Rahdo Talks Through

Here's the audio version of the latest Crowd Sorcery, where we're trying something a little different! :)

We've got 20 games to discuss and compare in the latest episode as I slowly keep working my way through the collection! :)

I'm very Jealous of Grant's #5 and very much agree with his #1 :)

This episode sponsored by http://perc.rahdo.com There were some technical difficulties up front, but eventually Ruel got the biggest episode ever of R&R&R up and running, where we're joined by Kimberly and we learn about her and her tastes in boardgames and also about Nic Cage movies in this extended edition of R&R&R :)

This episode sponsored by http://perc.rahdo.com For the first time ever, Kimberly joins us for the R&R&R show to do a countdown of the hidden gems of 2021, and I she (as well as Ruel and Chris and dare i say I) delivered! :)

Here's an hour of chitchat between Ruel and I from the live stream today where we got together to play Glory to Rome. So this file is the jibber-jabber between us before and after the game :)

Here we are in the extended edition of the show where Chris dives deep into the life of a working actor in Canada, there's a new This or That, and some from chitchat in addition to the top 15 :)

Ruel, Chris & I are back with a fun new topic for you to enjoy :)

Alex has got a lot more games he's found ending their campaigns soon, and I sadly say goodbye to the open road in this episode of CROWD SORCERY!

Today I'm comparing 18 awesome games and effectively eliminating half of them! Actually, it's 20 I talk about, but I couldn't decided on the final choice, so I left it as a cliffhanger! :)

As always, Grant simultaneously entertains me and tells me about games I hadn't prior heard of!

Being on the road, it helps to have friends like Might I Suggest A Game to keep all the shows coming to you, and Alex does such an amazing job of researching for CROWD SORCERY, you're sure to find a game or two that will turn your fancy. And as a bonus, I just discovered Alex and I share the same birthday! What are the chances?!?
