Episode 66 - Party Games, Part 1

The Ascent of Board Games

Hi folks! We're back this month to talk about party games, though the last week or so hasn't been as much fun as we'd like. Between scheduling issues and hurricane-induced power outages, this episode was a bit rushed; as a result, it's ended up a bit on the short side, so we hope you'll forgive us. Also, instead of begging for an iTunes review this month, we'd like to ask that you donate what you can to the American Red Cross or another reputable charity providing relief to those battered by Hurricane Helene. All of us are doing fine, but there are a lot of people out there that need help.

Meanwhile, in brighter news:

• Did Burt Reynolds invent Pictionary? Well, kind of...
• The very worst game component to have in your airline luggage
• Why were so many classic games published by a chemical manufacturer, or a game company owned by a cereal company?
• QOTD: "There are probably some rules" - Michael Hanft, September 2024

As always, thank you for listening. We'd love to have you visit our website and let us know what kinds of games we should discuss next. You're also more than welcome to comment on the episode page, or our Facebook page, or tag @ascentofboardgames on Bluesky. Whatever way you prefer to share your opinions with us, we'd love to hear them. As always, we appreciate your listening - stay safe out there, and happy gaming!
