Let's Quest

Hello humans! Welcome to the Let's Quest podcast! Where we dive deep into the wonderful world of board games, new and old. Every episode, I'll be sitting down with a fellow gamer to explore this awesome hobby of ours! We'll be chatting about what we've been playing lately – our wins, losses, and our post-game thoughts. After that we'll dig into a 'topic of the week', and then we'll finish off by opening The Game Master's Mailbag. That's where my guest and I help you out there find your perfect game! So.. grab a drink, take your seat and Let's Quest!

    Ep.4 - What is a 'gateway' game?

    Ep.4 - What is a 'gateway' game? In this episode, my wonderful wife, Lauren joins me to chat about what we consider a gateway game is in the hobby. Do all gateway games have to be lightweight? Do they have to be quick to play? Should you let new players win?!?  She also tells us some of her favourites that brought her into loving board game hobby. ❤️🎲   GAME MASTER'S MAILBAG Questionnaire -> https://g9hgn8f7iq3.typeform.com/to/Wo7FVFa7 Channels/Websites Mentioned - https://linktr.ee/Lets_Quest Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 00:41 Meet Lauren 16:33 Topic Of The Week: What is a Gateway game? 51:33 The Game Master's Mailbag  Video clip credits: - MTG ^ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nNuG0wx0fU - western legends ^ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbX-Wrwl27Q - mythic mischief ^ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJLhUZVNXYo - star wars rebellion ^ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stmKvAKM5TY - dice Throne ^ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=js_cZrv6cZY - sky team ^ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rBv6bvBbss - betrayal ^ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gsK6dbD0ec - station fall ^ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGeqrajj8Ls - flip 7  ^ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rd2NQpI36cg - thunder road ^ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5TZE8NzcmQ Music by Kevin MacLeod under Creative Commons License - "Voxel Revolution" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ "Space Jazz" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
