question. But most games do have an amount of luck involved, so when does that start to play more of an effect than your skill? That's the skill cap. We also draw winners for our Azul prizes. Join our discord!

This week Kitty leaves Chris and Fletcher alone and they decide to talk about work. Kind of. They discuss what it takes to write a digital version of a board game. But don't worry, they don't go too technical, and when they do, they back up and explain what they are talking about. Probably.

This week Fletcher is on his honeymoon, but Kitty is back (with a slightly raspier voice). So while Fletcher is away, Chris and Kitty talk about bad players. Pure coincidence. So what is a bad player? Can it be fun to be a bad player? And do we have fun playing with or against bad players? All that and a banter section that lasts about 15 minutes and covers all kinds of going ons.

This week Kitty is back! And Chris puts her on the hot seat for something she said (that turns out was said in our post show chat) about wanting to be able to plan her characters spells throughout the adventuring day.

Should a roleplaying game be as unpredictable as real life, or is a more regimented structure more fun for the players? If you want to enter our 2021 giveaway, details are below.

We may go off the rails a bit, you know, to demonstrate real life failing forward. But as long as we had fun, we did it right...

This week we look at the crowdfunding (Kickstarter and Gamefound) in it's current state, we then talk about what we look for in a campaign and why we might pass on a campaign. And finally we try and figure out why some gamers, Fletcher, just aren't into crowdfunding in any way. We don't actually get into the future of crowdfunding as we promise at the beginning of the episode - but spoiler alert, it's only getting bigger.

This week we talk about the rules. As they are written. You know, the game because the game are the rules. As written. But when is it ok to ignore the rules as written? Chris says whenever you want. Other people (everyone?) disagree and say, "Play it right or don't play it at all!" - who's right? Chris ofcourse. (hmm, I wonder who writes these notes, and can these notes, as written, ever be wrong? No! Paradox!!!?) OH! If you like our podcast, vote for us here: https://boardgamegeek.com/geekawards/boardgame And if you want an example of how hard it is to write rules, then this video is the best thing on the internet.

This week we look forward to 2021, and seem to be the only podcast that decided to put out an episode this week! (ok, that's probably not true, but it feels like it's true) In any case, we briefly sum up 2020 and then talk about all the cool things we hope for in 2021. From kids to conventions, weddings to games, and a whole lot more. If you want to bring in the new year with the destruction of the Death Star, start your Disney plus version of Star Wars: A New Hope at 10:02 and 43 seconds New Year's Eve night.

The first rule about 2020 is that you shall not talk about 2020... or at least that's what it seems. Monday night Kitty's audio recorder corrupted her audio (and Chris didn't have a backup recording) so we had to re-record on Tuesday night. Tuesday night Fletcher's audio was all static for the first 20 minutes (but this time Chris learned from Monday and had a backup recording, but it's not as good as the primary recording). So Fletcher is going to sound a bit distance after the intro and until about 20 minutes in. But once we got all the audio stuff figured out (you'd think we'd be good at that by now), we do finally talk about the 2020 games that we've played or are interested in. Last reminder: On Dec 14th (all entries must be in by the 13th) we'll be drawing a name to win a $250 gift card. You can get entries in the following ways:
Patrons automatically get entries equal to the $ level they pledge at. Leave us a review on Apple Podcast and email us with your iTunes name for 10 entries. Email us and just say you want to enter will give you at least 1 entry (maybe more depending on the email). Play the game at the end of the episode (the last minute) and send us your result will also get you 10 entries.

(Audio Note: Fletcher's audio is bad in his intro, but only the intro - we promise it sounds find later on.) This week we talk about how games end and what we like or dislike about those endings.

This week we try and talk about gaming over the holidays with the pandemic in mind. And we do that, a bit, but we also have a few tangents here and there. We may have scheduled a D&D session (Chris isn't sure). We play a bit of heads up. And at the every end we give you homework. But doing that homework gets you entered into our holiday giveaway!

This week we're a day late, but maybe not really since this will still be Tuesday (in the US) when it finally goes out... but late Tuesday. Anyway...this week we talk about games that have inspired us to do things outside of the game. And we talk about litter boxes. And D&D. And there's a surprise give-a-way too.

This week we are NOT talking about the size of the box. No no, we're talking about the SIDE of it. Ok, we're really not talking about that either. What we're really talking about is the info the publisher puts on the box (often the side) for player count, time and age. What's up with that and why is it almost never right?

This week we talk about creating characters in role playing games. We also talk about playing role playing games, and to bring it full circle we talk about character death. This one is a bit long, but we were having so much fun talking about this subject, Chris couldn't bring himself to cutting it any shorter.

This week we're kind of all over the place. We start with our usual banter, and then talk about the Oculus Quest 2, then finally get on topic, mostly. We talk about games (video and board) and books that are in our collection even though we don't plan to play or read them. We also talk about barbies. And kickstarter. And flying with pets. But it was all fun!

