85 – The Family Gamers Podcast – Filler Games with One Board Family
We’re talking this week with Ryan & Erin Gutowski and Ric White, the people behind One Board Family website. Why do they play games? What are a few of their (and our) favorites?
This podcast episode happened because of a football bet. Andrew bet Ryan that the New England Patriots would beat the Jacksonville Jaguars in the playoffs. We’re glad to know Ryan & Erin, and even happier to have them on the show!
One Board Family started about two years ago as a way for Ryan & Erin to share their interest in board games with other people. Ric helped critique Ryan’s writing and then started doing some writing of his own.
We all want to introduce people to new games that they will love.
Ryan and Erin have three kids: 14, 13, 10. All have grown up playing games with the family, and they have gained insight into their different personalities.
Favorite games of all time:
Ryan: Dead of Winter
Andrew: Lords of Waterdeep (with expansions)
Ric: Sherlock Holmes, Consulting Detective
Erin: The Bloody Inn
Anitra: Bring Your Own Book
Favorite Filler Games:
Fuji Flush – a fast-moving game by Friedman Friese, for up to 8 players
Incan Gold (or Diamante)
Super Mario Level Up! (based on “King Me”)
Batman: The Animated Series Dice Game
Ancestree (which we reviewed recently)
