We've got our Gen Con 2026 lists all recorded and ready to go, we've got more regular episodes in the pipeline, and things are returning. Everything is still a challenge in our personal lives, that's the point of today's episode, but know that we want to be back in your ears, minds, and hearts as soon as possible. So thank you so much for your patience with us and you can expect more glorious Board All the Time content in the very near future! --- We'd like to thank our sponsors as well: Grand Gamers Guild! https://grandgamersguild.com.

Hey hey BATT Family! Welcome to Episode 34! Despite what our intro says, we are actually releasing this as 34. I should have cut all that episode 33 stuff out except I found it hilarious on a meta level for myself, hence why it's still there. We decided to shift some recordings around and that's why this ended up where it did. Turns out that it's not the only flub I made but it all hangs together and it's still a very fun episode. Also, even though we recorded some segments out of our normal order, I decided to leave it that way on purpose. Let me know if you like having the Why Did I Play That before the Topic of the Week or if we should change it back. Regardless! This is another great episode for you and it's just the guys this week without any special guests. We talk components, Ex Libris, a variety of excellent games, and just have a weird and wild time with this. We say it a couple times but by the time this recording ended it was about 4am and was the like sixth thing we recorded that evening. I love weird episodes. Let us know if you do too - [email protected]! Thanks for sticking with us on this, next episode is another Top Ten and this one features the infamous Jen!  --- This episode's segments: 00:00:00 - Intro 00:01:04 - What's Been on the Table 00:07:22 - Why Did I Play That: Ex Libris Revised Edition 00:17:59 - Grand Gamers Guild Sponsor   00:19:15 - Topic of the Week: The Component Rundown 00:42:50 - Table / Shelf / Trade 01:00:50 - Rotating Segment: Surprise Party 01:07:18 - Secret Door Sponsor   01:08:09 - Meeple Source Sponsor 01:09:12 - Victory Roll Sponsor 01:10:02 - Contact Info for BATT and Theater Geeks  01:11:14 - Outro ---   Notes! 1) We recorded our topic of the week before we knew about the Iron Coins from the new Brass Pittsburgh campaign. Those coins are amazing but cost on them reflects that too.  2) There are sometimes I leave stuff in the edit just for me. This is one of those episodes.  3) BuyMeToys is an excellent comics retailer around us and we love them dearly. You can check them out at https://buymetoys.com 4) At the time of this recording we had not played Pittsburgh yet, nor did we have the prototype in hand or even know that we were going to be part of that incredibly succesful campaign, so Lancashire really was a big deal for all of us. When we got invited into the Pittsburgh stuff, it was just an incredible experience. This'll also likely be the last time we get this Brass-y in an episode since we were deep in the throes of playing them all for so long.   5) While the Kickstarter page for Stonespine Architects: Invasion isn't up yet, the pre-launch page on their website is: https://thunderworksgames.com/products/stonespine-architects-invasion-expansion --- We'd like to thank our sponsors as well: Grand Gamers Guild! https://grandgamersguild.com.

Hey hey BATT Family! Welcome to Episode 33 and this one is a super special episode for us. See around Mark's birthday in March each year is MacWagCon and we just play games starting at 7p on Friday and go absurdly late for the next couple days. When we finally wrap up late on Sunday, we're all exhausted. This year's con was the biggest yet and we had some incredible guests join in - including our guest on this particular episode! We had a really great time speaking with Marc Specter from our channel sponsor Grand Gamers Guild. We had a winding conversation discussing what it's like to be a small publisher, licensing and localizing games, editing rulebooks, and fighting off a collector's mentality with him. Jason had a turn at Why Did I Play That this week and somehow caught himself in the blast too. And then we got to talking about a lot of different games in Table Shelf and Trade. It's a longer one this week, we played a lot of games that weekend, but I do think it's a really enjoyable episode regardless. Once you've listened to it, hit us up at [email protected] and let us know what you think or if there is anything else you'd like to know from Marc! --- This episode's segments: 00:00:00 - Intro 00:02:54 - What's Been on the Table 00:09:07 - Topic of the Week: Grand Gamers Guild and Being a Small Publisher 00:27:33 - Grand Gamers Guild Sponsor 00:28:36 - Why Did I Play That: Quartz the Dice Game 00:42:39 - Table / Shelf / Trade 01:17:43 - Secret Door Sponsor   01:18:34 - Meeple Source Sponsor 01:19:37 - Victory Roll Sponsor 01:20:27 - Contact Info for BATT and Theater Geeks 01:21:39 - Outro ---   Notes! 1) We said it in the episode - but to reiterate, this was deep into a convention weekend and all the hosts were exhausted. Our voices were shot and Scott's was suffering even more than the rest. I've tried to minimize the excess noise from coughs and such, but thanks for the patience with that. Additionally my five year old was constantly running around and jumping above us - I've tried my best to reduce that noise as much as possible as well but I know there are moments it's just in there.   2) I've said this on previous episodes with industry guests, but I ended up cutting large pieces of very interesting conversation out to try and reach a relatively okay episode length. For instance, during Marc's segment on What's Been on the Table, we tangented off into about ten minutes on big boxes and storage solutions. It's good stuff, but didn't make sense to keep in that segment, hence why my piece of that segment seems to come out of nowhere. That content will show up in an odds and ends at some point.  3) Similar to the prior note, the rotating segment was cut for length. It'll show up in a future odds and ends.   4) Since the time of recording, Jason has played Off With Their Heads and enjoyed it. It'll likely get talked again in the future because that game really is great.  --- We'd like to thank our sponsors as well: Grand Gamers Guild! https://grandgamersguild.com.

