This episode is brought to you by PUNCH-IT ENTERTAINMENT creators of battle for sularia. In Episode 06 the board members continue their pursuit of #nogameleftbehind with a review of Eminent Domain. They are progressively going to be ramping up the heaviness of the game being reviewed and this game was a natural fit and must have for gaming collections! They are joined by the often mentioned Ernesto Bueno to review the game which he had never played prior to the plays for the review so he brings good perspective as the "new guy". Dan gets to finally put Ryan in his place and owns a better copy of Master Labyrinth and has to admit a secret he has been keeping about a certain Legacy game he has abandoned his normal game group to play with the Bizarro's.

In episode 5 we are pleased to announce our first sponsor and couldnt be more excited about the crew at PunchIt Entertainment jumping into this with us! Ryan figures out what all the stress is from in Dan's life... Ryan's daughter Zoe turns 8 and gets a quick couple of minutes to talk about why she loves boardgames! And what you all have been waiting for! We dive head first into one of the biggest board game discussion topics and that's Board Game Immersion... what better way to do that then to have the man himself Jamey Stegmaier of Stonemaier Games co-host with us to really take a hard look at what keeps us entrenched in this hobby!

In Episode 4 the board members stick to the show theme of #nogameleftbehind and pick out a classic to review... They dive head first into Pirates Cove and unpack a game that should be in every collection. AAAAND in a turn of events will Dan finally take the plunge and start his journey into collectible cardgames? Listen in to find out! We are now on SLACK and if you want to chat with the Hosts join the group and get in on the fun!   Special Thanks to friend of the show Dan Byrd for the Pirate Intro.

In a change of format the board members take an opportunity to record live from a Regional Con. Great Plains Game Fest is in its 4th year and growing quickly. Listen in as many games are talked about, recommended, and played. 524 Labs (Area 1851 and Mint Works) and Punch-it Entertainment (Battle for Sularia) as well as the Convention founders all stop by to talk shop and fill us in on some exclusives going on in their world right now. This was a very fun episode to create and an experience that will never be forgotten. #nogameleftbehind is alive and well and we even here about another grouping of games that maybe you haven't heard of before.

In Episode 2 Dan and Ryan Weigh in on Josh from the Brawling Brothers Car Misfortunes... AAAAAND how Dan can personally relate. They continue to unpack and iron out #nogameleftbehind and potentially discover their next official segment called "the highlights." Things take a turn as they dive into their first topical discussion which turns into a heated debate... the jury is still out on who won the debate but we promise the discussion is worth the listen and offers many angles and many perspectives!   ***Special thanks to everyone and their patience with the SNAFU (thanks ulf) err the major technical difficulties.

In the day early and out of the norm inaugural episode the Board Members Dan and Ryan open up about who they are and where they came from... They give thanks where thanks is due and really talk about the pay it forward attitude of the industry. They unpack an untapped niche and challenge the community to join them in the adventure that is finding the forgotten games beyond the top 250 on BGG. What is #NOGAMELEFTBEHIND???
