BGB Podcast #369 – The Life-Changing Magic of a Minimalist Board Game Collection

10. September 2026 um 13:23

 

 

We’re downsizing, imagining a brigher future where we don’t have hundreds of games to fret about not playing, but a very slight, extremely manageable twenty. Some say it can’t be done, but that’s never stopped us before. Before we get low, we talk about After you, Betobeto-san, Skull Queen, and Star Trek: Captain’s Chair – To Boldly Go.

Oh man, oh man, it’s time that we ask you (yes, you) to tell us (yes, us) what your favourite games are, because for one time a year, it doesn’t matter what we think about games, but you better be ready to tell us what you think about games. A lot of you did, so here it is, the listener top 20! Before we ask you to do all the work, we talk about Emberheart, Gods & Mortals, and Feya’s Swamp.

12. Februar 2026 um 12:07

 

 

All of this has happened before and will happen again. Everything comes back around, including games you could swear you’ve played before. Whether they’re remakes, reimplimentations, or rejuvenations, we’re tackling the world of board game revivals. Before what’s old is new, we talk about Agent Avenue, 7 Empires, and Stellar Ventures.

There’s any number of subtle innuendoes we could’ve gone with, but this is what we’re doing I guess. If you haven’t got there yet, we’re talking about games that aren’t just slow rides, but instead leave you gasping for more right as they climax. Before we finish, we talk about No Loose Ends, Eselsbrücke, and The Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship.

Sometimes once is enough, you know? Doesn’t mean it was bad, but it might just be that you can have too much of a good thing. We’re talking about board games that we’d recommend everyone play once, but only once. Before we hit and run, we talk about Kaivai, East India Companies, and Vantage.
