Saison 2 · Épisode 5

mardi 5 décembre 2023 • Durée 03:47:31

Welcome to Season 2 Episode 5 where Thomas starts us off with a quick update on his 365 Play Challenge. We follow this with a discussion about how we believe there is a board game out here for everyone. Of course, this positivity can only last so far before Jordan and Thomas devolve into rants about the Canadian market for board games, shipping, duty, brokerage, and Amazon Prime.

Jordan gives us an update on his Dungeons and Dragons campaign which leads us into talking about Vampire: The Masquerade. Back into board gaming Jordan talks Takenoko before quickly running through some of the other games he's been playing. Never too far from the mic, Thomas brings the discussion to his journey back into Chess, Something Wild!, and Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza.

S2E4 - Raiders, Raiders, and Vampire Hunters!

Saison 2 · Épisode 4

mardi 17 octobre 2023 • Durée 02:52:41

In episode 4 of season 2 Jordan starts us off with the amazing charity efforts of Stonemaier Games. Thomas brings the conversation to chess and how he was crushed by Canadian FIDE (fee-day) International Master (IM) Mark Plotkin. He then transitions into his thrift store find of Embers of Memory: A Throne of Glass Game and his disappointment with the rule book. Both host talk briefly about using board games as math tools with Kingdoms by Reiner Knizia and a short while later Sagrada by Adrian Adamescu and Daryl Andrews. Finally, Thomas brings up his 30 plays of Under Falling Skies and how he wanted to love this title but was spoiled on it due to the randomness of the dice.

Jordan was eventually able to get a word in and talks about getting Quacks of Quedlinburg to the table with his family before lamenting about another title in the publisher CMYK library Lacuna. Unfortunately, Lacuna is only available on the publishers' website so it is not available to us here in Canada. As promised in the last episode, Jordan gets a solo play of Paladins of the West Kingdom. From Paladins Jordan moves into playing Wingspan with his wife. We finish off the Other Plays portion of the episode with a rant about Jordan's Expeditions Playmat and how it was damaged due to poor packaging methods at the manufacturing level. Timestamps:

CP - Bonus Episode: How to Approach a New Game

Saison 2 · Épisode 3

jeudi 5 octobre 2023 • Durée 48:50

In this bonus episode Thomas and Jordan sit down to discuss how they approach a new game to try to win and avoiding floundering.

S2E3: Loyang, Yamataï, Godfather, Paladins

Saison 2 · Épisode 3

mardi 26 septembre 2023 • Durée 03:55:45

This lengthy episode sees our hosts go off on several tangents while trying to discuss the games they've played this month. Thomas has been deep into campaign game mode with Jaws of the Lion and didn't have huge list, but Jordan made up for it with a larger list than usual. We talk Expeditions again, but this time we talk about playing the game at 5 players as well as Solo. Then we do a bit of a deep dive into Rising Sun in our Other Plays section. Jordan goes on one more rant about Stonemaier Games accessories and the announcement of Apiary before we jump into our Current Plays in which Jordan can't find the words to describe his games and Thomas saves the day.

mardi 15 août 2023 • Durée 02:59:30

We're back with another episode of the Current Plays Podcast! And with it, we're bringing back the banter with a discussion on Dueling Card Games, specifically, Radlands and Mind Bug. Thomas dives into a lengthy list of his Other Plays for July and Jordan brings some old classics back to the table. After that, it's out with the old and in with the new... Warhammer that is. We talk about our first (and only) game of the new edition of Warhammer 40,000. We follow that up with a replay of Dice Throne Adventures, Nothing Personal, Welcome to the Moon, and a small prototype game from a local hobby designer called Blackbeard's Bluff. Finally, we cap it off with a look at popular classic that we had never played before: The Castles of Burgundy.

Current Plays - E25 - Warhammer 40K

Saison 1 · Épisode 25

mardi 27 juin 2023 • Durée 01:54:59

Episode 25 is finally here and Jordan and Thomas are so stoked to talk about all things Warhammer 40,000 by Games Workshop.

With some clever editing skills Jordan sets the theme with a chilling intro into the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Instead of moving on to the Other Plays both hosts can't hold their excitement in to talk about Warhammer. Finally, trying to get back on track Jordan brings up the game Fort and getting it to the table with his family. Wait a minute didn't we already discuss this last episode? Not to worry Thomas tries to salvage the conversation with a story about Welcome to the Moon. Except... yup you guessed it, we already talked about this last week as well! Finally, we get onto new topics with the mobile board games Jordan picked up on sale including numerous playthroughs of Sagrada. Thomas switches gears back into Welcome to the Moon but this time on trying out the Campaign. To finish off the Other plays segment Thomas talks Bohnanza and playing it with his eldest son Benjamin.

For our Current Play, and with patience to resist talking about it finally reaching its breaking point we discuss Warhammer 40,000.

Current Plays - E24 - Scythe Expansions

Saison 1 · Épisode 24

samedi 24 juin 2023 • Durée 02:29:55

This weeks episode sees Jordan and Thomas discussing the Scythe Expansions.

We begin the episode with some housekeeping podcast updates. With that out of the way Jordan talks getting Fort to the table with his family. Thomas moves on to playing Downforce at his office before switching gears into his weekend visit with his brother and family. No weekend is complete without games being played and Thomas gets an introduction to Everdell with the Spirecrest expansion. He finishes off the weekend by convincing his wife to stop at a local game shop in Toronto to pick up the game Welcome to the Moon. It doesn't take long for Thomas to get plays in the double digits with this title including getting it played with his kids and his non-gamer wife.

For our Current Play, we discuss the expansions for Scythe.
