Above the Board with Josh and Phil

Josh and Phil excitedly unbox our Commander Fallout decks! We'll discuss classic fantasy RPGs and D&D and Lord of the Rings before we get into discussing all these Magic releases and our Chess strategies. Then after all that shuffling we play Commander, beginner's luck vs 30 years of experience!

Can we stop the scurvy horde from destroying our towers? In this playthrough of Castle Panic, we’ll name the red zone the “Red Dunes of Carchecka”, wash some goblins in dawn soap, and ponder the effectiveness of friendly barbarians!

This time we geek on Madame Web as a 00s period piece, new and old TV like Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Better Call Saul, new music like "Smile" and "Future Island" and "Usher", Ninja Turtles in Fortnite, "Whalefall" and it's lack of Pinnoccio, Marvel Snap strategy, and video game remasters like Final Fantasy, Mario and Donkey Kong, and Metroid Prime.

Join us on our spirited journey into the world of Distilling adult beverages and learn to say Cachaça. Distilled is a press-your-luck euro-style game and a delight to play!

This time we get excited about Starfield and Oscar-Bait movies. Phil catches up on Loki and Josh plays Alan Wake 2 with family. Then we get a little hyped for the upcoming Wyrmspan!

Spoiler alert: there's no Cartographers episode.

Josh and Phil work together to save the citizens of Haven Town from the zombie horde in "Shadowrift."

Join Josh and Phil as Alontrius and Sarah Slayer as they face the Mudlands in a search for treasure and glory!

Join us as we suddenly become circus leaders! Scout is a unique card game where the order of your hand is fixed! Listen as we tell you how great our shows are in the ladder-climbing game!

Special appearance of Stromboli from Pinocchio!

For our Christmas Special, we came to play games and talk about sweaters! Join us as we play through the trick-taking and drafting game, Ugly Christmas Sweaters! We'll try to use trendy yarn and perfect fits to get some sweaters for Brainy Brian, Rosemary, Cousin Ramey, Auntie JoAnn, Nola's Grandpa, and Spoon (the hairless cat)!  #uglychristmassweaters #boardgames #dads #dadsplayingboardgames

Sammy, Dan M.D., and Stephanie enter the house, but what haunts them?  Is it the T-Virus? New music by KoRn? So many USB Cables in the junk room? Donald Glover parodying Tyler Perry? Chihuahuas?!?!

Get above the board with us and our guest Nate! We also discuss the differences between 2nd and 3rd edition.

What's Nathan Townsend Geeking On? We get into it with our friend about Andor and what is a good Star Wars show? Is She-Hulk the show we expected? How come Nate is just now playing Breath of the Wild? How cool is Skyrim VR? Is Hellraiser just Jumanji for adults? Can Josh straighten out the Halloween time-lines? Talking about all this and more before we get into the board game!

As "Shadows Flicker Like Flame" and "River Surges in Sunlight", can we work with the Dahan to scare off the invaders? Let's play Spirit Island, but every time we generate fear, will pick a phobia we created!

What does it mean to be afraid of love?
Fast powers: Pigeons or Doves?
Is Junkyard Surge safe for consumption?
Are we afraid of Hocus Pocus witches?

Let's play "Clank! A Deck-Building Adventure"! As braggadocios thieves, we steal treasure from an old dragon. Can we make it out alive with the loot?

We play like Love and Thunder, but who is who? Also, should you be collecting all those versions of Monopoly? Is putting in an 8-hour day of gaming different than work?

Let us know if you like the new format!

Trying something new starting this week!  Here's the stuff we're geeking on before we start playing Clank!

We're geeking on Jurassic World, Thor: Love and Thunder, Moss, Ghost of Tsushima (or sashimi?), Alex Garland's "Men", Superman American Alien, Jordan Peele's "Nope", Dawncaster the mobile deckbuilding RPG, and more!