This week we Josh replaces Fletcher for our discussion of real time games. Why do these tend to be a love 'em or hate 'em category of gaming? How many of these are in the top 100 games on BGG? Top 1000? What are the pros and cons of real time games. Is realtime one word or two?
Listen to Josh ask Elon Musk a tough question: https://youtu.be/iU-poglarHc (Starts at about 3:11:50 - yes this is a long video.) And another link to nerts: https://bicyclecards.com/how-to-play/nerts/

Also, next week we talk about realtime games and this is the game Kitty was describing that is both multiplayer solitaire (literally) and realtime: https://bicyclecards.com/how-to-play/nerts/

This is part 1 of (likely 3) episodes where we'll look at the top rated games and talk about why they are there and are they right for everyone.

This is the sixth in our series of summer replay episodes and we're half way through. And this week it's about Chris, well Chris and his game buying habits. He made some promises (commitments?) in this episode, and at the end we find out if he kept them... ...we find out in the last 15 minutes with present day us (including Josh again) looking back at this episode. But, if you don't want to re-listen to this entire episode you can skip right to the conclusion, by going to timestamp 1:01:10. (Where's all the other stuff that goes here? Well, our live shows will resume in a few weeks (we'll give you plenty of warning) and we'll also start taking listener read credits at that time as well.)

This is the fifth in our series of summer replay episodes and we're half way through. This is our famed (ok, maybe just famed by us) AP episode where we answer all the questions about why some people have AP and how we can find common ground with them. Or if you are an AP player, how you can find common ground with those players that just don't seem to care as much about the game as you do... As always, we have another 15 more minutes of present day us (including Josh again) looking back at this episode. We probably should have but some kind of musical queue between the end of the first post credits and the start of the new stuff, but... yeah, we didn't. In any case, if you don't want to re-listen to this episode and skip right to the new stuff, then listen to the first minute or so and then skip to 1:05:24.

In the first of our summer replay episodes, we'll be going all the way back to Kitty's first episode and asking the question, What Makes a Game Fun... for us? If this episode seems longer than others, that's because there's about 15 additional minutes at the end of the episode where we (present day Chris, Kitty, Josh and Fletcher) talk about the episode and how things have changed since it's original publication. If you don't want to re-listen to this episode and skip right to the new stuff, then listen to the first minute and then skip to 1:05:58. But really, it's all good, we promise!

Chris does one of the worse outros ever, while Adrian Paterson does one of the best reading of the credits ever and doesn't even get credit for it in the episode.

This week we talk about scenario games. Without defining exactly what a scenario game is. Is there something about these kinds of games that cause us not to want to repeat a scenario? What if we added scenarios to games without scenarios, would that change how we look at the base game? Are scenarios a boon or a bust? David and Sam - Sorry!!

This week we talk about liking the idea of board games more than the actual playing of board games. Does this lead to giant collections with little desire to actually pull them off the shelf and play them? Is a game unplayed more valuable than a game played? All this and more!

[Note: there was about 1 minute that a bad audio file went live. So if you can't hear Fletcher, you auto downloaded during that minute. Just deleted the file and redownload and everything should be ok.] With so many new releases being delayed and game stores having to fully close down, some of us have had the chance to revisit some old games in our collections. So whether it’s playing a game you haven't played in a while or finally getting a game to the table that’s been sitting on yourself for way too long, we’ll be talking about the advantages of being able to play some older games like they were new again. Next week we'll be recording on Monday, 8:30pm central time (9:30 eastern, 6:30 pacific). If you'd like to hear us in real time and even participate via chat, join us on zoom here. Or open your zoom app and enter meeting id 441-998-566.

Well this title sounds bad - but no, we're not bored with board gaming, but maybe some people are and we're going to talk about how to get over that boredom.

Social distancing seems to be the phrase of the day and with all this distancing we're finding ourselves with a lot of extra time on our hands. So what do gamers do with extra time, they game, but... oh right, we need to social distance. In this episode we talk about ways we can still game without being in the same room.

We only give an overview, but it's definitely worth watching.

This week we go long. Well not really long in the episode, but long in gaming. Or really we just talk about long gaming sessions. Like all day or maybe even a weekend. Sometimes the same game, sometimes a series of games. Sometimes you just need to go through an entire legacy game in one session (ok, no, you should never really do that).

This week we add on to our episode 177/40 discussion (talking about rulebooks) and talk about what it would be to get rid of the rulebook. We take different sides on this one right down to whether we should even consider getting rid of rulebooks at all. And if we did what it should and shouldn't look like.

This week we wanted to talk about getting rid of rulebooks. But Kitty is too sick to record, so instead of recording without her, this is a rerun of episode 40 where we talk about what we like and don't like about rulebooks. It's been edited to remove time sensitive content (what we referred to as off topic at the time) but otherwise remains intact and relevant to next week's conversation where we really will talk about getting rid of rulebooks.

It's the start of a new year, so where better to start than talking about how complex the games we play really are. And as a result we find out what types of games we really enjoy the most when it comes to complexity.

Chris does a LOT of the talking in this episode. Yes, yes, we know what you're thinking, "he always does a lot of the talking." But this time, it's a LOT. Anyway, he's talking about FFG and what makes them FFG. From the early days of TI1 to LCGs to Unique Games. He covers it all, sort of. We never do get into the digital side of FFG and we only touch on the story stuff they do. Oh, and if you're wondering what Chris's top 3 FFG games are...

