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 to Nelson from Nelson All Over Cards for joining in the episode, too. Sorry for the time(s) I say "Nelson Over Cards" instead of "Nelson All Over Cards" - I'm in marketing, and I should know better! Nelson - you're the best! Season 3 will be here someday. Just give me some time to settle into this new way of being. :-)
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.
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
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 gamers out there. (Sorry for the poor audio quality! I'm talking into a speakerphone in my car for this episode. Maybe hearing my voice less clearly is a... good thing?)
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 just can't think of anything else to say here BYE
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!
The three games: Ginkgopolis, Gugong, and Coffee Roaster Keepin this description short because I feel self-conscious about the episode soooooo
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 audio quality on this one.)
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 IN TO GET NONE OF THESE ANSWERS AND MORE
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!
Three games this week - all solo, all in the same publishing "series": Proving Grounds, Warp's Edge, and Wreckland Run. ~~~ Please, oh please, check out the Patreon if you have a moment. Or leave a review on iTunes. Both of those things help grow the show!
A look at... 1862, a solo-capable 18xx game 1837, a multiplayer-only 18xx game me, on trains in London My Patrons keep the show going. Thanks to them, and thanks to you for considering any support that might work for you.
A move, a new job, and paying tribute to what's left behind. Welcome to Season 2 of Meeple, Myself, and I. Games: Resist! and Legacy of Yu.
I mean... the title pretty much says it all. See you all next year!
A love letter for games and the family that taught me to love them.

I think this is the antepenultimate episode of the Top 100! I have spent all of my efforts making sure that I used antepenultimate correctly, so that's all I have to say here.
I'm a big, dumb idiot who can't post podcasts correctly. Pushing this through the feed one more time so people can see that it came out TODAY and not a month ago! Sorry for the extra traffic, y'all, and sorry if this showed up twice for you! ~~~ I got back to my written review roots recently (try saying that five times fast!), reviewing the blazing-hot Kickstarter game Endless Winter. This bonus episode is a reading of that review! We'll be back to the Top 100 in a few weeks!
We get ever-closer to the Top 15, and then... the Top 10! eeeeeeeep I adore these games. Sure, they have their warts, but they're... they're my warts? I don't know what I'm saying here, thank you for downloading the episode anyway please download
It's been a bit since I've done an episode! But I don't want that time to keep stretching out, even when I'm out of town. So I put together a short little episode here on the 2022 horror film "Smile" - a movie that, I think, wants to say lots about mental health and trauma. SPOILERS AHOY for "Smile" Like the whole plot! (Also, a reference to one specific event in "Hereditary" as well.) We'll get back to normal episodes soon enough. I hope this gets you by in the meantime, and please do let me know if you love/hate this kind of diversion in the meantime! They're incredibly fun for me to make, but... who knows if people want this.
