Chad, Ryan and Adam talk about what it takes to shepherd casual and non-gamers through the hobby to become the die-hard dice-chucking card-flipping gamers you want/need them to be! How else are you going to get TI4 to the table?

After that we talk about games we've played recently, including Tobago (with the Volcano expansion), New Frontiers, Pax Pamir, Vagrantsong, and more!

Ryan, Chad and Adam discuss the variance between different rounds of board games - specifically how the first and last round can feel and play differently from the rest of the game. Referencing a few examples we discuss good and bad takes on the issue and what our personal preferences are.

After that we discuss some recent plays, including Throw Throw Burrito, Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza, Welcome To The Moon, Roll Player Adventures, and more!

Chad finally got off his butt and edited last month's El Grande episode! Adam, Ryan and Chad discuss the recently-added-to-board-game-arena game, El Grande! See how this 26 year old area majority game holds up to today's board gaming standards as we discuss before and after playing a full game! Could the nobles on the front cover be any more sour?
