Episode 98: Aaron B. (Game Enthus) - The Remaster’s Era - Top 5 Games We Like to Teach - Lunch Time Gaming & Getting RecognizedHey everyone! I’m excited to introduce Aaron, also known as Game Enthus on social media, who’s joining me to chat about all those games that are getting remastered, remade, updated with a second edition, brought back, or republished with some tweaks. We’re gonna try to nail down what exactly defines the “Remaster’s Era” of tabletop gaming. Then, we’ll share our top 5 favorite games to teach others. We’ll wrap up with some feel-good stories about gaming with coworkers during lunch and those moments when we get recognized. Oh, and we almost forgot to mention—we usually team up to teach a game on the Learn and Play schedule at PAX Unplugged. So, if you’re heading there, come join us for a fun game!00:00:00 Intro00:00:54 Get to know Aaron B.00:06:08 The Remasters Era in Board Games00:33:06 Top 5 Games we Enjoy Teaching00:35:51 Hues and Cues00:39:22 River of Gold00:41:54 Panda Royale00:45:20 Wok and Roll00:47:30 So Clover!00:50:02 Duck and Cover00:53:13 Faraway00:56:36 CitiesCities USA01:00:10 Green Team WinsGreen Team Wins Again01:03:28 Seti: Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Kanban EVSweet Lands01:08:00 Honorable Mentions01:08:05 Chicken Fried Dice01:10:55 Takenoko01:12:33 Moments of Positivity in Gaming01:16:52 Where can you find Aaron?Game Enthus on LintreeGame Enthus Podcast WebsiteAaron’s Youtube Channel - @GameEnthusThe Five By Podcast Website / BGG Listing(Please note that these time stamps might not be accurate due to the use of dynamic ads.)We hope you will come join us for fun games with all the fun people at BGG.CON 2026. https://boardgamegeek.com/bggcon or https://tabletop.events/conventions/bgg.con-2026Web: https://boardgamegeek.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@boardgamegeekTwitter: https://twitter.com/BoardGameGeekEmail: [email protected]
