This episode is brought to you by PowerMeeps.com. With the lack of conventions this year, we've decided to host 2 or 3 "mini-cons" for our local game group.  The last weekend of August saw us invade the beautiful and mysterious town of Cloudcroft, NM - JessupCon 2020... In the clouds!  Tune in and join special guests Jordan (Boardgame Bella), Johnny and Mo as they discuss our ridiculous accommodations, hordes of delicious food and days upon days of games!  We talk about our first plays of games like Trade on the Tigris, The Magnificent, Barrage and Medici.... And it would be a weekend full of games if we didn't pull out some Brawling Brothers favorites - we revisit Railways of the World, Brass, Stick 'em, Great Western Trail and so much more!  Join us and some of our best friends as we retell the epic weekend that was JessupCon 2020!  We also announce the upcoming Horror in the War Room, Halloween script contest - we want you to contribute!

This episode is brought to you by Grand Gamers Guild & PowerToTheMeeple.com.  Our expectations were that 2021 would start with a bang, and boy were we right!  Find out why the Brawling Brothers have been MIA at the turn of the year, then hang out to hear about some of the games we have been playing recently, including Flamme Rouge, Dune Imperium, Wingspan and more.  We also offer up our Endangered Review, as well as relive the excitement of Joshs' most recent Axis and Allies campaign! Noel and Jordan join us to discuss the best (and worse) of 2020 and we collectively look ahead and make some predictions on 2021.

Technical Notes: We somehow managed to prove that 2020 lingers - a dead hard drive sends the end of our NOW segment and our entire TOMORROW segment into a tailspin, as a result we lost For Glory (Spielcraft Games) and Cult of the Deep (B.A. Games).  Stay tuned for our recut of that content in Episode 141.

This episode is brought to you by PowerMeeps.com.  Last year the Brawlers (our mixologists!) put together the finest blend of board games ever created.  It was dubbed the Brawlers Blend 2019 and became the standard for user-curated board game lists, all while boasting after-notes of vanilla and brown-sugar. Enter 2020 - the year of the BEAST. We knew we had to do something big - something even bigger than previous, so we scoured the countryside for those most capable of creating a delicious blend that could supplant the amazingly delicious work that we had previously created. Enter Mix Master Baker and Data-Lord Noel. Charged with creating something truly unique - something refreshing yet breathtaking. Mix Master Baker and Data-Lord Noel worked day and night to gather the information needed to create such a unprecedented experience, and we are here today to present the finest yet - The Brawlers Blend 2020! Join us in episode 132 to discover all of the Brawlers very favorite boardgames!

This episode is brought to you by PowerMeeps.com, Academy Games and Van Ryder Games. The artwork that surfaced for the upcoming RE-release of Castles of Burgundy causes quite the stir in the war room. Speaking of stirs, Wil Wheaton and Geek & Sundry are locked in legal battle and of course, the guys have an opinion! We've finally reached 5,000 twitter followers - this means we are going to have an EPIC giveaway!  We receive multiple gifts that we open live on the air - a huge thank you to The Notched Nerd and Josh at Power to the Meeple for incredibly thoughtful gifts! Tapestry has spent a lot of time on our table lately, we take a look at that as well as La Isla, Irish Gauge and MORE Snowdonia!  We wrap our episode up with a look at LockUp: A Roll Player tale, in our feature review.

This episode brought to you by Tasty Minstrel Games, BoardGameTables.com, Arcane Wonders & Meeple Realty.  Brandon's world travels have been grounded... He's now limited to domestic travels (no, not really) and Josh quizzes him on his recent trip to Las Vegas, Nevada with Robb and Christina of Blue Peg Pink Peg. A brief glance at the Brawling Brothers guild shows lots of excitement for Rising Sun from Cool Mini or Not.  Josh shares his love of Civilization (Avalon Hill) with us in the "TNT: Then" segment, and we share all of the games we've been playing (like Downforce and Ex Libris).  Our Godfather Review lands and we deep dive into this popular area control game, then the episode concludes with Josh and Brandon revealing their top 21-30 board games of all time!

This episode brought to you by Tasty Minstrel Games, BoardgameTables.com,  and Meeple Realty - Brandon starts the show in a sticky situation before describing the golden gilded canopy bed that Heavy Cardboard allowed him to sleep in during his stay at Heavy Cardboard Headquarters.  Brandon's trip to Denver involved many exciting moments including a stop at Hyperspace Arcade. Josh gives Brandon a Whisky & Scotch DATE NIGHT! We are excited to have Scott Sexton contributing written reviews to our website. "Transcend Time and Transform Your Hairline" is a great slogan that has to be used.... somewhere!  Sunwarrior Protein sponsors ALL guest appearances that Isaac Childres of Cephalofair Games makes.  Isaac answers some uncomfortable questions about Founders of Gloomhaven and agrees (at gunpoint, basically) to allow the Brawling Brothers to leave their mark on his newest game!  We wrap up Episode 55 with a hilarious discussion about "No-No's" around the board game table.

This episode is brought to you by PowerMeeps.com, Academy Games, Arcane Wonders and Van Ryder Games. Year in and year out our "Horror in the War Room" episodes are a huge favorite - both to us and the Brawlers in Brawling Land.  This year is no different, as we took the opportunity to produce a radio drama written by Evan Derrick of Van Ryder Games.  No Halloween episode would be complete without a visit from Dracul and Igor - but this year we take the visit to Transylvania! Our deep dive Abomination Board Game review is the center of our board game talk - we also discuss our recent plays of: Gates of Delirium, Horrified, What Came First and Slide Quest.  We briefly highlight a few of our favorite kickstarter projects, including the Fresco Mega Box, The Shores of Tripoli, Calico and Rome & Roll.

This episode is brought to you by Power to the Meeple. One of our most anticipated deep dives of the year is our Coimbra Review from Eggertspiele. Coimbra was designed by Flaminia Brasini (Lorenzo il Magnifico) and Virginio Gigli (Grand Austria Hotel) and launched in limited quantities at Origins Game Fair 2018. In Coimbra, it's the 16th century and Portugal is thriving under its leading role during the Age of Discovery. Nestled in the heart of Portugal, the city of Coimbra serves as a cultural center of the country. As the head of one of Coimbra's oldest houses, you seek to earn prestige by deepening relationships with nearby monasteries or funding expeditions of the era. To reach this goal, you must vie for the favors of the city's most influential citizens, even if you must offer a bit of coin or some protective detail. Tune in to our much anticipated Coimbra Review to find out what Josh, Brandon, and special guest Noel think about this beautiful Euro!

This episode is brought to you by PowerMeeps.com and Van Ryder Games. Well folks, our power problems are fixed thanks to Brawlers Kevin, ULF, Tim Root, Sal and Baker (ALLL THE BAKERS!). We discuss our upcoming adventures in Camp Capstone and learn about a nasty injury that Josh mysteriously received. Thanks to recent plays by Brandon and Jordan,  THEN is a flashback to a true classic - Agricola!  The NOW segment is full of gaming goodness, including a new Crossroads title from Plaid Hat Games, Forgotten Waters. We wrap the show chatting with Travis Reynolds of Queen Games.  Travis schools us in the ways of Craft Beer before he tells us all about the upcoming Feld Collection that will be hitting Kickstarter in mid-August.
