100 Games in 100 Days w/ David Guthrie
Anything is possible if you just start doing it. That's what Jake and Becca learn when they chat with David Guthrie aka "gameylannister" who recently achieved the lofty goal of playing BGG's top 100 games in 100 days. Sure, it sounds insane, but if you really stop and think about what it means to play a complex strategy game every single day for 3+ months... It sounds EVEN MORE insane.

Come Back!
Love Becca and Good Time Society, and wish this podcast were still releasing regularly! Come back and make more episodes!
The Best
Becca basically had me at Twilight Imperium and women in gaming, but I’ve been listening through the available episodes and they are all really great so far. I listen to a handful of board game podcasts and this is my new favorite. Excellent guests and awesome to hear other women talking about the hobby! Keep up the great work.
Go to Boardgame podcast
Victory Points has quickly become my “listen to first” board game podcasts. The down to earth discussion of all things gaming with an emphasis on the social dynamic of gaming has been fantastic. Keep up the great work!
