In episode 3 of Positively Board Gaming, Jamey Stegmaier and Mitchell Whitfield go deep on the show’s mission: celebrating joy, inclusion, and positivity in the tabletop gaming hobby. Mitchell explains why you’ll never hear them bash a board game on this podcast—and why that’s intentional. From expectations in art to how criticism can unintentionally silence conversation, they share their philosophy of respecting the creators and communities behind every game. Then, it’s on to Jamey’s recent intergenerational game night and some excellent picks that shine in all-ages settings, like Caution Signs, Boop, and Nekojima. Mitchell shares how his tastes are evolving and the ever-growing list of party and cooperative games he’s getting excited to explore. Plus, they talk about the board game delivery tsunami that seems to always hit after Chinese New Year, why expectations shape experience, and how much more fun it is to talk about what you love. 🎲 Whether you're a long-time gamer or just board game curious, this episode is a heartwarming reminder of why we play in the first place. 💬 Quotes "It may not be for me, but someone poured their heart into it. I’d never want to tear that down publicly." – Mitchell Whitfield 🔗 Relevant Links Stonemaier Games YouTube Channel
