| #371: Essen SPIEL 2026 Hype List | 08 Oct 2026 | 01:12:24 | |
We're not going to Essen, and frankly, may never, but that won't stop us from wishing we were going. From the mountain of games we won't get to play in person, we've mined for the diamonds that we think you should keep your eyes on. Before we get to digging, we talk about Hanami, Brink, and Railway Boom. 02:14 - Hanami Get added to the BGB community map at: Send us topic ideas at: Check out our wiki at: Join the discussion at: Join our Facebook group at: Get a Board Game Barrage T-shirt at: | |||
| #370: On Brand | 24 Sep 2026 | 00:55:01 | |
It's a designer spotlight, which means we're turning the focus away from us, and putting it on some prestigious designers instead! This week it's Inka and Markus Brand, whose story apparently has a whole enemies to lovers angle I did not see coming. Before we power duet, we talk about Party House: The Deckbuilding Game, Land and Freedom: The Spanish Revolution and Civil War, and Baba Is You: The Board Game. 01:50 - Party House: The Deckbuilding Game Get added to the BGB community map at: Send us topic ideas at: Check out our wiki at: Join the discussion at: Join our Facebook group at: Get a Board Game Barrage T-shirt at: | |||
| #369: The Life-Changing Magic of a Minimalist Board Game Collection | 10 Sep 2026 | 00:55:15 | |
We're downsizing, imagining a brighter future where we don't have hundreds of games to fret about not playing, but a very slight, extremely manageable twenty. Some say it can't be done, but that's never stopped us before. Before we get low, we talk about After you, Betobeto-san, Skull Queen, and Star Trek: Captain's Chair - To Boldly Go. 01:53 - After you, Betobeto-san Get added to the BGB community map at: Send us topic ideas at: Check out our wiki at: Join the discussion at: Join our Facebook group at: Get a Board Game Barrage T-shirt at: | |||
| #368: I Will Always Love You | 27 Aug 2026 | 01:04:28 | |
We love a good old game - there are a lot that of games over a decade old that we'd happily sing the praises of, but if we were being brutally honest, how many of them do we think would make it in today's markets? How much have tastes really moved on since these games were in their prime? Before we let nostalgia get the better of us, we talk about I'm Out, Evenglow, and Trials of Maya. 03:08 - I'm Out Get added to the BGB community map at: Send us topic ideas at: Check out our wiki at: Join the discussion at: Join our Facebook group at: Get a Board Game Barrage T-shirt at: | |||
| #367: One vs. Many | 13 Aug 2026 | 00:58:33 | |
We play a lot of games. Which is great, because a lot of games get made, and we get to play them ... but it does come at the cost of always having to learn (and teach) something new, grappling with rules, and gets in the way of enjoying the game. Would it be better if we just devoted ourselves to one game? Before we join a Mahjong club, we talk about Wingspan Pocket, Greylune, and Marrakesh. 01:53 - Wingspan Pocket Vote for your favorite (and least favorite!) parts of our list at: Get added to the BGB community map at: Send us topic ideas at: Check out our wiki at: Join the discussion at: Join our Facebook group at: Get a Board Game Barrage T-shirt at: | |||

We're back to collaborate (and listen) to figure out together what the best games of 2017 were. Are? It's a collaborative draft, and if you haven't heard one of these before, get ready for an honest to goodness mess. Before we draw up treaties, we talk about Prosciutto and Melon Game, and Steel Driver. 03:00 - Prosciutto and Melon Game Vote for your favorite (and least favorite!) parts of our list at: Get added to the BGB community map at: Send us topic ideas at: Check out our wiki at: Join the discussion at: Join our Facebook group at: Get a Board Game Barrage T-shirt at: | |||

