In JP's last run of episodes as first player he gets to chat about expansion theory, not the ever increasing debate about our expansion of the universe but the other main one which is expansions to base board games.
FIRST PLAYER: JP
OTHER PLAYERS: Tambo, Becky & Adrian
OVERVIEW
It's JP's last episode of his run before handing the first player token to Davey and it's time to talk about JP's reputation in buying expansions and exploring the various types and rationale behind them. In this episode you'll learn:

Openers: Mark - BGTG Madness! Greg - LLAMA on BGA
@Gregarius
Longtime friend of the podcast Greg Pettit returns to talk about thrifting boardgames. What is that? It's a hobby-within-a-hobby about finding used games at thrift shops, garage sales, and other sources of secondhand titles. To get good results you should be dedicated to doing this, checking locations regularly because on any given day there's likely to be nothing good. However, from time to time you may be fortunate enough to find a game you'd love to add to your own collection, or else one that you could use for parts. If you're like me when I used to do this, you're happy to sell the game on ebay, BGG Geekmarket, Facebook Marketplace, or some other venue...and then use the proceeds to buy other games. :-) Greg tells about the thrifters guild here on BGG, TheThriftyGamer.net website/utility, and the vicarious thrill and congratulations that go on regularly through the Thrift Finds of the Week. For some serious thrifters, they acquire more games than they can really utilize, so what they like to do is give them away to good homes. Isn't that cool? Related to that concept is the notion of the Thrifty Secret Santa annual gift exchange. Greg stepped in to run this over a decade ago, and has been doing it ever since with the assistance of some helper "elves." It's a wonderful tradition where games are exchanged for the holidays, but no one buys anything. In particular, no one send a gift just by clicking an order button online from a wishlist. Instead, used games are being exchanged from the heart, often accompanied with a lot of personal craftsmanship and care in the gift-giving. I have yet to participate myself, being content to watch from the sidelines as people enjoy the sending and receiving. But with some encouragement and demystification from Greg, perhaps podcast listeners and I may want to be a part of it next year.

As employers, we gamers are a strange lot. We are expected to feed our workers, house them, give them their raw materials; we tell them where to go, when to work,a nd for how long; we subject them to fires, predation, starvation... and on top of all this, in some games we appear to confiscate all their wages! At least in Food Chain Magnate we occasionally allow them to go to the beach. Under strict supervision. Until we permit them the sweet release of death. I mean, until they "retire." Yeah, that sounds better.

Join Dan, Mitch and Adrian on Episode 231 as the lads debrief the Brisbane Game Day, discuss the big difference one fewer player can make in some games, we entertain more family friendly games, and we are perplexed over Sarah's scrambled egg paradox. In Sizzling Games, Adrian has been wildly winning wacky wagers, Mitch has been driving dice down in Detroit, and Dan has been fleeing from freaky foes in the forest.
We also recap last week's Question of the Pod: What's your favourite game where players make it great? Thanks to everyone who contributed and shared their experiences with us on Discord and the Facebook Community.
Finally, in Swear An Oath, Dan and Mitch encountered difficulties getting Weather Machine to the table, but Adrian managed to take a break from teaching games and enjoyed being the student for a change. New oaths include Motor City (Dan), Vindication (Adrian), Final Girl S2 (Mitch).
