BGA Episode 104 - Game Mechanics that Only Work in a Perfect World Jul 24, 2016

Show notes

For this special pre-Gen Con episode of Board Gamers Anonymous, Chris and Anthony sit down to discuss some of the brilliant game mechanics that really only work in a perfect world. From rules that people always break (intentionally or otherwise), to those they can't follow, there are some game systems that just don't work very well except under ideal circumstances.

We're also talking about some of the big news in the gaming hobby, including Dice Tower Award winners, Spiel des Jahres nominees, Gen Con, and our recording schedule.

Acquisition Disorders this episode include:

Martians: A Story of Civilization
Cry Havoc
Burano
Smash Up: Cease and Desist
Mysterium: Hidden Signs

And At the Table this week, we got a chance to play and review:

Zombicide: Black Plague
Lancaster
Porta Nigra
Scythe

Enjoy the episode! And make sure to leave us a review on iTunes - we love to hear what you think!

BGA Episode 99 - Tabletop Madness: February Frenzy 2016 Feb 29, 2016

Show notes

Tabletop Madness is back and this year we're doing things a bit different. We've taken 64 of the top rated games of 2015 and put them into regions of our bracket based on theme. We then voted them down one at a time (sometimes with the help of our infamous blue die) to choose the game that best embodied its theme as a game.

Listen to hear which games we considered the most thematic and best fit what they were trying to do in their execution in this year's Tabletop Madness!

And make sure to tune in for our next episode, number 100. We have a big episode planned, coming March 27th! Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, BoardGameGeek, Patreon, and on our website BoardGamersAnonymous.com to learn more.
