The 80th episode of the podcast is a weird one. My family has disappeared and I don't know where they went. Please, someone find them and make them play games with me. Seriously though, we haven't played games in over two weeks, so Erin and Tyler get a recording reprieve. For guests, though, Craig is joined by Kimberly Revia from The Cubist and Granite Game Summit and Ruth Boyack from the 5 By Games Podcast. In their chat, the three of them discuss building your own con and the work that goes into it being a successful venture. If you've ever wanted to have your own gig, at home or elsewhere, tune in for the sweet deets.

Passing the 3/4 mark, Craig trudges through his quest to play 100 new games. Though the time frame has passed, the releases have not! In this episode, Craig covers La Granja and its multi-use card goodness, the epicness that is Ticket to Ride Rails and Sails, building a window pane in Sagrada, cube bag building and racing in Automobiles, and a whole swath of useless national knowledge in Bezier's America. Spoiler! I liked all of them!

In a back to back extravaganza, Craig posts ANOTHER New 100 episode. You;d think he feels bad for missing another main episode. Perhaps he feels guilty for missing his July deadline for New 100 episodes. No matter the cause, he's back with five new games: two expansions, two giant games, and one he was forced to play with no knowledge of the source material. it's a real mixed bag, folks!

In the newest section of Craig's attempt at 100 new games in 365 days, he delves back into games that he played nearly 5 months ago.. You know, like responsible podcasts do. Five new games, more winners than losers, all in all a decent batch. First up, it the Rochester draft train game, First Class, and auction/negotiation/set collection game Coloseum. The we have a point salad sandwich in a card game bun as Craig talks Camel Up Cards, Gold West from J. Alex Kevern, and finally Kingsport Festival the Card Game to wrap things up in a Cthulhu bun. Thans for tolerating the filler as we gear up for episode 77 soon!