Gen Con is Gen Coming, so we're looking in our wizard's glasses to tell you what's what. Whether you're going or not, you're gonna want to know what the hot games are, and we've got you covered. Before we Indianapolize, we talk about Koinobori, Compania, and Mood Swings. 02:32 - Koinobori Get added to the BGB community map at: Send us topic ideas at: Check out our wiki at: Join the discussion at: Join our Facebook group at: Get a Board Game Barrage T-shirt at: | |||
| #364: Mechanism Matchup | 02 Jul 2026 | 01:10:18 | |
There are two board game mechanisms you just can't escape, they're on everyone's mind, flooding the discourse. That's combat, and card draw mitigation. Everyone won't stop talking about them. So we had to weigh in too, not just with what we feel are the best examples of games that have done them best, but some other quirky takes on them too. Before we mitigate our card draws, we talk about Rolling Deep, Eureka!, dnup, and Grinivil. 03:59 - Rolling Deep Get added to the BGB community map at: Send us topic ideas at: Check out our wiki at: Join the discussion at: Join our Facebook group at: Get a Board Game Barrage T-shirt at: | |||
| #363: The Dark Depths of Mailbag | 18 Jun 2026 | 01:00:34 | |
It's been a while since we've plumbed the depths of the bottomless chasm we call "fanmail", so this week we're reaching our hands as far as we can and pulling out some questions that have yet to see the light of say. Before we dig too greedily and too deep, we talk about Politrickers, Marvel Champions: The Card Game, and Banana Governance. 02:19 - Politrickers Get added to the BGB community map at: Send us topic ideas at: Check out our wiki at: Join the discussion at: Join our Facebook group at: Get a Board Game Barrage T-shirt at: | |||
| #362: Hot Takes About Board Games | 04 Jun 2026 | 00:57:58 | |
The people demand takes, so get 'em while they're hot. We're weighing in on some possibly bad, certainly edgy opinions, and deciding where we land (spoiler: we're always right). Before we get heated, we talk about Diplomacy: The Golden Blade, and Cozy Stickerville. 01:46 - Diplomacy: The Golden Blade Get added to the BGB community map at: Send us topic ideas at: Check out our wiki at: Join the discussion at: Join our Facebook group at: Get a Board Game Barrage T-shirt at: | |||
| #361: Collaborative Draft: Games of 2016 | 21 May 2026 | 01:07:44 | |
We had such fun collaboratively coming up with our definitive Top 50 list back in December, that we've decided to do it again. In the spirit of award season, we're celebrating the games of yesteryear, or yester-ten-years to be precise. It's the definitive best games of 2016, as decided cooperatively by us! Before we come together, we talk about Shady Lady, In the Shadows: Resistance in France 1943 - 1944, and Duel for Cardia. 03:02 - Shady Lady Get added to the BGB community map at: Send us topic ideas at: Check out our wiki at: Join the discussion at: Join our Facebook group at: Get a Board Game Barrage T-shirt at: | |||
| #360: Guessing Golden Geeks Galore | 07 May 2026 | 00:59:15 | |
It's long been said that we're the foremost experts in knowing which way the awards winds blow, so we're putting our talents to use guessing, nay, predicting, nay, deciding who the winners in the Golden Geeks are going to be. Before we geek out, we talk about Chronicles of Crime: 2400, Quarto, and Shackleton Base: A Journey to the Moon. 04:07 - Chronicles of Crime: 2400 Travel Games UK: Get added to the BGB community map at: Send us topic ideas at: Check out our wiki at: Join the discussion at: Join our Facebook group at: Get a Board Game Barrage T-shirt at: | |||
| #359: Top Brass | 23 Apr 2026 | 00:59:07 | |
There are big spiky moments that happen in the meta that is the board game hobby, and the Brass: Pittsburgh crowdfunding campaign feels like one of them. It is after all, a successor to the #1 ranked game on BGG. That's something! Enough so that it sent Mark into a bit of an existential spiral, and we're here to talk him down. Before we catch a falling Wallace, we talk about Hummingbirds, Fendo, and Soothsayers. 06:59 - Hummingbirds Get added to the BGB community map at: Send us topic ideas at: Check out our wiki at: Join the discussion at: Join our Facebook group at: Get a Board Game Barrage T-shirt at: | |||
| #358: Our Listeners' Top 20 Board Games of All-Time 2026 | 09 Apr 2026 | 01:01:46 | |
Oh man, oh man, it's time that we ask you (yes, you) to tell us (yes, us) what your favourite games are, because for one time a year, it doesn't matter what we think about games, but you better be ready to tell us what you think about games. A lot of you did, so here it is, the listener top 20! Before we ask you to do all the work, we talk about Emberheart, Gods & Mortals, and Feya's Swamp. 01:30 - Emberheart Get added to the BGB community map at: Send us topic ideas at: Check out our wiki at: Join the discussion at: Join our Facebook group at: Get a Board Game Barrage T-shirt at: | |||

