If it’s been a while you’ve been in first place… well… that can be challenging to fix!

Catching up in games can be like climbing a mountain, but designers have catch up mechanics up their sleeves to help. But are these mechanics necessary? Do they help build skill or just make the bad players win? This week on the show, Evan, Steve & Robert dive into all things catch up!

Boysober

Boysober

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
