Tabletop Game Talk

We’ve come to the end of Season 1 of TGT.  Will it be renewed for a new season?  Nobody knows right now, it’s the ultimate cliff hanger! In the mean time though we hang out with you one last time for nearly 2 hours.  Thank you all for everything – you really are the reason we’ve made it 7 years.

This week we made lists.  Primarily of the games that we don’t think will ever leave our collections.  We made some related lists as well.  Then we came to a realization at the end…that may just change everything.  Or at the very least free up some space.

This week we, kind of, talk about how things have changed.  Or maybe we just recap the last 8 years of games.  One of those things is true or maybe a little of both…?

This week we talk about what happens when crafting meets gaming. What are some cheap ways to craft your way into a blinged out game?  Or just to make a game more playable?  Well, that’s what we talk about.  We also talk about CD burners in the post credits, go figure…

This week Chris and Fletcher talk about vampires.  Well, they barely scratch the surface about vampires anyway.  Why?  Because Chris recently bought a vampire game and it made him think about how many games there are based on vampires. So it seemed worth chatting about at least.

This week Chris has decided that we should step back from the table  and move to the couch/computer where we'll play some online role playing games.  We cover some history of the games as well as the history of the hosts with these games.  There is even an attempt to relate MMORPGs with tabletop games.

This week we talk about why games we once loved, we no longer play, nor even have interest in playing again.  This happens to most all games for most all people. (yes most all) And you don't have to be cult of the new to experience this phenomenon.  So we drill into why.  After we deal with our discord issues...

TGT Con is this weekend!  There is still time to sign up: https://tabletop.events/conventions/tgt-con-2 This week Chris rants about games with too much stuff to make them playable.  You know the kind, simple games with big boxes and tons of components that all need to be token out and setup only to be put back in their proper places after the game.  Miniatures, cards, table space, miniatures, dice, playmats, so much, too much?

This week Kitty is back, with some heavy news and a lighter topic.  Don't worry it's all good stuff.  We're talking about filler games!  And why they tend to be dismissed within the hobby as something you don't build a game night around.  But maybe we should give them a chance at the spotlight?  Or not.

Some people love it, some hate it, we talk about it.  What are the different ways games can using wagering (betting) in games and how does it change the focus of the game.  Could adding wagering to more games level the playing field between player levels by shifting the victory condition include more of knowing who is going to win and not just winning yourself?

Even if you have no interest in football at all, we think you'll still enjoy this one. Oh and there's a bonus song at the end of the episode.  To see the video (and you should) click here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoZ0bWnesYk   Join our discord, just click (or copy/paste) here: https://discord.gg/ypK2dEQXPH Our BGA group can...

Audio note: The audio in this episode isn't up to our normal standards.  Chris will explain at the beginning, that said... This week marks our 300th episode which we recorded at the end of our first TGT Con (an online con run on Discord and BGA).  We'll recap the con, announce some winners and then move on to our main topic... Comfort games.  This is one of those rare top 5 episodes.  So if you want to know what our favorite comfort games are, bare with the audio and listen on...

This week we talk about collecting...stuff.  What drives us to collect? Why must we "catch them all"?  And does everyone have the desire to collect?  Turns out it's a spectrum.  Who knew, right?

This week Sydnie joins us to talk about KeyForge and SolForge Fusion. Two unique deck games go in... who will come out on top? We don't know, but we're going to talk about where these games have been, where they are now, and where they want to go.  As a bonus, is there a place for uniqueness in more traditional board games?   https://solforgefusion.com https://keyforging.com Register for TGT Con: TGT Con Registration   Watch and subscribe to my How to BGA YouTube Channel: https://youtu.be/1_lXYSaTAdc Join our discord, just click (or copy/paste) here: https://discord.gg...

This week we accept our addiction to Board Game Arena (.com) and look at the top games on the site.  First we look at them as rated by Board Game Geek, and then we look at them by what's being played on BGA itself.  And we throw in a few that didn't make either of those lists that we really like.

