Hey hey BATT Family! Thanks for your patience while this one came out a bit late. Please see the note below. But we had MacWagCon 2025 happen and we wanted to talk through all the games! We got to play an enormous amount of stuff over three days of gaming and it was a great array to be able to discuss. In addition to all of those we take a very quick jaunt through what can make a teach a difficult time (we'll definitely be revisiting this topic in the future) and unpacking the trauma that Scott ended up enduring in this week's Why Did I Play That?. We hope you enjoyed this episode and we'll catch you next week as we release Episode 20, our Top Ten Games That We Enjoy Teaching!

--- Notes!
1) Apologies on this episode being a week late. The week that I was intending to sit down and do this editing, we had a severe family emergency. When we got back home from that a few days later, we went through terrible storms and our power was knocked out for three days. Certainly not intentional to have all that happen, but thankfully all is well at this point.
2) Here's the link for Quinns doing his "Mastering the Teach" video. It's great and I still review it occassionally. https://www.shutupandsitdown.com/videos/how-to-teach-board-games-like-a-pro/
3) We said Hues and Clues at one point, we meant Hues and Cues. Whoops.
4) We aren't sponsored by MeepleSource, but I do love them dearly. If you want to check out their incredible Cat Lady resources, they're here: https://meeplesource.com/proddetail.php?prod=CatLady
