| Episode Name | Release Date | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 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 to... |
| BGTG 104 - Boardgame Themes (with Greg Pettit) | 05/08/2010 | 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 cards,... |
| 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 "The... |
| 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 podcasting,... |
| 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 decade... |
| 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 Kelleher... |
| BGTG 98 - Essen Anticipation 2009 | 10/19/2009 | As before, I've managed to squeeze in a show just before the Essen game fair Spiel that shares my anticipation for the event and a number of games. Nope, I'm not going there, just living vicariously through the preview information about the games about to debut at this enormous event in our hobby.... |
| BGTG 96 - Translations, Editions, and Revisions (with David Gullett) | 08/30/2009 | Let me clear about this--most of the explanation for the delay in this podcast (recorded almost two months ago) is simply that I never got around to finishing & posting it. Part of that is because the show is longer than usual--longer than fits on a CD--and I thought I wanted to edit it down... |
