Podcasts about board games

In Volume 1 of The Best of The Secret Cabal Gaming Podcast, we're cracking open the vault and revisiting some of the wildest, weirdest, and most unforgettable moments from the show's history. We're talking chicken wing sauce on the cards, Catwoman miniatures, Turkey Man, the Wood Booger, anal beads, Chris playing with a pig, Steve Dice Clay, Tony's bathroom habits and night terrors, and almost getting kicked out of Origins Game Fair. It's wild, crazy, bananas, boombastic, brilliant, magnificent, monumental and meshugenah - it's The Secret Cabal Gaming Podcast.

In episode 252, Dean talks about some recent plays (Colt Express, Clans of Midgard, and Unmatched Adventures: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles). Dean and Deron also share their collective games of the year. If you enjoy our podcast, please consider rating us and giving us a review. If you like our YouTube channel, please consider subscribing.

You may have heard we got a bit of winter weather a couple weeks ago which means our dear Stardaddy had to do some catch up at the ol' day job. While he was out contributing to society, the rest of us got together to plot a revolution against his tyrannical ways.This week we crack open Revolt! by Jason Price (gifted to us by Brian over at Spirits and Monsters of Old Seattle). This DM-less tabletop roleplaying game uses a beautifully rendered deck of story telling prompts along with a gorgeous fabric map to guide players in constructing a tale of growing revolution set in a fantasy land of frogs, grasshoppers, ants, and other wee creatures. Heads up, this is a long episode with a lighter editing hand. We hope you enjoy a little bit of whimsy before we dive back into our regularly scheduled program next week!Send us a message through this weird thing that didn't exist before but exists now.Support the show

You responded on the #backtalk channel of the Discord. 0:29:00 Growing as a Family with Board Games We started The Family Gamers Podcast when we had three kids, age 7 and under. Back then, we were really just playing with the oldest and trying to find ways to include the preschooler. We started playing very simple games with our oldest when she was probably 3 years old. We did play some CandyLand, but we mostly played simple “family” games rather than kids’ games. We were often trying to rule-shift or play games that were very simple (like Zombie Dice, which we mention back in episode 1!), in part because our oldest started reading at a very young age. So we didn’t need games that avoided reading. She also really enjoyed the adult attention she got from doing “adult” things. And then our middle child got old enough to want to join in the games. Unfortunately, we discovered many “family games” don’t work well with multiple children when at least one can’t read yet. That is when we first realized that when gaming with very young children, games need to be short, with very simple decisions, no reading, and limited symbols & counting. We were barely aware of HABA games and other games geared towards very young children, but we learned! (Episode 36) Teaming Up: Playing with Multiple Children We also would “team up” a parent with a kid. The job of the parent was to present and explain the available decisions, without forcing the kid into any specific option. We recommend using house rules or variants, as long as everyone agrees how to play! It’s OK if small children just want to use the game pieces to play “let’s pretend”. If that bothers other children playing (or you as the parent), you need to clarify this with the kid – it’s not right or wrong, just have a plan for how to handle it. Maybe it means finishing this game and coming back later to play with the kid-generated rules. “You want to say ‘yes’ as much as possible.” – Andrew As the kids got a little older, we noticed that our younger children were trying to emulate their older sibling(s). (This is still an issue with teenagers, by the way.) This made it even more important to emphasize being a gracious winner and avoid being a sore loser. But it also means that you have to find ways to include the younger sibling(s) even as the older children want to graduate away from “kids games”. We looked for ways to handicap games, but also looked for games that would play to our younger children’s strengths, so they would not ALWAYS lose. It’s Different Now In 2026, we would recommend BoardGamesForAllAges.com. Tom has created “B-mods” which are handicapping rules to allow players of different levels to really be able to play TOGETHER. The structure encourages kids to keep leveling up, with fewer and fewer handicaps. We are also now in a phase of life where board gaming as a family looks very different: our kids are all in middle & high school now. And their interactions with games are different. It’s no longer about leveling the playing field, it’s about honoring the ways that each of them want to interact with board gaming. Our oldest loves conventions, but it’s not about playing games; it’s about being with people. Our middle child loves playing and teaching games and will try almost anything, anytime. Our youngest needs a theme that really grabs him. Now that they are older, their gaming is no longer driven by their ability. Now it’s all about their interests and their free time. It’s OK if board gaming is not the best choice for your family activities right now! 1:00:10 New Backtalk Question People train their whole lives and put it all on display in their specific sport once every four years at the Olympics and we all marvel at it.

Hark and well met, noble Cabalists! Return ye now to the dust-laden tomes and candlelit halls of the Dungeon Master's Ludus, that ancient library of wisdom and whispered lore. On this day, the Lords gather in solemn counsel to ponder a matter most sacred to all who bear the mantle of Storycrafter - the elusive spark of inspiration. Come then, and let us speak of where ideas flare bright as dragonfire bringing forth sagas of brave heroes, dark ruins, and fearsome beasts.

This week on Bards of the Board, we journey to Arrakis.Jason brings one of his all-time favorites to the table: Dune: Imperium — the deck-building, worker-placement epic that blends political intrigue, resource management, and all-out conflict in the battle for spice. While it may lean heavier than some games we typically cover, Robbie found himself thoroughly hooked… and maybe a little obsessed.We break down what makes Dune: Imperium such a standout modern strategy game — from its tense combat phases and meaningful decision space to the elegant way deck-building fuels every move you make on the board. Is it too heavy for casual players? Does the strategy overwhelm the fun? Or is this the perfect bridge into deeper tabletop experiences?If you've been curious about Dune: Imperium but intimidated by its reputation, this episode is for you. We unpack the systems, highlight why it works so well, and do our best to make the spice flow in a way that's digestible for everyone.Fear is the mind-killer… but great game design? That sticks with you.You can find Dune: Imperium for yourself at:https://amzn.to/3OdbPVkJason and Robbie have the goal of introducing non-gamers to the amazing world of tabletop gaming. With over 35 years of modern board gaming experience, we strive to open newer gamers to a variety of games that may be fun and exciting for them. Whether it's the theme, mechanics, or length of the game, we hope to demystify the negative stigma that often accompanies tabletop gaming and help players realize the tabletop gaming world is for everyone!We hope you accompany us on this journey … and join us at the table!Be sure to follow us on Instagram as well!https://www.instagram.com/bards_of_the_board/Chapters:0:00 Intro2:07 Games We've Played Lately21:00 Dune Imperium1:02:50 Cookie Scale1:08:03 Final Thoughts

And most importantly… will we actually agree on the final Top 10?Expect passionate arguments, questionable veto choices, and plenty of board game hot takes as we imagine which tabletop worlds belong in Hollywood.

Planet Money has teamed up with the company Exploding Kittens to make a board game inspired by the legendary economics paper The Market for Lemons. We've decided we want a mass-appeal party game that quietly sneaks in the economics, so that we can report from inside a world that no other Planet Money project has entered: the real shelves at real big box retail stores. We have a great game mechanic and a set of rules. Now all we need is a good name and theme. Turns out, that is way harder and way higher stakes than any of us could have imagined. In the third episode of our series, we learn the importance of a good game name and theme and try to come up with one for our game. Find our previous episodes in the board game series, here and here.Pre-order the Planet Money book and get a free gift. / Subscribe to Planet Money+Listen free: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, the NPR app or anywhere you get podcasts.Facebook / Instagram / TikTok / Our weekly Newsletter.This episode of Planet Money was hosted by Kenny Malone and Erika Beras.
