Ep 66: Q&A, Masterpiece Games, and Fundraising Week

It's fundraising week, and that means we're going all out! Not only will we talk about the ways (including some new ways) to support The Thoughtful Gamer, but we're answering listener questions and giving 5 games our "Masterpiece Games" honor! Plus it's our biggest podcast group ever, with Marc, Matt, Orion, Bubba, and Lindsay contributing their thoughts. Every once in a while Amber mutters a comment from across the room. 3:01 - Fundraising Week! 4:22 - Q&A: Ban a game? 8:27 - What is a Masterpiece Game? 12:24 - Masterpiece Game #1: The Resistance 15:44 - Q&A: Guilty pleasure games 20:31 - New opportunity: Looking for podcast sponsors! 21:37 - Q&A: First board game "crushes" 25:33 - Masterpiece Game #2: Twilight Imperium 28:32 - Q&A: Games co-hosts should try 34:04 - New Opportunity: Voiceovers 35:04 - Q&A: Gluten-free baking tips from Lindsay! 38:28 - Masterpiece Game #3: Magic the Gathering 44:51 - Q&A: How has our approach to gaming evolved? 47:50 - New Opportunity: "Final Look" Rulebook Checking 49:50 - Q&A: Game progression for new players 54:45 - Masterpiece Game #4: Dominion 1:01:33 - Q&A: Game peripherals 1:05:44 - Masterpiece Game #5: Chess 1:10:27 - Q&A: Group social behavior norms Music: Sailing The Solar Wind by Abstraction Like the podcast?
