Boardgames To Go 179 - Essen Anticipation 2017

BGTG 50 - Jan 24, 2006 - A Look Back at Essen (with Mike Siggins): My fiftieth podcast! Wow, I really wasn't sure I'd ever make it this far when I started last March. The show has morphed a bit over time, mostly in response to some limitatation I want to address or opportunity I want to seize. The feedback has been prett by Boardgames To Go

BGTG 58 - May 17, 2006 - SR: Ticket to Ride: Märklin, Buy Low Sell High, Dschunke and Feedback: See? I told you I'd get a show out this week. Just had to ignore my family to get it done. (I'm kidding.) Don't know if I will, but I think I should try to knock out a couple more semi-smaller shows featuring session reports and some feedback. We'll see. by Boardgames To Go

BGTG 61 - Aug 2, 2006 - Friendly, Local Game Stores: Whew! Finally a new show. Like the last time I (unintentionally) took a little time off from the podcast, it was a little hard to get back into the swing of things. Last time I thought a simpler Session Report and Feedback show was the way to get back int by Boardgames To Go

BGTG 55 - April 4, 2006 - "Dark Johnson" Interview (with David Arnott): Dave Arnott sprung this show on me, turning the tables on the interviewer. His plan was to expose me for the sinister, heartless gamer that I really am. Of course, the plan backfired and I come out smelling like a rose. :)No, he just asks some fun questio by Boardgames To Go

BGTG 57 - April 30, 2006 - Ordering Overseas: Here's a shorter show that I've wanted to do for a while, talking about how I've ordered games from overseas. Up until just recently that always meant Germany--albeit from a few different webshops--but last week I placed an order through a Dutch website, by Boardgames To Go

BGTG 64 - Oct 23, 2006 - SR & Feedback show (Thurn und Taxis, Gene Pool, Wallamoppi): I'm starting to catch up with some older feedback as I begin to do more Session Report shows again. I had a bit of a cold while recording this one, but I hope it still sounds ok. And I sure hope I edited out all the times I coughed!Something I forgot to m by Boardgames To Go

BGTG 62 - Sep 18, 2006 - Dialing it Back: Okay.That was a long break, wasn't it? Too long? I think so. In other words, I haven't quit the podcast. I want to do more... I will do more. But in this episode I explain how a combination of internal choices & external pressures has led to this majo by Boardgames To Go

BGTG 38A - Oct 4, 2005 - Euro/Wargame Hybrids (with Mike Siggins): Listener, Siggins.Siggins, Listener.The oldtimers in this hobby will recognize the name instantly, as well as my play on Ken Tidwell's introduction of Mike Siggins to his new readers on the Internet. Mike was one of the earliest writers and savvy reviewer by Boardgames To Go

BGTG - May 28, 2005 (Intro to Strategy Boardgames): This show may not be as interesting to listeners who have been enjoying this hobby for a while. But as I mentioned in a previous show, I think it's important that this podcast have one show intended for newcomers. Though there are at least a couple more b by Boardgames To Go

BGTG 59 - June 2, 2006 - SR: Settlers of the Stone Age, Wyatt Earp, Safeknacker, Modern Art, Pirate's Cove (and Feedback): Once again, I hope people are reading the blog as well as listening to the podcast. Because I often think of things I missed after the podcast is finished. (It's not just me--the host for the highly recommended BBC Radio 4 program In Our Time does the sam by Boardgames To Go

BGTG 46a - January 2, 2006 - SR: Lots of games, and Feedback: Yea! I finally got to record a new podcast! I needed to do a fair bit of catching up, which meant the podcast got to be pretty long. With that in mind I split it into two parts. This is the first part, about an hour of me catching up for lost time and tal by Boardgames To Go

BGTG 48 - Jan. 14, 2006 - Retrospective on 2005: For a long time I've posted a retrospective on my past year in the hobby, first to rec.games.board, then spielfrieks, then my blog. This year, of course, I've shifted it over to a podcast episode. That's the first big shift. The other comes from not havin by Boardgames To Go

BGTG 47 - Jan. 8, 2006 - Behind the Scenes at BGTG: This is more or less an update of the "intro to podcasting" show I did way back in May, 2005. It's especially intended for people who might start up their own boardgame podcast--whether they were thinking about it already or not! It might also be of some by Boardgames To Go

BGTG 52 - Feb.26, 2006 - SR: Vinci, Wallenstein, Hansa, and Tikal (all play-by-web) and Feedback: Back to another Session Report & Feedback show, and back to my usual recording setup.

