Boards & Swords
Summary: Have you ever thought: Tabletop gaming podcasts just aren't cringe worthy enough? Have you ever made terrible jokes like "If Noah found a pig murdered, would it be an Ark-ham Horror?" Then you should check out Boards & Swords, the podcast featuring Bad Jokes, Good Folks, and Tabletop games. Every other week, Chris and Philip show what happens when you let Dad Jokes get dangerously close to tabletop games.

Yes I (Chris) realize that Gen Con was last week, but I suck at planning out when our episodes drop. So in this episode, hear about what we thought were going to be of interest to us at Gen Con, then in the next episode you can hear what actually was played and looked at.

For probably the first time ever, Philip brings us a good topic to discuss - what games would we recommend in different categories for people who are tired of “entry” games like Ticket to Ride and Catan?

Plenty of reviews to fill your ears with this week! Collin and Cindy are back from vacation, and the Origins awards were announced!
Not really any reviews this week, but Collin and Chris played Twilight Imperium 4 together, and Collin and Cindy are about to go on vacation, so we take a look at our Top 5 games to take on vacation.
In this episode, Collin and Cindy take the reins and talk about a few games that they have been playing! Plus, you have about 24 hours left to enter our contest to win a set of Easy Roller Dice!
We talk about our Patreon, a couple of quick games we’ve been playing, then discuss what our current top 10 favorite board games are!
