Ep. 18 When Great Becomes Mediocre: Board Game Reviews
This week we settle back into our routine after a brief hiatus and catch up on what’s new, including some of the games we’ve been playing lately. We also touch on a hot topic in the world of aliens as scientists seem to be mysteriously disappearing before diving into the main discussion: are board game reviews too positive? We share the role of reviewers in the hobby, how Royal Dachshund Games approaches criticism, and why overhyping products can damage trust between creators and consumers. From Instagram algorithms and genuine engagement to maintaining publisher relationships while staying honest with our audience, we discuss the responsibility that comes with sharing opinions in a hobby we love.

The G.O.A.T. of Dice Rolling: Mountain Goats
This week we kick things off with Spill the Beans with Bean as we talk about Awaken Realms’ newly announced Concordia Special Edition and Board & Dice revealing their upcoming Duel game. Then we climb into our review of Mountain Goats, discussing our two player experience and why it kept reminding us of the classic push your luck gameplay found in Can’t Stop. To wrap things up, we put each other to the test with a board game mechanics themed mini game and quickly realize we may not know as much as we thought we did. 🎲🐐 Huge thanks to @AllPlay for sending us a review copy! All thoughts and opinions expressed in this episode remain fully our own.

Ep. 16 Seeds of Strategy: Àiyé
This week we take a trip down memory lane and talk about the oldest games we remember playing growing up. Then we dive into Àiyé and explore how it uses the mancala mechanism in a way that caught our attention at the table. We discuss what makes the game stand out, where it surprised us, and whether it deserves a spot in your collection. To wrap things up, Emily and Emerson put each other on the spot through multiple rounds of “This or That?” in this week’s RDG mini game. Huge thanks to @MoonSagaWorkshop for sending us a review copy! All thoughts and opinions expressed in this episode remain fully our own.
