The Gaming Moguls
Episode 66: Wishful Thinking
Mark, Sobhi and special guest Nick from Talking Cardboard engage in a lot of wishful thinking about what we want to play at Gaming Moguls Summer Muster 2024. As you could predict, Mark wants to play a lot of Euros, Nick wants to play a lot of Wargames, and Sobhi doesn't dare as long as there are trains.

Episode 62: Mark’s Top 20 of 2022
Time again for that annual look back at Mark's best-of-the-best. It's probably the most pure list ever - since very few "new hotness" games were played in 2022. Where does Age of Steam land this year? Did Ark Nova crack the list? Is it once again all Uwe Rosenberg?

Our favorite time of year is when we review our top 20 games of the year to see how our tastes evolve over the year. We count 'em down from 20 to 1 and talk about the ones that almost made the list. To nobody's surprise - Jake likes the trains and Tom Lehmann - and there are plenty of those on the list. What's #1 - and are you Team Jake?

Episode 52 – Nemesis Games
Jake's back and he's got games to talk about. We run through the games we've played including Decrypto, Cribbage, Trade on the Tigris, Santa Monica, Burano, Great Western Trail and Sleeping Gods. After that we run a lot of short topics up the flagpole - including those bedeviling games that we love but can't win to save our lives. We also ponder as to if 18xx has jumped the shark?
