Episode 10: Through the Portal
Sorry we're late! This week we have a very exciting interview and talk about a nifty roll and write we played. This mini-episode will mark the end of our first season, as we are no longer on the road and are going to be making significantly more properer types of episodes (with a laptop!), so y'all have that to look forward to. See you soon!

Episode 9 - A Rough Translation

Episode 8: Overcompensating Now
We saw all the sights in Athens and had some time left over so we figured we'd sneak in another episode while we could. Thanks to Kaissa Cafe for not caring at all one way or the other that we recorded there. Sidebar: There were riots in Athens the day after we left it, which makes this the second time we've missed riots by one day. I digress: Finally, thanks to you for being interested in what we have to say, whether you're listening for the reviews of foreign game cafes or game recommendations or travel updates. We like you and we love you.

Episode 7: A Very Very Late Episode
Oh, THERE you are! We've been away for a while, sorry about that. The good news is that it means we have a lot to talk about! Travel, new friends, Essen Spiel, and we will even answer some questions! Also, it's our first episode to span an entire continent, which is an impressive way to say it's taken way too long to make this

Episode 3: Stay Chill, Guys
This episode we are all over the place! We start off in Glasgow, then go to Inverness, then back in time all the way to last Thursday. A huge shout out and thank you to Ross Brain and his establishment West End Games. Also the game we suggested for Steve was Not Alone but it cut out right as Chalene said the title so it sounded like she said "Alone" so don't go looking for that game, Steve.
