Darwin's Journey is the game we are discussing this time and let me tell you (SPOILER ALERT) it is amazing! This game as the pedigree of a great game experience starting with the designers, Luciani and Mangone. Production values are of at the top of the charts from Thundergryph Games. Darwin's Journey makes worker placement so much more. Find out what we loved about it and (if there is anything) what we didn't. We appreciate all feedback and thank you for listening!

We recently attended our first BGGCON and we wanted to share our thoughts.  How did it compare to our current favorite game convention, GeekWay to the West? Were we thirsty the whole time we were there? Where we afraid to leave our gaming spot for fear of never finding one again?  Listen and find our answers to those questions and many more!  Thank you for listening and let us know what you think of BGGCON if you have been or let us know of a convention that you love or think we might like.  Keep gaming!

We talk about our thoughts on the social misgivings of trolls and how they treat humans, wait no we are talking about how trolls are caretakers of human babies.  No wait we are talking about how we are interior designers for princesses.  Ummm, no.  We are talking about Trolls & Princesses the BOARD GAME.  This worker "movement" game is all about building out your cave, to make it spacious enough to house all the bells and princesses you are going to steal.  This game is simplistic but deceptively tricky at the same time and it is gorgeous to look at to boot!  Thank you for listening, we appreciate it!

We have a slightly different podcast this week.  We are giving our first impressions on Apiary.  We wanted to talk about this game but haven't had enough plays for us to really go into great depth so we just ramble on about what we liked and didn't like about Apiary.  (I mostly rambled, wait they don't know who "I" am.  Oh well) Thanks for listening!

Sanssouci, the game of making nobles stroll through various different landscapes.  Well that may be a bit of over simplification BUT you do do that!  Seriously this game is a great tile laying game, that in our opinion is equal part route building.  See if we think this game is a keeper or not.  Thanks, as always, for listening and downloading our podcast :)

We are talking about are new favorite 1v1 duel card game.  This game is an engine builder at it's core, with some card drafting mixed in.   This game plays fast like you will be mid way through the game and then in a couple of turns you will be out of life points!  I know this from experience.  Oh and I didn't even mention one of the best parts of the game and that is the art on the cards, so gorgeous!  Hope you enjoy us gushing over just how good this game is.  Thanks for listening!!
