Board Games – And the One We’d Never Play Again!

from The Worst of the Best Podcast · host Ryan Rebalkin

 Ryan is joined one last time by his brother and longtime co-host Jason for a loving trip down memory lane: the 22 greatest board games of their Canadian childhood (and beyond). From late-night Monopoly marathons and family-reunion Scrabble wars to the chaotic joy of Hungry Hungry Hippos and the pure evil of drawing a “Sorry!” card, the brothers relive the classics they grew up with, the ones their kids played, and the adult-party staples that still get pulled out today. After ranking the undisputed heavyweights of tabletop gaming, they do the unthinkable in true “Worst of the Best” fashion: they each pick the one iconic game they’d leave behind on a deserted island forever.
