Episode 66,2 - Party Games, Part 2

The Ascent of Board Games

Happy post-Halloween! Now that everyone's hopped up on sugar (and/or in a sugar crash coma), let's finish our discussion of party games! Come along as we discuss:

• Mike's greatest weakness - a limited knowledge of Campbell's Soup varieties!
• What game company was founded because of a flooded salmon boat?
• "They're Belgian, but that's French enough." (We're sorry.)
• A mercifully brief digression into Marcel Proust's 7-volume À la recherche du temps perdu.

And a few video/picture links we mention along the way:

• A well-shot, well-edited game of Skull: https://boardgamegeek.com/image/2432884/concept
• Polygon plays Wavelength: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pS-XT-5R26Q
