TGT On Topic 292: Top 10 BGA Games

June 28, 2022 04:49 - 1 hour - 56.5 MB

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. We promise - we're not sponsored by BGA, but we probably should be...

TGT On Topic 291: Player Count

June 21, 2022 06:38 - 1 hour - 57.5 MB

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=...

June 14, 2022 06:18 - 1 hour - 54.8 MB

TGT On Topic 287: The Deck Building Barrier

May 24, 2022 07:04 - 57 minutes - 46.8 MB

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.

TGT On Topic 285: Skill Caps

May 10, 2022 05:33 - 1 hour - 50.3 MB

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. We also draw winners for our Azul prizes. Join our discord!   Just click (or copy/paste) here: https://discord.gg/phjS78TKch Our BGA group can be found here: https://boardgamea...

TGT RPGs 284: RPGs Vs RPGs In A Box

May 03, 2022 05:48 - 1 hour - 51.8 MB

This week Spenser joins us as we compare traditional RPGs with the RPGs you may find "in a box."  In other words, a board game that's trying to simulate what a traditional RPG does.  How are they different?  Why are they different?  Why should Chris not play them alone.  And what is it about pickled eggs?

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.

April 12, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 50 MB

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 E...

TGT On Topic 290: Making Digital Board Games

April 05, 2022 04:40 - 1 hour - 59.3 MB

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://boa...

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.)

TGT On Topic 278: One and Done

March 22, 2022 06:50 - 1 hour - 51.9 MB

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...

February 15, 2022 04:45 - 1 hour - 54.9 MB

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. The puzzle book Kitty mentioned: https://www.amazon.com/Montague-Island-Mysteries-Other-Puzzles/dp/145491811X The game Fletcher talked about: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002YGIH76 And if you want to play some l...