Hey hey BATT Family! Welcome to a little piece of bonus content where we got to sit down and record a conversation with the owners of Victory Roll Café. We had the best of intentions for this to be a formal, sit-down interview but it devolved into us just having too much fun. Add in that they were taking time out of their Holiday Party which had the store completely wall to wall packed and I'm amazed we got the fifteen minutes we did out of all of them. Seriously they're great people and it's a wonderful space that the BATT crew regularly haunts. We'll probably try again and have a full, "professional" interview again with them but know that this definitely won't be the last time that you hear these voices on the podcast. Thanks again to Lisa, Danny, Dori, and Jeff for making the time they could and I hope that you go visit the café as soon as you can! --- We'd like to thank our sponsors as well: Grand Gamers Guild! https://grandgamersguild.com.

Hey hey BATT Family! Welcome to the review for Kaiser Cucumber & the Gangs of McChanicle Corners. This was provided to us by the folks over at Fight in a Box.

Hey hey BATT Family! Welcome to all the new folks that have come into the fold from the Brass content! We're stoked to have you with us.  This episode is one where clearly the crew was having too much fun taking shots at each other. This time around we decided to break down those ambiguous terms of luck, tactics, and strategy to try and have a defined conversation; Scott nailed us with yet another word game (and had us using the phrase Banana Balls multiple times), and then we get into a surprisingly contentious Table Shelf or Trade segment that finishes out with us just feeling old because 2021 shouldn't be five years ago. Thanks for checking this episode out and make sure to let us know what you think of everything by hitting us up on the comments or emailing us at [email protected]! And if you haven't listened to our Brass content yet, go do so!  --- This episode's segments: 00:00:00 - Intro 00:00:48 - What's Been on the Table 00:03:38 - Topic of the Week: Luck, Tactics, and Strategy 00:19:08 - Why Did I Play That: Sequitur 00:30:31 - Grand Gamers Guild Sponsor 00:31:38 - Table / Shelf / Trade 00:55:16 - Rotating Segment: The Archives 01:05:21 - Secret Door Sponsor   01:06:12 - Meeple Source Sponsor 01:07:12 - Victory Roll Sponsor 01:08:03 - Contact Info for BATT and Theater Geeks 01:09:15 - Outro ---   Notes! 1) I'm gonna straight up copy what Roxley said about us in Update 19 here because I'm over the moon that we got this notice from them: "If you want the deepest mechanical breakdown of Brass: Pittsburgh out there right now, look no further than Board All the Time. Their love for the Brass series comes through in every minute of both videos, and their comparison with Birmingham might be the best discussion of what makes Pittsburgh its own thing that we've seen from any creator so far.

Hey hey BATT Family! Welcome to this standalone interview we were lucky enough to have with Tenpenny Parks designer, Nate Linhart. We recorded this right around the time of the Kickstarter campaign going live for the brand new expansions, Winter Lights and Spooky Nights and Innovation and somehow missed releasing it in time for that. So in support of their pledge manager, which is closing next week on March 31, we're finally getting this out to you. We talk the origins of the design for Tenpenny Parks itself, breakdown what the expansions add, and suggest a minor addition that made Nate way too happy. Be sure to check the interview out, hit up their pledge manager if you've not backed it yet, and then get in touch with us about what you think about the interview and if you'd like us to do more like this! Thanks again to Nate for joining us and Thunderworks for providing a copy of the game for us to play!  ---   Notes! 1) The Pledge Manager Link! https://thunderworksgames.com/pages/tenpenny-parks-expansions-pledge-manager 2) The Expansions + Collector's Edition Kickstarter Campaign: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thunderworks/tenpenny-parks-expansions-collectors-edition 3) Tenpenny Parks BGG: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/294702/tenpenny-parks --- We'd like to thank our sponsors as well: Grand Gamers Guild! https://grandgamersguild.com.

Hey hey BATT Family! Welcome to this preview for Brass: Pittsburgh in support of their Gamefound campaign! The new standalone version, and the first one in eight years, of Brass from Roxley Games. This new game is going to feel both familiar to players of Birmingham as well as radically different for all the changes it makes. In this particular episode we're actually comparing all three versions of Brass side by side largely looking at how the gameplay systems are executed on. We've intentionally kept a rules teach out of our Pittsburgh content right now since the rule set (as of this recording) isn't finalized and changes could be forthcoming. Be sure to check the episode out, hit up their Gamefound page, and then get in touch with us about what you think about Brass: Pittsburgh!

It's still the heavy interaction, heavy economic Euro game that everybody loves from the system with some pretty massive updates in the gameplay. We've intentionally kept a rules teach out of our Pittsburgh content right now since the rule set (as of this recording) isn't finalized and changes could be forthcoming. Be sure to check the episode out, hit up their Gamefound page, and then get in touch with us about what you think about Brass: Pittsburgh!
