Friday, May 15, 2026 • Duration 22:42

What makes a difficult board gamer? Oh, only the classics: loud talkers, sulkers, interrupters, rules-ignorers, card-benders, and random strangers flipping you off over cardboard. In this episode, the gang shares battle stories from the tabletop world and proves that sometimes the rarest resource in gaming is not wood, gold, or wheat — it’s basic manners.

Board game conventions: the games! the people! the flashing lights! the constant CLACK-CLACK of dice! 🎲 For some, it’s pure cardboard heaven. For others… it’s five minutes away from hiding behind a Kallax. We share the other side of the convention, when to go out and get some fresh air, when to swap your 7 inches heels with flats, should we bring portable loo?😆 We share our thoughts and experience at gaming conventions.

We dive into the wild world of fall board game conventions — from Melbourne’s PAX Australia to Seattle’s PAX West and the massive Essen Spiel in Germany. Expect chaotic stories about dice-throwing raves, false board game cons and more... oh, and the occasional chlamydia-ridden drop bear / koala. 😅

Episode 19 - How to Find Adult Friends Through Board Gaming... Maybe a Husband / Wife.

Season 1 · Episode 19

Friday, October 3, 2025 • Duration 23:09

In today’s bite-sized chaos, we explained how to find adult friends in 3 legacy chapters:
1. Tutorial: Find random people at board game public meetup. Roll charisma and reroll awkward.
(yes or no)
2. Campaign : If yes, invite the fun humans to your home for further board gaming.
(find out more interesting things and maybe you're slightly attracted to the person)
3. Legacy Unlock: Get married to them. (please fill the gaps between step 2 and 3)
Or maybe just find friends with similar interest. Beats all other online dating apps! Solo mode still valid.
