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.

In this episode, we chat about our Essen Spiel adventures: the mysterious kebab shop that everyone but Candice knows about, Stella & Candice reunion at Essen, and Candice discovering the secret Copenhagen airport zone—the good one.

We also accidentally design a new board game about luggage conveyor belts, celebrate being recognized by one podcast listener (we are famous now, don’t talk to us), and uncover Candice's secret plan to take over the internet with her new channel Kickin' It Creative—yes, with drums. Maybe also with ducks. We’ll see.

Tune in and enjoy the giggles, the chaos, and the kebabs, because this is Life Beyond Board Games.

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. 😅

Stella recounts meeting her favorite LitRPG authors (and realizing they’re also board gamers!), Eric shares behind-the-scenes moments from PAX West’s indie night market, and Melissa gives a first-timer’s take on surviving a full day of gaming mayhem.

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.
