Bucket List Board Gamers

The Dragon has been slain, and underneath its lifeless corpse lies a mountain of riches the likes of which you have never seen.

You shoot a glance to the other members of your party, each person covetously scanning the pile of goodies with envious eyes... then you dive in to claim what is yours!

Split the Hoard is a game that plays out in those moments immediately after victory, where everyone in the party wants to fill up their swag bag with the items best suited to them; be it potions, equipment, straight up gold, or something else completely.

We talked to game creator Marc Kenobi about Split the Hoard, where the idea came from, how he got into board gaming and what might be next!

We thought it was about time we addressed the elephant in the room, and made sense of why we are called the Bucket List Board Gamers!

The first in what we hope to be a long-running series, this episode Luke, Craig and Jay discuss their picks for Entry Level or 'Beginner' games that they think are best placed to entice people into the hobby of board gaming.

Whether it be alluring visuals, tasty tactility or an effortless teach, Luke, Craig and Jay explain their two picks, then vote to decide which three games take the first slots on the prestigious... Bucket List Board Gamers Bucket List of Board Games!

We're still working on the name...

Apologies to our Patreons, this was recorded before you very generously joined so there is no shout-out in this episode, but we love you all the same!

As you may have heard in the episode, we are proud affiliates of Meeple Design and Meeple Coffee, who sell gorgeous gamer-related artwork and gorgeous gamer-related coffee, respectively.

We wouldn't advertise something we weren't massively fond of, and a lot of the Bucket List Board Gamers have Meeple Design artwork and apparel, and Jay wouldn't be able to get through these huge editing sessions without at least one cup of Hero's Upgrade coffee by his side at all times.

By using the links below to buy your merch and high quality coffee beans/grounds, you'll also be supporting the channel and a small business, so it's a win-win-win situation.

In our debut episode we kick off with the quintessential introductory game of Carcassonne!

Kick back, relax, lay your tiles, place your Meeples and just have a bloody good time in general! We also discuss the numerous expansions and reimplementations, and talk about other similar suitable 'introductory' games for those keen to get into the hobby or wanting to introduce friends.

Oh and there's even a train whistle, so keep an ear out for that!

The audio isn't the best in places but this is something we're working on (recording 4 people at once is certainly a learning curve!) so if you made it to the end thanks for sticking with us!

Enjoy!
