1:08:22 Outro

In addition to talking about our 15 most disappoiting games of 2021, the audience weighs in with the games that broke their hearts in this extended edition of the show :)

Chris, Ruel and I tell tales of heartbreak regarding the games that let us down in 2021!

Here's the audio version of the latest Crowd Sorcery, where we're trying something a little different! :)

We've got 20 games to discuss and compare in the latest episode as I slowly keep working my way through the collection! :)

I'm very Jealous of Grant's #5 and very much agree with his #1 :)

This episode sponsored by http://perc.rahdo.com

There were some technical difficulties up front, but eventually Ruel got the biggest episode ever of R&R&R up and running, where we're joined by Kimberly and we learn about her and her tastes in boardgames and also about Nic Cage movies in this extended edition of R&R&R :)

This episode sponsored by http://perc.rahdo.com

For the first time ever, Kimberly joins us for the R&R&R show to do a countdown of the hidden gems of 2021, and I she (as well as Ruel and Chris and dare i say I) delivered! :)

Alex and I have a bunch of games to talk about today ending their runs in the next two weeks! :)

1:48:54 Spoiler: Picard Season 3?

Here we are in the extended edition of the show where Chris dives deep into the life of a working actor in Canada, there's a new This or That, and some from chitchat in addition to the top 15 :)

Ruel, Chris & I are back with a fun new topic for you to enjoy :)

Alex has got a lot more games he's found ending their campaigns soon, and I sadly say goodbye to the open road in this episode of CROWD SORCERY!

Today I'm comparing 18 awesome games and effectively eliminating half of them! Actually, it's 20 I talk about, but I couldn't decided on the final choice, so I left it as a cliffhanger! :)

As always, Grant simultaneously entertains me and tells me about games I hadn't prior heard of!

Being on the road, it helps to have friends like Might I Suggest A Game to keep all the shows coming to you, and Alex does such an amazing job of researching for CROWD SORCERY, you're sure to find a game or two that will turn your fancy. And as a bonus, I just discovered Alex and I share the same birthday! What are the chances?!?

Coming to you from the Valley of the Gods in SE Utah, here's all the games I played in the month of march, counted down from least to most favourite!

The RANKENING continues! 16 games enter, 8 games leave, and you get to learn about a few you've probably never heard of and why they're great

This episode Jen and I (and Dan King of  @TheGameBoyGeeks ) answer a LOT of questions! Please keep the ?s coming by emailing us at questions@rahdo.com :) 0:00 Sponsor segment

Oh my, jen and I are in winter wonderland at the Grand Canyon, trying to figure out our new normal, but that doesn't stop the crowd sorcery, so here's me and Alex running you through a ton of crowdfunding games ending soon :)

In addition to covid and flooding and road condition updates, I'll also compare a whole bunch of the best games ever (IMO) against each other to see what comes out on top in this on the road version of The Rankening! 

The 60th R&R&R show was about 40 minutes, but there's an extra 70 minutes of fun hijinks in this extended ep! :)

Here's a new top15 which is the first time that Ruel, Chris and I are all live together, and we had a great time even if the subject matter was a bit sad!

Grant's here once more to tell you about what makes these five games so great :)

Here's the audio version of Alex and me talking about 13 projects ending soon which translates to actually 23 individual games! :)

Doing roundups on the road is a bit tougher than normal, but still, the show must go on and here we are with just shy of 30 games to talk about for the month of February! What did you play? :)

Here's the latest version of the latest R&R where Ruel, Chris and I count down our biggest games that killed other games :)

Hey everybody, here's our 2nd episode of crowd sorcery where I'm helped out with the heavy lifting by Alex of Might I Suggest A Game! I've got 5 to talk about (really 6) and he's got 6 (really 9), so let's get to it! :)

Hey everybody, here's a bonus show for your audio enjoyment... it's all of the stuff I live streamed on Feb 14th that WASN'T me recording the rankening show or the podcast! Over an hour of gameplay and Q&A :)

It was a decade ago that I did my original top 10 engine building games list, so it's about time for an update! :)

Just over 4 hours of questions asked and answered this month!
