Wingspan Pocket & What's on the Table (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In Episode 66, we chat about what’s on the table with a focus on mostly small box games. This episode has a mix of smaller and lighter games that we are unlikely to review on the pod; it’s basically an extended joy game episode! 00:55 Wingspan Pocket 08:36 Somnia left off at 13:22 (trick-taker) 14:30 Haunted Mouse (trick-taker) 20:01 Origin Story (trick-taker) 27:36 Bottle Imp @ 6 Players (trick-taker) 31:51 Bacon (trick-taker) 37:14 Magical Athlete 43:06 The White Castle Duel Yes, that is Clans
Clans of Caledonia & Industria expansion (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In Episode 65, we review Clans of Caledonia and its recent and only expansion, Clans of Caledonia: Industria. But, first! We chat about what is bringing us joy: Cascadia: Alpine Lakes, ASHES: Blackout Protocol, and The White Castle: Bōeki. Clans of Caledonia, published by Karma Games, is perhaps a perfect game.

Read excerpt
In Episode 64, we review Container published by Allplay. But, first! We chat about what is bringing us joy…and anti-joy: Haggis, Marrakesh, Trajan, and Sausage Sizzle!

We chat about what is bringing us joy: Hanami, Tiny Mountain Goats, playing games at Reed’s house, and Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring - Trick-taking Game. Recall is a deep strategy and action selection game for 1-4 players that plays over 13 rounds. Coming from the designers of and one of the artists of Revive, Recall is heavily influenced by Revive’s mechanics, look, and feel. We didn’t go into this episode
Top 10 Games of All Time Part 2 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
FINALLY! We discuss our individual top 10 games of all time (part 2) in Episode 62! Angela has been resisting this episode since the beginning of Board Game Homies–but we’ve finally convinced her we’ve played enough games to warrant this episode. For our top 10's, we go around the table and each of us share our game for that number. Then, we have some shock and awe, talk a bit about the games, and definitely get judgy. In this episode, we cover #5-#1! What’s your list? Who are you most aligned w
