Episode 60 :: Detective City of Angels Review + Best Board Games (31-40) Oct 10, 2017

Show notes

Recorded from War Room Studios in Albuquerque, NM : 10/10/17

This episode brought to you by Tasty Minstrel Games, BoardGameTables.com, Arcane Wonders & Meeple Realty. Brandon has a little issue with a round vegetable, and Josh takes great joy in his misery. Josh pays the piper by canceling "THEN" (bets are bad, kids.). Interviews with Lance "Undead Viking" Myxter from Tasty Minstrel Games and Evan Derrick of Van Ryder Games are the highlight of this episode. We talk about our "advance screening" and present our Detective City of Angels review. Did you know that Wrigley Field was originally in Los Angeles??! We wrap up the show by listing our #31-40 favorite games... These are clearly the BEST board games (at least according to the Brawling Brothers).

Show notes

Recorded from War Room Studios in Albuquerque, NM : 7/25/17

This episode brought to you by Tasty Minstrel Games, BoardgameTables.com, and Meeple Realty - Brandon starts the show in a sticky situation before describing the golden gilded canopy bed that Heavy Cardboard allowed him to sleep in during his stay at Heavy Cardboard Headquarters. Brandon's trip to Denver involved many exciting moments including a stop at Hyperspace Arcade. Josh gives Brandon a Whisky & Scotch DATE NIGHT! We are excited to have Scott Sexton contributing written reviews to our website. "Transcend Time and Transform Your Hairline" is a great slogan that has to be used.... somewhere! Sunwarrior Protein sponsors ALL guest appearances that Isaac Childres of Cephalofair Games makes. Isaac answers some uncomfortable questions about Founders of Gloomhaven and agrees (at gunpoint, basically) to allow the Brawling Brothers to leave their mark on his newest game! We wrap up Episode 55 with a hilarious discussion about "No-No's" around the board game table.
