Talking Across The Game Board Podcast

Dean and Graeme talk about the differences between a legacy and campaign game. Pretty easy right? Surprisingly figuring out what we like in each family of games ends up more difficult than expected. We end the episode with our Top 5 Legacy/Campaign games

  We all know what card games are right? Well this week Dean and Graeme have a look and see if they agree on what makes a card game. Is there a difference between card games and board games? We then finish up with our Top 5 Card Games.  

This week Dean and Graeme look at Theme. What does theme mean for us? How important is it to buy and playing games? Are there themes we stay away from, or are instant buys? We then give our top 5 Games from our favourite themes!

In this episode Graeme and Dean look at winning. Does it alter how we feel about a game? Do we feel we have to win every game? Are there times when we hold back or put extra effort? What about winning at any cost and what happens when you play against somebody who wants to win at any cost? We finish up the episode with the top 5 games we love, but generally lose at!

Moving all the old shows over to the new feed over the next several months. They will be labelled classic (Episodes 1-19). The inaugural episode of Across the Board. Since the Four Corners of the Board has gone to every three weeks, I thought a "filler" podcast might tide you over till our next regular show. I teamed up with Dean Ligget from the Board Game Buffet podcast, and we will be having a 30 minutes podcast every two weeks. We will take one topic and discuss, then finish the podcast off with a top 5 list. This week is Con Fever, and our top 5 list is top 5 games we loved at a Con, but we didn't love as much when we got them home.

It's that time of year again! Dean and Graeme look back at our picks from Essen 2017 to see how good we are at picking games. We then do our top 10 list of anticipated games from Essen 2018! Will we do any better this year! Also slight name change, we are now called "Talking Across the Game Board"

Since last episode was a bit of a negative one, we figured we'd do the opposite this time! What do we do with underwhelming games? How much sway do our family/friends/reviewers have on us going back to a game? We then proceed to our Top 5 Games That Have Gotten Better (games we used to find underwhelming, but now like)
