May 12th - Shepherding New Gamers
Chad, Ryan and Adam talk about what it takes to shepherd casual and non-gamers through the hobby to become the die-hard dice-chucking card-flipping gamers you want/need them to be! How else are you going to get TI4 to the table?
After that we talk about games we've played recently, including Tobago (with the Volcano expansion), New Frontiers, Pax Pamir, Vagrantsong, and more!

March 16th - Rounds and Rummoli
Ryan, Chad and Adam discuss the variance between different rounds of board games - specifically how the first and last round can feel and play differently from the rest of the game. Referencing a few examples we discuss good and bad takes on the issue and what our personal preferences are.
After that we discuss some recent plays, including Throw Throw Burrito, Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza, Welcome To The Moon, Roll Player Adventures, and more! -
February 16th - El Grande!
Chad finally got off his butt and edited last month's El Grande episode! Adam, Ryan and Chad discuss the recently-added-to-board-game-arena game, El Grande! See how this 26 year old area majority game holds up to today's board gaming standards as we discuss before and after playing a full game! Could the nobles on the front cover be any more sour? How many Caballeros did Adam put in the Castillo? Find out now!
After that we discuss our recent plays, including Townsfolk Tussle, Samurai, and A Feast for Odin!
Customer Reviews
Really interesting
Very interesting hearing about the opening of a game store in Saskatchewan after the Covid lockdown. Also really liked the guess the game via the short description.
Fireside board games chat
A great board games show: three guys who love games chatting about a topic-of-the-day and what they're playing. Casual, modest, and personal.
Sask Gaming Goodness
Imagine my surprise that a lcoal(ish) podcast has turned out to be one of the better board game podcasts I've come across. There discussions about the hobby are great; they are not too obsessive about the hobby and have reasoned points of view. They also remember to talk about older games in the mix with the newer ones, which many podcasts these days neglect to do.
