THEME! RANDOMNESS! These two concepts collide in an epic battle of control over the fun that's had at the table. Ian and Jared sit down at the Featured Table to discuss the Star Wars wild west fame claiming game, Star Wars: Outer Rim. Game Overview Star Wars: Outer Rim immerses players in the gritty, lawless edges of the Star Wars galaxy. Players take on the roles of bounty hunters, mercenaries, and smugglers, navigating the Outer Rim in search of fame and fortune. But don't be fooled into thinking this is all fun and games. After all, you are dealing with the Scum & Villainy of the universe! Players will need to make tough decisions about which bounties to pursue, which factions to align themselves with, which paths to take, and above all else, what ship to fly. Will you work your way up to buying the Millenium Falcon? Maybe you raid Lando's closet and collect his precious cloak collection? Or you could upgrade your armory and be the most feared in all the galaxy? All of these choices and more lay at your fingertips. But does this game live up to the vastness of the Star Wars Universe? Or does it crumble under the weight of randomness in disappointing dice rolls, card flips, and other elements that are just out of reach of player control? Find out as we discuss!

	10 Jul 2024	Robot Quest Arena – A Featured Table Review	00:50:00
Anna and Jared discuss the rock'em sock'em robot battling deck builder, Robot Quest Arena by White Wizard Games. Do you remember the 90s? Late nights on Comedy Central watching really intelligent nerds who built murderous machines to battle it out against each other all in the names of Fame and Glory!?! Maybe you watched a great movie like Real Steel with Hugh Jackman and have always dreamed of battling it out against another robot. Regardless of how you got here, let's sit down at the table and discuss Robot Quest Arena. Game Overview Robot Quest Arena is a 2-4 player deckbuilding battle arena board game. You’ll pilot battle bots, powered by various cards that you play on your turn from your deck. Batteries grant energy for movement, weapon activation, and/or purchasing new cards for your deck. Weapons act as...well... weapons. Function cards are your wild card customization of your bot to gain the advantage. As you navigate the arena’s obstacles, blast and smash opponents, and lay traps, tension at the table reaches an all time high. Destroyed bots respawn each round, ensuring non-stop action! In the end, it's not about how many bots you kill, but the full measure of destruction and mayhem that you caused along the way! LINKS!

	17 Jul 2024	Captain Flip – A Kid’s Table Review	00:24:12
Ahoy there! Faith and Jared are at the kid's table today as we discuss the push your luck, crew building game Captain Flip. Game Overview Captain Flip is a family-friendly strategy game that combines push-your-luck mechanics with crew-building elements. In this game, players take on the roles of pirate captains aiming to recruit the best crew and collect the most treasure. Each turn, players draw a tile from a bag. They can either keep the tile as it is or flip it to reveal the other side. Once flipped, the decision is final. Players place the tiles on their personal boards, strategically positioning crew members to maximize their scores. Different crew members, such as navigators, cannoneers, and cartographers, offer various benefits and scoring opportunities. The game involves a significant element of risk, as players must decide whether to keep a tile or take a chance by flipping it. This adds excitement and tension to each turn. Completing columns on the board can earn players bonuses. The game ends when a player’s board is mostly filled, and the player with the highest score wins. Links!

Dump as many sandbags as you can — and try to gain rockets as well! — to send yourself higher and higher to win. Sandbag is a trick-taking game of avoiding tricks, manipulating trump, and reconfiguring your hand of cards. In each of the three rounds, you configure your basket with two face-up cards; the most common color among all players' cards is the trump suit. Each trick, players either play from their hand, play a sandbag (to sluff, that is avoid winning the trick), or play one of their opponents' face-up cards. During the round, it's possible for the trump to change as the number and kind of face-up cards are exchanged for face-down sandbags. Five rocket cards worth negative points are in play each round, and you want to win these while avoiding the sandbag cards because in the end the player with the lowest score wins. Sandbag is a highly interactive trick-taking game for 3-6 players that excels at higher player counts! Overview o

Hues and Cues is a vibrant game of colorful communication where players are challenged to make connections to colors with words. Using only one and two-word cues, players try to get others to guess a specific hue from the 480 colors on the game board. The closer the guesses are to the target, the more points you earn. Since everyone imagines colors differently, connecting colors and clues has never been this much fun! Gather around with three to ten people to play a quick and simple game with a prism of possibilities! First, a “cue giver” hides a specific color they’ve chosen out of a deck of cards. There are 480 shades on the board in front of you! After getting one- and two-word cues, everyone places their marker on which color they think is being described. “Coffee.” Is it dark brown, as in freshly brewed? “Au lait.” With milk. That means I should pick a lighter shade! Use examples from everyday life, from nature to pop culture, or materials and moods. Everyone around the table gets a turn to give cues and guess. The better your hints or guesses, the more points you earn. Play off others' experiences to narrow down what they have in mind!

First player who can place the 6th bear, wins. Dragon's Breath Description from the Publisher On one of their expeditions the dragon children Mira, Feo, Luna and Diego discover an unusual sparkling treasure: a column of ice with sparkling stones frozen inside it. They want to take the treasure back to their cave. But unfortunately the column of ice is too heavy. The only thing they can do is to melt it. But breathing fire isn't as easy as it sounds. Instead of fire they only manage hot air. Then the four of them have an idea: they'll get their dad to help. And it works! Dad's fire breathing starts melting the column, and little by little the sparkling stones start falling out. The dragon children quickly collect the valuable treasures, and take them back to their cave. With a little luck even dad will get a few sparkling stones! Which dragon child will collect the most sparkling stones in their cave by the end of the game? —description from the rulebook Overview of The Game Table Podcast The Game Table Podcast is an exploration of various board, card, and tabletop games.

After several lean decades, family fortunes are looking up! Your goal is to improve your estate so as to be in better standing with the truly influential families in Derbyshire. Obsession is a game of 16 to 20 turns in which players build a deck of Victorian gentry (British social upper class), renovate their estate by acquiring building tiles from a centralized builders' market, and manipulate an extensive service staff of butlers, housekeepers, underbutlers, maids, valets, and footmen utilizing a novel worker placement mechanic. Successfully hosting prestigious social activities such as Fox Hunts, Music Recitals, Billiards, Political Debates, and Grand Balls increases a player's wealth, reputation, and connections among the elite.

Follow us on Instagram Join the conversation on Discord: https://discord.gg/ZYKF3wdenJ Check us out on Boardgamegeek Jared on BGG Ian on BGG Nana Description from the Publisher nana, which was later reprinted as Trio, is a card game in which players are looking for three of a kind. The deck consists of 36 cards, numbered 1-12 three times. Players receive some cards in hand, which they are required to sort from low to high, and the remaining cards are placed face down on the table. On your turn, choose any single card to reveal, either the low or high card from a player's hand (including your own) or any face-down card from the table. Then, do this again. Should the two cards show the same number, continue your turn; if they do not, return the cards to where they came from and end your turn. If you reveal three cards showing the same number, take these cards as a set in front of you. If you are the first player to collect three sets, you win — except that a player wins immediately if they collect the set of 7s or two sets that add or subtract to 7, e.g., 4s and 11s. Note that nana and Trio contain identical components, but nana is labeled for 2-5 players, while Trio is labeled for 3-6 players. Trio has slight changes to the rules, with players using all cards no matter the player count. Additionally, you play in normal mode — winning with three sets or the 7s — or "spicy" mode, winning with two linked sets or the 7s. Finally, Trio includes rules for playing in teams with four or six players. Overview of The Game Table Podcast The Game Table Podcast is an exploration of various board, card, and tabletop games.
