Drunk Dice

Will and Donnie talk about a fun cooperate game from Kickstarter called Set a Watch. We also solve the intractable problem of proper branding for the board game lifestyle. 

On this week's episode, Will and Donnie talk about the new game Dragonscales from publisher Arcane Wonders. 

Will and Donnie sit down to drink and discuss their newest Kickstarter fulfillment, Fantastic Factories. This is a board game ostensibly about factories, but are they REALLY fantastic?

The boys are back in town! Donnie and Will are back for Season 3, kicking it off with the biggest, thiccest game to ever exist... Gloomhaven. Plus, find out why they were gone (Donnie had some big life changes), and remember why you hate-listened to them in the first place.

Donnie is almost done with Army stuff, so it's time to start releasing episodes again! This is an interview he did in June with Stefan Bachmann, game designer for the fantastic tactical game Halfway, and upcoming game Pathway. We talked about both games and if you listen to the episode you just might learn how to get some free games. 

Donnie and Will's most recent obsession is the deckbuilding roguelike called Slay the Spire. It's Will's most-played single-player game ever (pushing 400 hours) and in this episode, they try to explain why it's so good.  We also want to formally apologize for this episode title. We're ashamed, too.

The creative duo behind Shadows of Adam (one of our favorite games from 2017) join us to chat about their favorite SNES-era RPGs. And make dick jokes? Par for the course, really. (There are some wonky audio issues on this one -- apologies!)

After a grueling day of board gaming, Donnie and Will sit down to babble middle-of-the-night thoughts about the beautifully frustrating and enthrallingly complex Through the Ages, by designer Vlaada Chvatil. There are a lot of rules. A lot. Of rules.

Donnie is flying solo this week (because Will was attending SmackDown... yes, seriously) and sits down to chat with Stephen Dewey, the creator/designer behind several RPG systems (you probably know him from Ten Candles). He has a new system hitting Kickstarter called Gather: Children of the Evertree and we've got a first look!

We send Leigh off to Los Angeles with a tearful farewell and a whole lot of booze. Also we talk about party games. 

We talk to Tyler Mire, composer and creative mind behind the new JRPG Shadows of Adam. 

This week, we drink the Golden Girl Blonde Ale from Triple C Brewing in Charlotte and talk about the drafting and engine building game Seasons. 

In this episode, Donnie discusses one of his all-time favorite games: Super Mario RPG. He tries to establish if it's still good if played from a neutral perspective (spoiler alert: it is).

After a lengthy hiatus, the guys are back! Will and Donnie slur their way through a middle-of-the-night discussion with Parker and Brock about Machi Koro. Will also rants about Bingo. Nobody is sure why.

You hear the hilarious vocal stylings of friend of the show Ben Ferber. His great jokes fill you with determination....

On our very special Memorial Day 2016 episode, Will and Brock are joined by friend of the show David Vance. 

Shea joins us again this week to discuss Hearthstone. We learn lots of very nerdy vocabulary words and why Shea is America's most eligible bachelor. 

In this episode, we welcome our very special guest Shea to discuss Dominion, the classic deckbuilding card game. Shea is love. Shea is life. 

Just in time to ride the television bandwagon, Will and Donnie are talking about the Game of Thrones strategy board game. Also Donnie drank mead. Which was fine. 

Will, Donnie, and Leigh sit down this week to discuss Rayman Legends. We drank whiskey and gingers.

Donnie & Will grab some spiked coffee and sit down to talk about one of their favorite games of all-time - Hitman: Blood Money - and see if the newest Hitman game can return the series to its glory days.

Will, Brock, and Donnie talk about Goldeneye for the N64 and Codenames.

Will and Donnie are flying duo again this week. We talk about Saboteur and drink Benedictine&Brandy.

This week, Will trolls the hell out of his cohosts by making them play Yoshi's Story. The lesson, as always, is that Will is a dick.

In this very special episode, Donnie and Leigh babble incoherently like moon-children about the great video game The Beginner's Guide.

Will, Leigh, and Donnie all throw back some Love Ninja and discuss two "zen" board games: Antoine Bauza's "Tokaido" and Carl Chudyk's "Mottainai".

AND WE'RE BACK. This week we are joined by new regular host Leigh to talk about the fantastic new puzzle game The Witness.

This week, the guys try something different! They're joined by game developer Leigh Johnson (who also happens to be Will's roommate) for a playthrough of the party improv game, Snake Oil! It gets pretty offensive, but then again, when does it not?

This week, we talked about a fantastic new game called Party Politics. We also played the original Duke Nukem and drank Manhattans. And got way off topic.

On this year's extra special Halloween episode, we celebrate after the actual day. We talk about Dead of Winter and The Park.

In this episode, we talk about Dice Masters and Quarriors. We also drink whiskey sours. Will was a fan.

On this week's episode, we discuss the brilliant board game Five Tribes.

This week, Will & Donnie drink a cocktail comprised of a thousand smaller cocktails while discussing the "fantasy Storage Wars" game Vault Wars, as well as one of Will's all time favorite games, Psychonauts.

The guys welcome Matt Wolfe to the podcast, the designer of the wonderful "Wombat Rescue" and "Avalanche at Yeti Mountain". They gush over the games (seriously, they're super good) and delve into an uncomfortable amount of wombat facts. Did you know wombats poop cubes? Because they poop cubes.

BACK-TO-BACK BIG EPISODES! The guys get a bit too drunk off of a truly miserable cocktail and run with the lazy "7" theme to discuss the card drafting game "7 Wonders" and the weird commercial tie-in game from the early 90's "Cool Spot". There's also talk of MOBAs, Kim Davis, and Turd Ferguson for some reason.

Brass monkey, win lose or banana, Escape from the Temple, and Donkey Kong Country

On this week's short episode, we drink Nuts and Berries and discuss the fantastic game Sheriff of Nottingham. Also Will makes some good jokes for once. 

This week, Will & Donnie pop their collars and fist pump as they throw back jaegerbombs and discuss two party games: the hidden role game "2 Rooms and a Boom", and the classic N64 Mario Party games. 

This week it's another weenie episode, and the guys put on their best sweater vests and golf slacks to discuss the city building game "Suburbia", all while sipping their homemade Rumchata. It's all very posh.

The boys take a trip to the East this week as they discuss all things Asian. They take a look at a few Asian themed microgames before launching into one of Donnie's favorite (and Will's least favorite) games of all time. 

In this mini episode, Donnie makes Will drink boogers, and they talk about Kingsburg, a game that they have a very hard time categorizing, or even deciding if they like it or not.

If you like Piña coladas... and Egyptian war games... If you're not into JRPGS... if you have half a brain... then you'll LOVE thie episode! Donnie and Will go over the wonderful tech building system in "Kemet", discuss whether Square's ambitious RPG "Chrono Trigger" holds up, and Will learns to love the coconut.

In this short episode, Donnie and Will discuss the Aviation cocktail and discover Donnie's secret life as Sean "P.Diddy" Combs. They also go over Keyflower, one of their favorite European-esque games.

This week, Donnie and Will partake in their favorite cocktail: the Old Fashioned. Donnie may be a bit too enthusiastic about it. They also talk about their most played board game of all time, Shadow Hunters, and wax poetic about one of Will's favorite game of all time, Bioshock.