We made it back in one piece, and all told I think we did pretty well! We got through a heck of a lot of what we wanted to play, and we're here to tell you all about it - including Dark Pact, Totally Human, and Banana Governance, and more! 02:36 - Totally Human Get added to the BGB community map at: Send us topic ideas at: Check out our wiki at: Join the discussion at: Join our Facebook group at: Get a Board Game Barrage T-shirt at: | |||
| #356: On the Road Again | 12 Mar 2026 | 00:47:34 | |
By the time you're listening to this, we're probably already in Vegas for Dice Tower West! We're going to hang about all day playing games - which naturally leads to the question of what we're going to play? These are the games we came up with! Before we bite off more than we can chew, we talk about Ghost Lift, Cities, and I, Napoleon. 02:31 - Ghost Lift Get added to the BGB community map at: Send us topic ideas at: Check out our wiki at: Join the discussion at: Join our Facebook group at: Get a Board Game Barrage T-shirt at: | |||
| #355: Anticipation Auction: Games of 2026 | 26 Feb 2026 | 01:21:04 | |
I think it's fair to say that we crushed this last year (although some of us better than others), so it's only correct and right that we should return to do it again. What are the best games of 2026 going to be? Well, only we know, but we're willing to part with that information. Get your fat stacks ready. Before we set ourselves up for failure, we talk about Alibis, Mosaic: A Story of Civilization, and Cyclades: Legendary Edition. 03:02 - Alibis Get added to the BGB community map at: Send us topic ideas at: Check out our wiki at: Join the discussion at: Join our Facebook group at: Get a Board Game Barrage T-shirt at: | |||
| #354: Don't Call It a Comeback | 12 Feb 2026 | 00:58:51 | |
All of this has happened before and will happen again. Everything comes back around, including games you could swear you've played before. Whether they're remakes, reimplimentations, or rejuvenations, we're tackling the world of board game revivals. Before what's old is new, we talk about Agent Avenue, 7 Empires, and Stellar Ventures. 02:24 - Agent Avenue Get added to the BGB community map at: Send us topic ideas at: Check out our wiki at: Join the discussion at: Join our Facebook group at: Get a Board Game Barrage T-shirt at: | |||
| #353: Getting it Just Right | 29 Jan 2026 | 00:47:07 | |
Sometimes you know the type of game you want to play, just not exactly which game quite fits the bill. Is that heavy Euro too heavy? That deck builder not builder-y enough? Before we sit down with Goldilocks, we talk about Rise and Fall, and JOYRIDE: Survival of the Fastest. 01:09 - Rise and Fall Get added to the BGB community map at: Send us topic ideas at: Check out our wiki at: Join the discussion at: Join our Facebook group at: Get a Board Game Barrage T-shirt at: | |||
| #352: Combined Top 50 Games of All-Time 2025 Draft: 10-1 | 15 Jan 2026 | 00:57:16 | |
Well, we started this thing, so I guess we ought to finish it, as ill-advised as that might be. This is where all the chickens come home to roost, where we learn how badly we've set ourselves up to fail - but you never know, it might just all work out!

Happy new year! We're back to continue the very peaceful, collaborative, kind endeavour that is coming together to harmoniously assemble our top 50 games. It's been nothing but chill, friendly vibes, and we expect that to continue into 2026.

Okay, things are a bit different this year. In honour of our 350th episode (a very important milestone), we're going to combine forces, like ... Voltron.

Remember way back at the beginning of the year when we took some bets on what we thought the games of the year were gonna be? Well, all those good and bad decisions are back to help or haunt us, as we tally up where things stand with the end of the year results. Before we find a winner, we talk about Wriggle Roulette, Whale Street, and Scales of Fate. 04:45 - Wriggle Roulette Get added to the BGB community map at: Send us topic ideas at: Check out our wiki at: Join the discussion at: Join our Facebook group at: Get a Board Game Barrage T-shirt at: | |||

Somehow Ghost Turkey returned. And you never saw it coming! That might be because we forgot to remind people that it's Thanksgiving, but never mind that, the important thing is you're fools.

