The Sphinx eyes you with a cunning smirk, "If you are so wise human, then answer me this: what has four rules in morning, twelve thousand rules in the afternoon, and three rules at night?" Without a moments hesitation you respond: "A board gamer! A board gamer starts on Catan, devolves into madness with Lacerta, and becomes grounded once more in Knizia!" The Sphinx affirms that you have the correct answer but doesn't appreciate your gatekeepy tone. They gobble you up in a single bite.

New game idea, shake the hands of as many former presidents as possible while being completely nude. Standard handshake is 1 vp. Fist bump is 2vp. Partially nude does NOT receive any partial points. You might be thinking, "this is a bad idea," to which I would respond, "have you tried it?" And you would respond "yes, and it didn't end well," to which I would respond, "but have you tried it more than once?"

Imagine just being absolute trash. Like get good. I was playing blindfolded and my little brother was holding the controller and there was glare on my screen and I wasn't sitting in my gaming chair and I was using a Wiimote that didn't even have the nunchuck instead of my state of the art Logitech mouse. Some folks just don't know how to take an L am I right?

We're tired... so tired. Tired of eating all these meeples. They all taste the same, sawdusty and hard. Give us something to crunch on with a little kick. Maybe put some gochujang sauce on there or a little truffle oil. In the meantime, we'll go back to swallowing a granola of Everdell berries and Azul tiles.

Sometimes I rub the cardboard tokens of my new games against the cement on my street to make them look like they've been played to death. They just end up looking like they got run over by a cheese grater, but hey, what matters is the satisfaction of saying I'm just better than anyone else that buys new games and plays them right out of the box. Turns out you can also just buy used games. Although, oftentimes they will still come with components that look pristine. In the unfortunate circumstances where my used games come too new, at least I'll be rubbing tokens on the cement for a fraction of the cost.

Don't let the title mislead you. Despite having played a ton of solo-focused games in preparation, Kenny and Tom elect to mostly argue about whether or not Pandemic is a good game. I'd tell you more about it, but I just realized you're just a figment of my imagination. Why must I hurt myself repeatedly? There is no audience... I am but a speck in a simulationist void...

I give up. Tom is better at games, and he has a better podcasting voice, AND he's got sexier abs. What even is the point?

We got one HUNDRED games for you, hot off the griddle ready to eat. Pop them in the microwave for 3-5 minutes. If they each cost a dollar and you had a $100 dollar bill, you'd be able to purchase every one of these games and try them out. But they don't cost a dollar, so I guess good luck?

A little birdie told me that in Canada, games come in bags. Here in USA, we're all about those boxes. Boxes, boxes, and more boxes. Join us as we think a bit outside of the... um.. realm of what we usually think of, and come up with some interesting insights about game display and packaging.

Blublublub, quick! HELP. Kenny is podcasting underwater and he needs your help to get back on land. Prep your ears for the devastating misclick that is selecting the Occulus Rift mic a full 5 feet away instead of the microphone on Kenny's head. WIP folks, we'll have it fixed for next week. Thanks for bearing with things as we learn to be just a little bit better, and thanks for listening.