This week we take a closer look at how the number of players effects the overall enjoyment of a game.  Should all games strive for max player count, or should we avoid the max whenever possible?  Is 2-4 players a myth?  How do games attempt to adjust for different player counts?  And will we ever stop talking about BGA?  (nope to that last one) Join our discord, just click (or copy/paste) here: https://discord.gg/ypK2dEQXPH Our BGA group can be found here: https://boardgamearena.com/group?id=5729425 Email feedback and contest entries to feedback [at] tabletopgametalk.com.

This week we talk about losing.  We've heard over and over that losing can be "character building" but what does that mean?  Is losing really not all that bad?  Why lose when you could win?  This one is dedicated to all you losers out there!  (In the nicest possible way, honest, this is a good one.)

This week we take a closer look at the "Living Card Games" (LCG) currently in print by Fantasy Flight Games (FFG).  Which, are all co-op games; The Lord of the Rings, Arkham Horror, and Marvel Champions.  Each host gives their first impressions of one of these games and by the end, we may just find that there's an LCG for each of us.

This week we talk about how games that require deck building (MtG, Arkham Horror The Card Game, Marvel Champions, ect.) can have a huge barrier to entry in trying and continuing to play these kinds of games.  If you're someone who loves deck building, these games are for you.  If you're not, we come up with some pretty good alternatives that can get you in the game with less friction than you might think.

This week we look at the opposite of luck: skill.  How much can you get better at games?  Some games are pure skill games, but even then your opponent(s) comes into the question.  But most games do have an amount of luck involved, so when does that start to play more of an effect than your skill?  That's the skill cap.

This week we talk about the games that we used to love but just don't play anymore and why.  And how to avoid playing out a game if that's your goal.  Is playing game out really all that bad?  Probably not, but it was fun to talk about none-the-less.

This week Fletcher leaves Chris with Kitty, who wants to talk about tie breakers and how unfair they are when they make her lose.  Or something like that.  But really, this is a fun one.  Should tie breakers exist?  What makes a good, or bad, tie breaker?  And why do they always feel like an after thought?  (spoiler: because they are) Join our discord!  Just click (or copy/paste) here: https://discord.gg/phjS78TKch Our BGA group can be found here: https://boardgamearena.com/group?id=5729425 Email feedback and contest entries to feedback [at] tabletopgametalk.com.

This week Kitty leaves Chris and Fletcher alone and they decide to talk about work.  Kind of.  They discuss what it takes to write a digital version of a board game.  But don't worry, they don't go too technical, and when they do, they back up and explain what they are talking about.  Probably.  Oh, and, software development isn't easy - $.99 isn't too much to pay :)  Join our discord!  Just click (or copy/paste) here: https://discord.gg/phjS78TKch Our BGA group can be found here: https://boardgamearena.com/group?id=5729425 Email feedback and contest entries to feedback [at] tableto...

This week we talk about board game tournaments.  Probably because we're all participating in the first ever TGT Azul tournament (being run on boardgamearena.com).  What makes a good game for tournaments?  Why might you want to play in a tournament even if you're not that good?  And will Fletcher ever win a game?  (that last one will make more sense later.)

This week we take a deep dive into why we (as a collective whole in the board gaming hobby - yes we speak for all of you) tend to play a game once and move on.  Or maybe we don't.  Maybe we play the same game over and over and Chris just has a problem.  Could go either way on this one...

This week we talk about logic "games" - or puzzles as most people would call them.  It's not really a puzzles vs. games episode at all though, instead we talk about what makes logic puzzles so interesting and why we keep playing them in spite of the fact they kind of feel like homework.

This week Fletcher is on his honeymoon, but Kitty is back (with a slightly raspier voice).  So while Fletcher is away, Chris and Kitty talk about bad players.  Pure coincidence.  So what is a bad player?  Can it be fun to be a bad player?  And do we have fun playing with or against bad players?  All that and a banter section that lasts about 15 minutes and covers all kinds of going ons.
