Questions? Comments? You can now text us directly!

Join us as we journey beyond our 100th episode. We're knee-deep in the re-sleeving adventure of our Marvel Champions card collection, wrestling with the decision between Titan Shield and other brands. Our tales of color-coding fiascoes and the satisfying zen of organizing cards might just convince you to give your own collection a makeover.

Imagine stepping into the shoes of a 1970s rock star. We bring you the groovy vibes with a breakdown of "Rock Hard 1977," a board game created by Jackie Fox of The Runaways. We share our thoughts on the thematic elements, the nostalgia it evokes, and the spatial acrobatics required to play it, not to mention some light-hearted musings on the temptations of the rock lifestyle.

The episode hits a high note with a discussion on balancing fantasies with historical realities in board games, followed by a nostalgic quiz about 1970s rock classics.

Plus, we celebrate personal milestones, like the arrival of our new niece and rediscovering hobbies like collecting basketball cards and playing bass guitar. Wrapping things up, we invite you to nominate your favorite games for the 2024 Married and Boredies, hint at exciting future interactions, including a potential Discord channel.
