261 – Convention Interviews! – The Family Gamers Podcast

It’s boardgame convention season. We’re not actually attending GenCon or Origins this year, but we’ve still got some interviews with some of the creators of hot new games.

Fact – Kathrine Switzer (first woman to officially run the Boston Marathon) wore bib number 261.

What We’ve Been Playing

Happy City (Gamewright) – a nice laid-back city-building game. And short!

Get the MacGuffin (Looney Labs) – perfect as a 5 minute filler game.

Rescuing Robin Hood (Castillo Games) – more on this later.

Power Plants (Kids Table Board Gaming) – more on this later.

Fleet: The Dice Game (Eagle Gryphon Games)

Super Mega Lucky Box (Gamewright)

SNAP Review: Off to Bed!

Andrew’s too old for this review, so we pull in Elliot instead. If you have a kid under 4 in your life, take a look at the video.

Interview: T from HABA Games

My Very First Games: Animal upon Animal Junior – an update to the old Animal upon Animal Junior.

My First Advent Calendar (with the redemption of Theo the raven!)