This week we're looking at the promises publishers make, and break. Should Kickstarter exclusives stay exclusive forever? Should publishers be punished for missing releases dates? Should preorder windows stay open for the entire window even if stock runs out? Maybe. But maybe not... Email us at feedback@TabletopGameTalk.com - for questions and feedback.

This week we talk about cash money, for winning. And what that can do to a game. We use KeyForge as an example since FFG recently announced a $100,000 cash event, but really this applies to all types of competitive games. Does having cash prizes associated with a game make you more likely to play that game? Email us at feedback@TabletopGameTalk.com - for questions and feedback.

Are these store pulling business away from the smaller stores? Is this the end of the local game store? No, but it is worth looking into how big box stores getting into the hobby will affect the hobby going forward. Some links that were referenced in the show...

Today we’re talking about being super competitive and the games that encourage this level of competitiveness. We’ve all seen these types of players, or maybe know them, or maybe are them… The players that must win. The “If you’re not first, you’ve lost” kind of players.

Today we’re talking about those games that take up a LOT of space. Sometimes that means space on the table, but it often means multiple boxes, or over sized boxes, or dozens or hundreds of miniatures. These are the games that are a challenge to store and likely a bigger challenge to get a chance to play. So today, we’re talking about what attracts us to, or repels us from these games.

Today we’re talking about gaming obsessions. Whether it’s needing to collect everything for a particular board or card game, owning every book published for your favorite role playing game, or just wanting to play the same game over and over and over, what causes us to get to this level of obsessiveness and when should we try and reign it in?

We’ve all been there, someone finds out you like board games and the next question (after, they ask “like Monopoly?”) is What’s your favorite game? But there are many reasons that the answer to that question may not be as straightforward as it seems. We’ll look at those reasons, and we will discuss our favorite games, and some of yours, as well as why they are our favorites.

This week we’re talking about why games in our collections go unplayed. It’s easy to say there’s just not enough time, but is that the whole story? Why have games if you’re not going to play them? What can we do to get unplayed games to the table more often or should we even try? Have you asked yourself, does this game spark joy?

To help introduce Fletcher, in this episode we talk about what makes someone a casual gamer vs. another type of gamer. And in doing so we take a look at ourselves and where we fit and why on the gamer spectrum. Early on we find it's all relative and not so much a linear spectrum.

This week we took a look at what our gaming collections would be if we started fresh with $250. Well, Chris and Kitty did that. Josh just went on a spending spree. This was a fun one, so much fun, that one lucky listener won a $250 amazon gift card to go on a spending spree.
Spoilers for reference: Chris - Viticulture - Century. Golem Edition - Santorini - Hail Hydra - Arkham Horror 3rd Ed - Electronic Catch Phrase - Fantasy Realms - The Mind Kitty - [currently hidden] Josh - Insider - Mansions of Madness 2nd ed - The Confessions Game - Beasts of Balance - Witch Hunt

We cover a lot in a short amount of time, from that quiet player, to inclusiveness, to why it can be the most amazing thing ever to game with new people (it's why we're all friends and why Chris will be a father in 3 months).

Are you like Chris who needs everything for his favorite games or like Josh who has nearly no interest at all? Or maybe you're like Kitty sitting somewhere in the middle. Maybe Tabletop Game Talk needs some game promos, what games should we try and sneak ourselves into?

It's complicated, the game, the game is complicated. But what makes it complicated and why are some people drawn to complicated games while others avoid them like the plague? It's certainly a sliding scale and not an easy subject to cover. One might even say, it's complicated. Ok, ok, that's the last time I'll type complicated (ok, that was one more time). But we do end up saying it a lot as well...

When you only have a few games, these can be easy questions to answer. But...we all...end up with...too many games...!!! (Ok, maybe not everyone, but still.)

Cheating. Seems simple enough, don't do it. But we manage to make it complicated enough to take up a whole hour. And if we do say so ourselves, it was an interesting hour. For those that follow along on the bgg thread (that's http://TabletopGameTalk.com/bgg) you won't find an input thread for this one. Chris comes up with some excuses as to why, but really, he just forgot until it was too late.

We love your feedback, and in this episode we focus on it. We start with some general feedback but we eventually get into you opinions on generic themes, playing older games you've missed, and alpha players in co-ops. And oh wow do you have opinions on alpha players. No worries though, no alpha players were, physically, hurt in the making of this episode. Emotionally though, well...

This week we take a look at the idea that you should (or shouldn't) play older games you may have missed because they are icons of the genre. Or maybe because everyone says they are "great" (even though they may not play it anymore themselves). Or maybe because you want more gamer cred. Or maybe you shouldn't bother with the classics and just play good games... ?

This is episode 1 of the new On Topic format, but it's also episode 101 of Tabletop Game Talk. Things have moved around a bit, feedback has been removed from the weekly episodes (but will get it's own designated episodes every few weeks) and the news/announcements have been moved to the end. This gives us a lot more time to talk about the topic, so we hope you enjoy.
