Summary: <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> On this week’s episode of the show we are so happy to invite Helaina and Josh Cappel of <a href="https://www.kidstablebg.com/">Kids Table Board Gaming</a> and <a href="https://www.burntislandgames.com/">Burnt Island Games</a>.<br> <br> <br> <br> 217 Fact: As far as we can find, the earliest recorded game of “association football” (ie. soccer) took place in Derby, England, in the year 217 CE. Wild!<br> <br> <br> <br> Thanks as always to our sponsor, First Move Financial.

Helaina is also a school teacher; Josh does art and game development for their two imprints and Grand Gamers Guild.<br> <br> <br> <br> What We’ve Been Playing<br> <br> <br> <br> Studies in Sorcery – from Weird Giraffe Games. We’ve been playing a prototype, but the full version is <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/weirdgiraffegames/degrees-in-darkness">on Kickstarter right now</a>. It’s only $19, you should definitely check it out.<br> <br> <br> <br> Order of Invention (Breaking Games) – Funny to play this with kids, who often are betting at random. Josh worries that it is a game that gets less fun as you “learn” the cards. We disagree, since there are so many disconnected facts.<br> <br> <br> <br> DO NOT BUY “educational games”. Find <a href="http://www.thefamilygamers.com/episode-186-education-in-quarantine/">good games that are tangential</a> to the things you want to learn.<br> <br> <br> <br> Slide Quest (Blue Orange) – fun for all ages.<br> <br> <br> <br> “I miss doing things NOT with my children.”Anitra<br> <br> <br> <br> We are glad that our kids can play outside (playgrounds, etc.) but there probably won’t be much to do as the weather gets colder. (Long ago, we did a podcast about <a href="http://www.thefamilygamers.com/episode-54-top-outside-games/">games you can play outside</a> and another about <a href="http://www.thefamilygamers.com/episode-92-games-get-you-moving/">games that get you moving</a>.)<br> <br> <br> <br> Codenames: Harry Potter (The OP) – We were surprised! This is a completely cooperative game. Each side of the table takes turns giving clues according to their own side of the clue card. We should know by now that the OP doesn’t just slap a theme on a game, but puts time connecting the theme into the gameplay.<br> <br> <br> <br> Connect 4 – Anitra does not let kids win. Elliot was a little exasperated, but not upset.<br> <br> <br> <br> Caylus (remake from Space Cowboys)- Helaina is really excited for this one, and hoping to play it soon.<br> <br> <br> <br> Samurai (by Reiner Knizia)<br> <br> <br> <br> Magic: The Gathering has hooked Asher, and is helping work through disappointments. (Has carried through to <a href="http://www.thefamilygamers.com/unmatched-cobble-and-fog/">Unmatched</a> too!)<br> <br> <br> <br> SNAP Review: Baby Dragon Bedtime<br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="http://www.thefamilygamers.com/baby-dragon-bedtime/"></a><br> <br> <br> <br> Anitra and Asher review this simple card game. Baby Dragon Bedtime combines deck-building with real-time play and memory aspects. Can your baby dragon make a big enough hoard to make a comfy bed?<br> <br> <br> <br> Read the transcript and see more pictures at the <a href="http://www.thefamilygamers.com/baby-dragon-bedtime/">SNAP review page</a>.<br> <br> <br> <br> Giveaway<br> <br> <br> <br> We’re giving away a copy of Food Fighters! <a href="http://www."></a>
