It's that time of year again, when everyone's plays reset and your challenges end for the year. In this episode Craig talks with Erin about their myriad plays trying to finish a 200x1 by the end of the year and then Matt and Derek stop by to talk about their yearly plays and unfinished challenges. Happy Holidays, everyone!

In this episode of The New Ones, Craig talks about some lighter games; dice, cards, and who knows what else.

It's the one hundred and second episode of the podcast, and somewhere buried deep in the here is at least one person talking about games. It's like an Easter Egg hunt to find the chat about an actual game. May the odds be ever in your favor!

Possible topics include ...Holiday Fluxx? Christmas Gifts? Betrayal Legacy? Brass? Arkham 3rd? 

We've been putting shows out for four years now, not regularly or anything, but it's been four years, so get off my back about it. In this episode we stick to the NEW NEW format of a one hour show, only going over by 7 minutes. Tyler talks for for almost a half an hour, and Craig holds Matt and Derek to about a half an hour. It's a Thanksgiving miracle.

In this installment of The New Ones, Craig tries his best to upset every board gamer ever by explaining his distaste of some incredibly popular games. There's no accounting for taste, apparently.

It's that time again, it's time for a new episode! I'm sure you're as surprised as me, and I'm the one posting this. In this not-at-all-special episode, you get the usual crew in the third segment talking about a few games, but mainly chatting about the periphery surrounding games. It's a thing, right? Tyler stops by in the third segment and, whether you want to believe it or not, he actually talks! Hope you enjoy and talk to you soon~

In this, the 97th episode of the Botch Games podcast, we begin with some troubling news: we've put out another episode. Like, who does this, keeps at something this long, almost four years, in some Sisyphean hellscape? Ah well, at least Craig is joined by some wonderful people. Like his lovely wife Erin, who is currently on a 134 game win streak against her ne'er do well husband. Or how about Matt and Derek, making the third segment now 100% full of dads. Enjoy the episode, your medal is in the mail.