BGBBOB is back, and it's been long enough that you might need a reminder. Ten game designers enter the ring, and through the arduous process of one vs one battles, we arrive at our (and not just our, but the) definitive ranked list of ... these particular designers. It's science. Before we fight it out, we talk about Iliad, The Old King's Crown, and Franchise. 03:29 - Iliad Get added to the BGB community map at: Send us topic ideas at: Check out our wiki at: Join the discussion at: Join our Facebook group at: Get a Board Game Barrage T-shirt at: | |||
| #346: It's One Bananagrams, How Much Could It Cost? | 30 Oct 2025 | 00:50:39 | |
This episode is not about Bananagrams (at least, I don't think so), but it is about the price of things (though not Bananagrams specifically, shut up about Bananagrams). In a world where everything costs more, we're talking about the value of games, and how far a game has to go to justify its price. Before we decide if the price is right, we talk about The Presence, and River of Gold. 02:08 - The Presence Get added to the BGB community map at: Send us topic ideas at: Check out our wiki at: Join the discussion at: Join our Facebook group at: Get a Board Game Barrage T-shirt at: | |||

Not perturbed by Kellen's trip to Germany, we're all daydreaming about the motherlode of board game conventions, Essen SPIEL. There's a lot of games coming to the show, and because we're not going, and presumably you aren't either, we'll just tell you what's going to be there instead! The good stuff, anyway.

Dreaded continuity! We're following up Episode 41 from seven years ago about the games that started our love for board games! After those first loves, what really got our hearts aflutter with the joy that the hobby had to offer?

There's any number of subtle innuendoes we could've gone with, but this is what we're doing I guess. If you haven't got there yet, we're talking about games that aren't just slow rides, but instead leave you gasping for more right as they climax. Before we finish, we talk about No Loose Ends, Eselsbrücke, and The Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship.

Are board games best played multiplayer? Who can say, but whether it's because you can't get people together at the appropriate time, or you're just itching to play something on your lonesome, there's a burgeoning scene of solo games out there waiting to be played, and we're going to talk about them. Well, some of us are, anyway.

Sometimes once is enough, you know? Doesn't mean it was bad, but it might just be that you can have too much of a good thing. We're talking about board games that we'd recommend everyone play once, but only once. Before we hit and run, we talk about Kaivai, East India Companies, and Vantage. 01:44 - Kaivai Get added to the BGB community map at: Send us topic ideas at: Check out our wiki at: Join the discussion at: Join our Facebook group at: Get a Board Game Barrage T-shirt at: | |||

| #336: Happy Little Accidents | 12 Jun 2025 | 00:55:25 | |
When playing games it's easy to fall into the trap of over-anaylsing turns, or questioning whether the move we made was the right one, or even allowing people to roll back whole turns - so we're asking if maybe we've been wrong this whole time, and we should just ... embrace it? Are mistakes interesting?

| #334: Nothing's Done It Better | 15 May 2025 | 00:51:32 | |
Well, we finally did it. We played CATAN, and it was ... good! And then we started wondering, is there anything that's done quite the same thing that that game is doing? And then that got us wondering how many games there are like that, where it's genuinely hard to say that nothing has done it better since. And then that got us wondering if, instead of all this wondering, we should record a podcast episode. Before we wander, we talk about Box Two, Catan: Cities & Knights, and An Infamous Traffic. 02:47 - Box Two Get added to the BGB community map at: Send us topic ideas at: Check out our wiki at: Join the discussion at: Join our Facebook group at: Get a Board Game Barrage T-shirt at: | |||

I would say that, for the most part, there's very little we won't play - but we also know what we like, and especially what we don't like. Every so often a game gets suggested that we have to say "literally anything but" to. Before we pass hard, we talk about TRICKTAKERs, Iquazú, and Hubworld: Aidalon. 02:49 - TRICKTAKERs Get added to the BGB community map at: Send us topic ideas at: Check out our wiki at: Join the discussion at: Join our Facebook group at: Get a Board Game Barrage T-shirt at: | |||

We've spent a lot of time over the years singing the praises of the games we love, but they can't be perfect right? Surely there's something, one little thing, that bugs us - a small blemish in our otherwise most beloved games?

I'm not sure why you'd make a hall of fame that's not also a sidewalk, but that's exactly what BoardGameGeek have gone and done - they've curated 25 games into their hall of fame, and we're here to judge them for their choices.
