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 Tasty Minstrel GamesBoardGameTables.com, Arcane Wonders & Meeple Realty.  Brandon's world travels have been grounded... He's now limited to domestic travels (no, not really) and Josh quizzes him on his recent trip to Las Vegas, Nevada with Robb and Christina of Blue Peg Pink Peg. A brief glance at the Brawling Brothers guild shows lots of excitement for Rising Sun from Cool Mini or Not.  Josh shares his love of Civilization (Avalon Hill) with us in the "TNT: Then" segment, and we share all of the games we've been playing (like Downforce and Ex Libris).  Our Godfather Review lands and we deep dive into this popular area control game, then the episode concludes with Josh and Brandon revealing their top 21-30 board games of all time!
