  • New favorite podcast!

    BGB is an amazingly funny, entertaining, and informative board game podcast. The banter is on point and while I couldn’t disagree with Kellen’s game preferences more, the sass and chicanery he brings to the podcast is wildly entertaining. I started listening recently and have been working my way through the older episodes in reverse chronological order. I’m very confused as to why I got a top 10 Bird Games list but I’m so here for it!!! 😂

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#302: A Lotta Prattle About Vlaada Chvátil
Q: What did you think about La Famiglia, The Great Mafia War?
It's a beautiful game with a unique 2v2 mechanic that's both fun and engaging but could benefit from less playtime.
#308: Fantasy Draft: Games To Last a Decade
Q: Neilan, can you compare Spectral to Cursed Court?
Yes, it shares a similar deduction mechanic where players gain partial information to make strategic decisions.
#309: Moretuary
Q: What game do you want people to play at your funeral?
Neilan suggested 'Time's Up' for fun, while Kellen expressed a desire for 'Biblio' to be played.
#309: Moretuary
Q: How do you respond to a BGG user who says it's fun if you like doing your taxes?
The calculation in the game is quite low; it's straightforward and manageable without feeling overwhelming.
#310: Bob's Decade Delights
Q: So how do the expansions work with that? Do you feel like it's a thing where you just throw the expansions immediately or do the expansions, will they theoretically give you more playing time with them or not really enough there?
I would say that that is the thing that these games tend to do well, is I always feel like at least a little bit more encouraged to go back to it because of the expansions.
