In our very first episode we talk about such dangerous games as:
Concordia: Venus - bringing you the terror of the mighty Roman Empire and never knowing the right time to tribune.
Tiny Towns which is so tiny you won’t even notice it creep up behind you and plunge a 4x4 grid into your back.
Arkwright - giving Elaine the heebie jeebies with it’s theme of British industrialism, a.k.a - what is it that the British have done again?
Gentes the most dangerous kind of game of all - a mediocre euro-game.

Dominant strategies can ruin a game; if there's one clear best way to win, why not use it every time? We discuss these optimal strategies, whether they're always problematic, and how to deal with them at your game table.

You have 3 more days to get in on our 2019 Kickstarter to help the Cabal continue for another year! Jump over the Kickstarter now to support! First off we talk about the Great Chicken Wing Scandal, cow manure interrupting a game day and the $160 miniature presentation. Then we give a feature review of Fantasy Flights newest game, Star Wars Outer Rim and look back at Thanos Rising one year later. After Tony T blasts the tabletop gaming news all over us, we get down and dirty with That Junkie Feeling We Feel including why we love games, what makes us back Kickstarters, collectible card games, miniatures games, and all sorts of wacky junkie rituals we do.

We humble ourselves before you, O merciful audience, so as to lay bare our sins against the gaming world. Granted we toil as rules explainers on the behalf of ungrateful vermin who do not appreciate our labours, but nonetheless we take full responsibility for mildly inconveniencing the filthy ingrates who can't be bothered to read a rulebook. We implore that these monstrously selfish demons might find it in their paltry hearts and feeble minds to grant us a little mercy. We sincerely apologize to these subhuman monsters, we truly do.

Slow down. Why're you always in such a rush? Kick off your shoes, join us on the couch and enjoy a nice, tall, refreshing ... board game. We're counting down our five favourite relaxing games, the ones we're drawn to at the end of a long game night. Before we slip into something more comfortable, we also talk about Heaven & Ale, Men At Work, and Yellow & Yangtze. 01:59 - Heaven & Ale 08:30 - Men At Work 14:08 - Yellow & Yangtze 18:18 - Tigris & Euphrates 24:50 - Our Favourite Relaxing Games 26:32 - Lanterns: The Harvest Festival 27:49 - Bärenpark 29:22 - Illusion 30:42 - Dixit 32:34 - Telestrations 34:35 - Crokinole 37:09 - Cottage Garden 38:34 - Karuba 39:54 - Rise of Augustus 41:19 - Between Two Cities 43:58 - Welcome To ... 45:00 - Red7 46:58 - Notre Dame 48:47 - Patchwork 50:15 - Camel Up
Recently, Quinns was tasked with hosting a 7 player game night, and rose to the challenge with Herculean vigour.
In this episode, Matt, Quinns and intern Kylie discuss his breathtaking efforts. That means talking about Watson & Holmes (03:00), Escape from the Aliens in Outer Space (12:14), and a little card game called Bourré (19:55). Incidentally, Bourré is probably the only time that SU&SD will ever crossover with the NBA. Afterwards, the group slims down for a chat about some 3 player games, namely Gùgōng (27:34) and Chinatown (38:30).
Finally, the team answers a quick reader mail asking what table is best for board gaming. Big or small? Square or circle? That's right! We are beyond parody.
In episode 48 of the Secret Cabal Express, Tony and Jamie dig into Quantic Foundry's new Board Game Motivation Profile tool meant to collect market research data on the motivations of board gamers found at https://apps.quanticfoundry.com.
