Brawling Brothers Boardgaming Podcast

The Brawling Brothers Boardgaming Podcast is a biweekly podcast that focuses on board games, card games and RPGs. The original Brawlers (Josh and Brandon) are 2 friends who like very different types of games. The show focuses on these differing preferences and (hopeless) attempts to sway each other's opinion. Each show includes light, friendly banter, a game review (in print), a combative segment called "Brawling and Boardgaming", a check in on BGG's "Hotness" and a brief discussion of a topic that has importance to us... Well, one of us, at least. While the "Brawling and Boardgaming" can get a bit heated at times, Josh and Brandon play games for the same reason: SOCIAL INTERACTION. The Brawlers love of meeting new people, playing games with old friends and interact with gamers all around the world is the simple reason that Brawling Brothers was founded. Join us as we attempt to spread our influence throughout the gaming community, encouraging people to form gaming groups, organize events, and evaluate just how great (OR NOT) those old games that Josh loves really are. Let's hope we can agree to disagree before a major fight breaks out!

This episode brought to you by BoardgameTables.com and Meeple Realty - An action packed episode begins with Brandon and a knife fight (no, really!).  Josh continues his (never-ending) Quest for the Beef Sandwich and recounts how awesome really bad service can be.  Brandon gives Josh a few valuable lessons in the way kickstarter works, and Josh discovers people can see what hes been backing (see what I did there??! - you will after you listen to this segment!). Ryan Bruns, Tupperware Champion and president of Mayday Games joins us for a little chat.  Ryan comes up with a Mayday Games sponsored giveaway on the fly that will certainly interest many of you!  Josh proclaims that all of our listeners are on treadmills hydrating with whiskey and Brandon dives deep into his GenCon 2016 recap. Oh yeah, and games - We talk about games too.

This episode brought to you by BoardgameTables.com and Meeple Realty - Josh clearly doesn't know how to speak... Is it "ATAT Walker" or "A T A T Walker" - He thinks he knows the answer to all things Star Wars... Thinks!  We discuss the War Room Studio Rebuild and query the audience for suggestions - Help make War Room Studio A GREAT!  It's time for a checkin on the Brawling Brothers Guild! Topics include: Regalos del Verano wrapup, Most disappointing game of 2016, Castles of Ron Burgundy & a mention by our friends at Polyhedron Collider.  We fire up our REVAMPED "Then" segment with a look at Killer from Steve Jackson Games and then jump into our first ever War Room Studio Redeaux with a glance back at Specter Ops.  Crokinole dominates our "Now" discussion (and our play time).  Our Spartacus Board Game Review is one that we've wanted to do for a long time - it isn't Cult of the New, but we've decided to do a few older games that we want to review!  We wrap up with discussion about the mysterious and delicious Black Maple Hill Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon.

This episode brought to you by BoardgameTables.com and Meeple Realty - We have absolutely no clue what Pokemon Go is and our conversation proves that - We do, however know exactly what Overwatch is (and B LOVES it).  We get back to giving away games thanks to MVP Games.  Josh confesses that part 1 of his Supremacy discussion didn't go as planned & we propose a format revision to rectify this going forward.  Josh has to be taught what a McMansion is and refuses to discuss his Star Wars: Edge of the Empire campaign.  We both do our best impression of a Network Executive as talk through our The Networks Board Game Review and then we preview all the biggest and baddest titles upcoming at Gencon 2016.

This episode brought to you by BoardgameTables.com and Meeple Realty - A fun filled episode, RIDDLED with mistakes (Gotta catch em all!) - Our summer travels are quickly winding down and we attempt to shake the rust off.  As a welcome back gift, Josh plays a joke on Brandon and he needs new ear drums! Josh makes sure to check in on all embarrassing iTunes reviews, including one from j5ldh.  Can anyone tell us what a Luscious Delectable Helicopter is?!  Our 4th of July celebrations are proceeded by Brandon's 95th birthday!  We check in on our BGG Guild and - What's this?!? - the heathens (brawlers?) are calling for a  Solo Josh episode??? Then is crusty and musty in a SUPREME way, and begins with a supreme theft!  We delicately explore the phallic tendencies of Mare Nostrum & consider writing a jingle for our friends at Asmodee.  In questions from a hat we discuss our favorite gaming accessories, compare video games to board games, name our favorite 6 player games and proudly proclaim our favorite podcasts (board gaming and otherwise).  As with every 10th episode, we wrap up with a bleep filled outtake roll from the previous 10 shows - If you don't laugh, we owe you a churro!

This episode brought to you by BoardgameTables.com and Meeple Realty - Josh unveils his revolutionary idea for "3d ENRICHING EXPERIENCES" followed by his confessions about having no clue how to use modern technology.  We bust into some excellent discussion involving karaoke, followed closely by a great cheap champagne story (what a pairing!).  Brandon falls victim to his love for Churros and falls off the diet bandwagon for a day.  HeavyCon, a small convention experience by Heavy Cardboard, dominates majority of our discussion.  Brandon talks about his experience with heavy games at the convention, including Arkwright by Capstone Games, Kanban from Stronghold Games and Trickerion (published by APE Games). The show wraps up with a lengthy Jon Gilmour interview.  Listen in and hear about the Dead of Winter development process, get an inside scoop on the upcoming expansion; Dead of Winter: Long Night and hear about his newest project Heroes and Tricks (currently on Kickstarter)
