| Episode Name | Release Date | Description |
|---|---|---|
| BGTG 107 - Handcrafted Games (with Lincoln Damerst and Greg Wilzbach) | 08/25/2010 | I grabbed two of my artistically talented friends (Greg did my podcast logo!) and put them on the microphone to talk about their hobby-within-a-hobby: handcrafted games. These guys have both taken a known, existing boardgame or two and hand made their own copies. It might have been to create... |
| BGTG 106 - SR & Feedback (Super Slapshot, Age of Industry) | 08/16/2010 | At long last, another episode, and a long-winded one at that! These session report & feedback shows are supposed to be easier episodes for me to bang out--I need to remember that! Doing them more often will work through the response backlog and make them easier & shorter. We'll see how... |
| BGTG 104 - Boardgame Themes (with Greg Pettit) | 06/14/2010 | Themes in boardgames are a favorite subject of mine. I'm sure I've said before how interested I am in the themes these games of ours have. Some themes instantly attract me to a game, while others are an immediate turn-off. When I'm playing a game, I particularly enjoy historic theming on the... |
| BGTG 105 - Games of the Decade (with Dave Arnott) | 05/30/2010 | Now that the first decade of the new century & millennium is past, Dave & I reflected on what that ten-year span meant for boardgames. Back in late 2007 he & I recorded a "decade+1" retrospective for episode #75, but that had a little different focus. For that earlier show, we tried... |
| BGTG 103 - SR & Feedback (Pandemic On the Brink, Caylus Magna Carta, Patrician) | 03/18/2010 | First of all, please consider bidding in my latest Geeklist auction. It ends mid-day on March 24, and has some great, unusual, and/or out-of-print games. Titles like Zoff in Buffalo, Basari (the good version!), Krieg und Frieden, and a pair of games from an original Chinese publisher &... |
| BGTG 102 - Games Played in 2009 (with "Davebo" Gullett) | 03/10/2010 | For more than a decade now I've kept track of the games I played over the course of a year. For nearly as long I've reviewed those lists after each year passed. First I posted on Usenet or my own website, later boardgame mailing lists, my blog, and lately this podcast. Like a lot of you, I find it... |
| BGTG 101 SR & Feedback (Dog, Keltis Way of the Stone, Sorry Sliders) | 02/10/2010 | First show of the new year, and it's another session report & feedback episode. Though I originally just picked three games I played recently & wanted to discuss, as I prepped for the show I found a number of related points between them. That's why I mentioned this could also be called... |
| BGTG 100 SR & Feedback (Tobago, Numeri, Polar Derby) | 01/05/2010 | Yea! When I started this podcast nearly five years ago, I had no idea I'd still be doing it now. The pace certainly slowed down from the early days, but I'm so pleased to have stumbled across the finish line to episode 100! Except that this isn't really a finish line--I'm going to keep... |
| BGTG 99 - Ten Years of Essens | 11/05/2009 | Chris left a comment after the previous podcast (anticipating this year's Essen), asking what games were my favorites from past Essens. That was the idea behind this show--my favorites, BGG's favorites, and what seemed liked the favorites at the time (Fairplay ratings). I looked up the past... |
| BGTG 97 - All About Brass (with Stephanie Kelleher) | 10/24/2009 | If you pay attention to the episode numbers, you'll see this one actually belongs before the previous show about Essen. I only needed to hurry that one out in time for the big game fair in Germany this week. I'd recorded this episode focusing on Martin Wallace's Brass with guest Stephanie... |
