With the rise of “prediction markets,” sports can just be big bidding/betting board games(…)!

Some obligations are wrapping up in a bit, so I'm quite excited to getting into a little bit better rhythm here soon.

There's some obvious bias to this statement, but I think the show is really doing some unique things—all the guests are great and just roll with it. I couldn't be happier.

The past six-ish months have STILL had six amazing guests and episodes.

@ruelgaviola.com
@raybird.bsky.social
@alex.cmyk.games
@tombrewster.bsky.social
@tricktaking.bsky.social

And the other ~forty guests in the last few years have been absolutely spectacular as well.

giving it a rating and/or comments, sharing, sending me a message, or doing anything else would be extremely appreciated!
2026 was been 'eh' (at best), so, even though the number of episodes has been pretty limited, I'm really doing everything I can to pour as much as I can into each episode.

If you've listened to an episode of the show, and it's made you happy, sad, goofy feeling, generally perplexed, or any noteworthy emotion that's not too troubling, it'd mean a lot if you considered giving the show a vote on BGG.

Any support by way of a 'nom' here,

Have been waiting for this one for a long time.
Obvious pre-order.

No particular order

Not sure if this is the most flattering picture from the race, but it’s definitely not the worst.

Overall time and various rankings.

It’s been a rough week (/month/2026 in general).
But at least I picked up a PR today!

I was going to repost this, but will refrain (for now) to avoid the singularity 😅

Have a bunch of games queued up for a group of six tonight.
O/U 3 getting played?

Side note: the word queue simultaneously charms me and trips me up every time I try to type it

Ordered the other day and looking forward to this episode!

Applicable.

Congratulations! Was in the middle of some work before and almost forgot—glad I caught this post :)

I still need the HD picture!

#44 - Tom Brewster: Board Games, Board Games, and… Chip Cat Breach

@tombrewster.bsky.social joins the show to take on the (second) hottest new roguelike, “Chip Cat Breach.”

With different challenges, meta-construction of the game in real time, and an all around great conversation, this is a wild ride you don’t want to miss.

heartwarming, melancholy, and a whole range of emotions.

There is a bunch of board game media that I love; Amabel’s work is at the top of that list.

GRAVITY IS FREE: the games of René Soriano YouTube video by Hollandspiele

There’s some bad board game media rightfully being criticized right about now. This post isn’t meant to detract from that—keep shitting on bad actors.

On the flip side, I just finished up @amabel.bsky.social’s most recent video essay: youtu.be/dTepZ7qM24Q?...

@cmyk.games's @alex.cmyk.games joins Intertextual Experience for its newest episode.

It's unsurprisingly amazing, and I could type a whole bunch of words explaining why it is. But I'll just let the episode, colors, and Alex speak for themselves.

Adorable 😸

People don’t deserve cats, but I’m super glad we have them.

Or is Spookyboo just the type/vibe/look? I'm tired 😅

No matter what, cats are the best.
