Thanks so much!
And yeah, not the best name.

We played more All In at work today, so you can probably guess how we felt about it haha
How better to celebrate 12 years of the podcast than by deciding our Favourite Board Games of 2025
Plus we review All-In: Predictions by @philwh.bsky.social & @nextmoveofficial.bsky.social and Speakeasy by @eaglegryphon.bsky.social

Great start to the series
So excited to see you on the show
Yeah, totally.
I more just want to give it the platform because I think it could slip through for folks
Really enjoyed this one too
I think I'll review it in the next show
Loved my experience with Hellboy
Made me want to do a WWII Cthulhu adventure
Box cover of All In: Predictions
4 3s and a K in a hand off cards above the table. I thought it would win me the round, but it did not
I taught the work lunch group All In: Predictions, the latest @philwh.bsky.social Poker variant where you want a good ranked hand, but you also want to figure out who might have the best hand of the round
Both groups that have learned it have really enjoyed it

The Coimbra board with game pieces on a table
Finally playing a euro game for the first time in a minute
Coimbra does a lot of things I like in medium euros
It's time for Episode 274 with Linsae!
We review our family's experience with Cozy Stickerville by @psycorey.bsky.social & @unexpectedgames.bsky.social and my play of Indonesia
Then Lins waxes poetically about cozy games like Starsand Island & Fields of Mistria

Well that just looks freaking gorgeous
Sorry we're breaking our backs moving
That would be quite the mouth feel on that one...
Just finished recording the last episode we will ever record in this house
I'm excited for the new place, but we've done a lot of fun shows in this basement and had a lot of great memories
Yeah, I think it's because of the influence of The Crew first.
But you're right, we will just need to play it more, haha
Hey, did you know that the Ring cards aren't a trump suit in The Lord of the Rings Trick-Taking game series?
Because we learned that today...after playing through the whole 1st box and then part of the 2nd...
@officedoggames.bsky.social
The family sat down for more Cozy Stickerville this weekend
We played Years 6-8 and continue to really enjoy it
The simplicity of the process, but the fun growth of the village & storylines that are weaved throughout are so great
2 more sessions before our story ends!
@unexpectedgames.bsky.social
So excited for Kumail in this series
Yeah this album was a huge influence on me
Linsae and I still sing lines like "Your hair is everywhere" at each other
Wooooooaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!
Geez, throw strikes, children!
The giant Kingdomino set
We have these in our school library
Want to hear about it once you get going
These are the articles I crave in spring training
Especially with the roster mostly set
Learning about the new guys are great
Q is back for Episode 273
We review Scurry Up and LotR: The Two Towers Trick-taking Game by @officedoggames.bsky.social
And Q shares his thoughts on Slay the Spire 2 so far
Plus we reveal our favourite video games of 2025

Yeah that's why I picked it
Haha, I didn't even notice those.
Makes it even better
Mechanical keyboard on a desk
Well this is @boardgamefeast.bsky.social's fault
But the clacks feel so good
A bunch of pieces on a map of Indonesia on a table
We learned Indonesia last night
It had some really interesting player interaction
Starts sort of mellow but layers things nicely
Very intrigued to play again when we all know it better
