The guys review Arcadia Quest, a long-standing classic in both collections. Overproduction is discussed, and whether or not its benefitting the hobby in the long run, or hurting it. Ken finally tests some shrink shelf goodies, and Ryan is obsessed with Wyrd's Vagrantsong. An upcoming interview is teased, so check it out!

The long-awaited Oath review is finally here! Deeproot Dwellers did not hit their funding goal and Ken is sad. Ryan is the only human being on Earth who did not enjoy Sleeping Gods, but he did love Long Shot: The Dice Game. Ken is about to lose a lot of money to the Unstable Unicorn team, and he's OK with that.

Double-digit episodes! So we're not total frauds (or is it too soon to tell?) The boys get their first taste of what it takes to run a zoo in Ark Nova, and gush over Roxley's Radlands. The alchemical magic of Quacks of Quedlinberg takes the review spotlight, Ryan keeps his cell phone too close to the mic, and Ken chats about his latest Kickstarter deliveries!

After a long month full of technical and scheduling issues, the guys finally play some Kabula! Two games and some first impressions, as well as a great chat with Kabula lead designer Antonio Liga from Stranger Games Studios.

Board game night has resumed! Ken furthers his Ryan Laukat infatuation, and Ryan finally gets his copy of Dice Throne Adventures. Ken illuminates us on the best way to find new games, and the modern classic, War Chest, gets some high scores in the review. Except for the player aides. Not those.

Happy new year! Ryan and Ken played a lot of games over the holiday break and discuss their favorites. The guys take a look at their top five most anticipated games for 2022 (with honorable mentions), and Ryan bounces off of Jaws of the Lion. Res Arcana gets the review treatment, and a small backed/bought list means more cash free for games in 2022!

The boys head to PAX Unplugged, game all weekend, and talk about the experience. Ryan went shopping and Ken's list got skunked. The top five most impactful games of 2021 are covered. Have a wonderful holiday!

Our first guest! Kyle Ferrin from Leder Games tells us of past, present and future works. We give Oath a little time, and a lot more will come.  We talk our PAX Unplugged games we're bringing, and review another Leder Games title, Fort. Ken continues to add expansions he'll never play to his collection. Ryan imitates creepy podcaster voices.

Ken learns more about Kabula, and we talk about CMON's 50th. We visit the Nerdhammer boys in Lancaster. A short talk about Ankh and the merge mechanic. Ryan talks Paleo, Ken talks Doodle Dungeon, and a Looterz review happens. We have big news for the next episode!
