31 | Second Chance (The Game and Let’s Just Call This Season 2)
8/2/2020
We’re back! It’s been almost a year since our last episode. What did we miss? We’ll just say the first 30 episodes were Season 1, and like any TV show worth its salt, we wanted you to wait a year for the next season. Ok not really… we got busy, things got crazy, 2020 happened, but here we are and we’re looking forward to talking with you again about wine and board games! This week’s featured game is á propos, Second Chance , a flip-and-write tetris-fest by legendary game designer, Uwe Rosenberg. What started as an impulsive beach-week purchase turned into a game we’ve played an awful lot over the past month. Are we still eager to give it a go or ready to bury on the back of the shelf? We discuss this, as well as our recent foray (along with the rest of the world) into online gaming including our experiences playing 18xx games online with 18xx.games. All this while enjoying one of our favorite wines of the quarantine, the Paris Valley Road Founders’ Blend. Connect with us: Send us a tweet @boardandwine, follow us on Instagram @cardboardandwine, or join us in our BGG Guild! If you’d like to support the show, you can find us on Patreon. We appreciate the wine money!

30 | Circle the Wagons and Sprawlopolis (Fit in Your Pocket)
8/23/2019
One of our most pleasant surprises over the past few months is discovering Button Shy Games, producers of microgames that consist of 18 cards (or fewer) and come in a minimalistic bi-fold wallet. Certainly the small footprint of these titles is welcome for those of us whose Kallax shelves runneth over. But how much gameplay … Continue reading 30 | Circle the Wagons and Sprawlopolis (Fit in Your Pocket)

29 | Euphoria (Dystopian Bliss)
7/28/2019
When you pop the shrink on a Stonemaier game, you know you will be treated to premium components and thoughtful game design. Pair that with a quirky, unique dystopian theme, and we are certainly intrigued!

28 | Tiny Towns (Regular-Sized Meeples, Tiny Towns)
6/3/2019
When we saw the box art and components for Tiny Towns, it just looked like our type of game. There are plenty of wooden bits, oversized cards, friendly and approachable artwork, and a rulebook that’s streamlined and to the point.

The thing about Arboretum is that everyone seems to like it. We have friends who would rather walk across hot coals than play a Splotter game who rave about it. We’ve also received recommendations for Arboretum from some of our heaviest gaming partners...

2/12/2019
We love birds. We also appreciate games that are beautifully and thoughtfully produced. So when Wingspan by Stonemaier Games was announced, we were all over it (meaning we broke our pact to not buy new games in 2019). This game has engine building,

The Mind – is it a game? an activity? an experience? an experiment? It’s a game… it’s definitely a game. But with that out of the way, is the insane amount of buzz for such a simple card game justified? With the imminent Pandasaurus release of The Mind...

13 | New York Slice (Don’t Play When Hungry)
7/31/2018
We love a good theme, and New York Slice by Bézier Games may be the best, most thorough implementation of theme in a board game that we’ve seen. In this case, it’s pizza! From the awesome, photorealistic pizza tiles (thin slice, of course),
