Josh is going it alone on this first minisode of ICFTT. 

We were deeply saddened by the new of Leonard Nimoy's passing. We couldn't make it to the funeral either so we spent some time on Sunday afternoon remembering the friend we never knew.

Josh Look and friends discuss The Enemy Within, the fifth episode of Star Trek.

We asked for your questions, and you provided! Some of you used Instagram, some of you used voicemail, but however you reached out, your voice was heard. We chose only a few to answer (quality notwithstanding), but we'd love to keep doing this, so keep sending them in! 

What could be a more important topic than importance itself? 

Games that almost nail it

Now, that many of us no longer meet in person, many face-to-face games groups have stopped meeting and have gone online. Of course, online isn't the same as "in real life", so I want to use this article to look at how my virtual board gaming experience compares to playing with people sitting around a real table.

I know this is going to come as a shock, but sometimes we get things wrong. As we've worked our way through the hobby, we've discovered that some positions we once held, aren't ones we still do. So it's time to revisit our past transgressions and come clean. 

It's a Social Deduction BGBBOB! For those that don't know what that means, it's a Board Game Barrage Battle of (the) Board...games, where we pit all of the best social deduction games against each other in a fight to the DEATH! Or at least, a fight to be on our definitive ranked list. Before we release our social butterflies, we talk about Gemblo, and Quest.

When you're playing a game for the first time, and barely know what you're even doing, how do you even begin to strategize? 

This episode we are covering a new TV show based on a board game, awards, Golden Bell customer service and a variety of publisher issues.

This episode we are covering Gen Con stuff, how you should and should not ship games and Candy Land's history. 

This episode we are covering bumpy cardstock, Hasbro and Magic the Gathering teaming up, and ways to spookify your D&D session this holiday.

This episode we are covering Award nominees, Publisher transparency, A UK Games Expo Banning and Netflix?

Welcome to our podcast! We're a bunch of Atlanta-area nerds that like talking about board games almost as much as we like playing them. Our stated mission is to talk about how board game mechanics and concepts have evolved over the years...but really, we just like talking about games. (And picking on each other.)

This episode we are covering taxes, people leaving companies and how to lose weight while playing board games.

Also, if you have listened to our show we would love to hear some thoughts from you Here.

To make it through quarantine, we take another look at digital games in a time when it might just be our only option. We've got to get our board game fill somehow! 

We're joined by Richard Simpson of We're Not Wizards, who is definitely not a magician, Victorian or otherwise, to talk about the line between game design and production. Should production values be an integral part of the discussion of a game's merits, or should we learn to separate the two? 

This episode we are covering the future of board games, board game injuries, and kickstarter’s union status.

Look, digital gaming is great and all, but there are some games that either don't lend themselves well to the format, or aren't available.
