Go play Kokeshi! It’s so good!

The struggles of being a content creator. So very many rulebooks.

Mark got a demo of this at Gen Con and is super excited about this one. If you like lots of mini games and interesting component interactions, then make sure to check this out. It’s gonna be wild when it releases. gamefound.com/en/projects/...

What a Gen Con this year. This pile is ludicrous but publishers were as generous to us as we were to them it seems like. We can’t wait to start covering this whole pile for you, there’s already some real bangers that Mark is loving (Ofrenda!) and some games that he can’t believe he got (Iliad!).

@floodgategames.bsky.social We kinda couldn’t stop playing Squirrel Away today. It got shown to a lot of folks.

Thank you to @floodgategames.bsky.social for the copy of Squirrel Away! The demo with Seppy was a total blast and we can’t wait to play it later tonight in the demo hall. Find us at the Stonemaier demo tables around 830p. You can find Floodgate at Booth 439!! Tell Seppy they’ve got great hair!!

Hey hey BATT Family! We have ALOT of content dropping. Episode 23 was earlier today. Tomorrow are a couple of reviews. And Thursday is our GenCon Preview!! We’ve got a ton of stuff lined up until the Con and we hope you check it all out!

We have a couple of reviews coming up this week! Neodreams and Kingsburg 3rd edition! They’ll be out tomorrow!

(Spoiler alert: Mark is obsessed with Neodreams.)

Hiya all! This week’s episode is going to be late (most likely a Friday drop). I’m in the hospital with one of my kiddos right now (he’s ok, but it’s a preventive procedure) and I didn’t get it out before we had to leave. Thank you for your patience, episode 21 is a lot of fun!

Link doesn’t work?

You have no idea. 🤣

Hi all! Unfortunately the BATT studios have been without power for over a day now and are expected to be that way for another 36 hours. This week’s episode will unfortunately be out late due to that. The joy of Midwest storms. Thanks for your patience!

It still is so cool to us to see Board All The Time getting quoted and such on Kickstarter campaigns. Be sure to go check out the new expansion for An Age Contrived on Kickstarter now!

Twitch Twitch is the world

We’re going live at 4p EDT with our friends at Theater Geeks to play An Age Contrived with its upcoming expansion, Folklore and Pilgrimage (coming to Kickstarter on Tuesday 2/4) at twitch.tv/theatergeeks! We hope you join us!

I’ve only gotten to play it once so far, so this is definitely not final impressions, but man alive this might be the best of the three.

Ooh.

Alternatively: ooooooooooh.

But why does Ursula’s death release all the people in her lair from their contracts? Don’t most contracts persist through the death of one party unless otherwise stated? Her contracts (at least Ariel’s) say for all eternity - so was she an immortal? So many questions.

Yeah we were really concerned about that. I basically, other than cleaning and dehumidifying the space, didn’t enter it for a week while it all dried out.

Board All The Time Episode 15 Board All The Time · Episode

Thank you so much for your patience with us everybody, turns out the studio flood was a bit worse than we expected. Here is the new episode 15 and we hope you really enjoy it! Stock some extra time away for it - we definitely went long this time.

Oh man, Upwords. Talk about childhood for me.

Howdy all! In case you were wondering, Episode 15(16?) is going up late. It’s a resultant issue from the flood last week. New episode will be up sometime tomorrow since I’m having to do full edits on it in a very short amount of time. Thanks for sticking with us!

Heck yeah! Finally I can play as purple!

We’re really hoping not as we are going to be able to at least record Ep16 this week at Jason’s place but beyond that things are dicey. Also thankfully our setup is mobile so we can do so but we’ll figure that out as things come up.

So the BATT studio flooded. A lot of stuff got wet and there were a couple games lost (I’ll figure those out later). Thankfully our equipment appears to have survived without issue but it means that recording is going to be in a weird state for now. There may be a content gap after Ep15 releases.

Top 100 Games (2024 Edition) Welcome to the Top 100 Games (2024 Edition). This is the sixth year of tracking this list, but I've decided to cut all data from 2019/2020 as those lists were made without as much thought and at this ...

One last thing: Mark's Top 100 has gone live. It was meant to be up at noon when the Top Ten list went live, but the writing process of it just took longer than expected. The joys of small children. We hope you enjoy reading through it!

Board All The Time - Top Ten for 2025 Board All The Time · Episode
