HEX&CUBE: Euro Board Games and Board Game Design

Merry New Year! In this episode Kyle, Joe, and Luke chat about balancing unicorns and some village people. They also share some of their favs from 2020, which is difficult when you didn't play anything that came out that year, as well as some games that they're looking forward to in 2021, which is the year we are currently in if you were unaware. Which I was. Where am I?

#13 - Hangout - Favorite Older Games & Alhambra, Brick & Mortar, Sagrada, Azul, Point Salad

There are four seasons in a Midwestern year, and this is the last episode of our first season.
Sorry, that was probably confusing.
In this final episode of Season 1, Kyle brings Luke and Michael back on the show to give Descent more credit than it's due, and to also talk about old games. We talk a little about the excellence that is El Grande and how the Chess is still good after all these years. If both parties are willing to work at it, you can keep the fire alive through anything!
I genuinely am grateful for all the support thus far, and I'm really excited about the future of the show. Let's get it.

#15 - Workshop - Jonathan Weaver & Narrative in Board Games

In this workshop episode, Kyle is joined by Jonathan Weaver to talk about narrative in games. Jonathan takes us on an enlightening journey in which Kyle discovers that he has been in love with narrative in games all along....or has he? That's for you to decide, and for me to find out. This episode is half-full of agreeable groans. Enjoy!