BGTG 53a - Mar 6, 2006 - All About La Città (with Jonathan Degann, part 1): Finally! Another All About show, which are the sort that everyone seems to love best.

BGTG 60 - June 14, 2006 David Arnott Leftovers about Medici, Elasund (and Hacienda): During the All About Vinci show, my guest Dave Arnott thought to bring up something we'd failed to cover during our previous All About show, covering Medici almost a year ago. Rather than include that in the Vinci show, I clipped that part out to be used by Boardgames To Go

BGTG 65 - Oct 27, 2006 - Post-Essen Show (with Mike Siggins): As promised, here's the post-Essen followup show.

BGTG 63 - Oct 15, 2006 - Pre-Essen Show: Just like last year, I can't help sharing some of my excitement about the Essen game fair happening this week . . . even though I won't be going.

BGTG 36B - All About Verräter (with Greg Aleknevicus - Part 2): Here's part 2 of the show, the longer part that is the in-depth treatment of Verräter. You know, I'd love to get a translation of Casasola Merkle's "Entsehung" page for the game. It tells the story of the game's development. I can understand part of it u by Boardgames To Go

BGTG 51 - Feb.13, 2006 - SR: Jenseits von Theben, Vegas Showdown, Bolide, Zahltag, and Feedback: This episode became my white whale. It was a struggle to get it recorded, edited, partially scrapped & re-recorded, and finally posted. Towards the end, I have to admit that I just gave up a little bit, posting it even though I'm still not happy with by Boardgames To Go

BGTG 49 - Jan 21, 2006 - Five & Dime Lists (with Mark JACKson): Though it's happening less often nowadays, in the past people have confused Mark Jackson and myself. Though that's mostly due to the similarity in our names, we have some similar tastes in games (e.g. original Entdecker), we've crossed paths a few times, by Boardgames To Go

BGTG 24 - July 9, 2005 - Two-player games SR: Jambo, Starship Catan, Richelieu, Flowerpower: This show was something of a hybrid, an audio session report that had an overall theme: 2-player games. That's because the most recent Santa Clarita Boardgamer session just had two players! Myself and BGTG logo designer Greg Wilzbach. We got in some good by Boardgames To Go

BGTG - July 5, 2005 - SR: Smarty Party Jr., Attacktix, Geschenkt, Oceania: Once again I included my son Sam on the podcast. This show is an audio session report for some games played with family over the 4th of July holiday weekend. So it's got some angst about getting family to play the sort of games I like, trying to pick thin by Boardgames To Go

BGTG 39 - Oct. 9, 2005 - Essen Anticipation: No, I'm not going to Essen this year. But I managed to go once, back in 2003, and not going never stopped me from getting excited about the event. In this podcast I talk about what observed myself when I got to attend, explain why I (normally) don't get w by Boardgames To Go

BGTG 56 - April 15, 2006 - All About Vinci (with David Arnott): I was on vacation last week. No, not at the Gathering of Friends, I was in Hawaii with my family. I thought I might catch up on a little podcasting backlog or at least spruce up the web page. Instead, I ended up doing what I should've planned on all along by Boardgames To Go

BGTG 37 - September 25, 2005 - Mark's Wargaming Credentials: Although this podcast will never be about wargames in a substantial way, I still play the occasional wargame and still consider myself a wargamer. Just an infrequent one. :-) Even though I don't play them so often, my interest in military history remains by Boardgames To Go

BGTG 29 -The Wife Show: It's been a long time coming, but I finally got my wife Candy to join me for a podcast.
