Ep 77 - John Lost his Marbles
Monday, 26 January, 2026

This episode puts John’s taste in board games under the microscope! 🎲We kick things off with a review of the new hit game 12 Rivers, breaking down what works, what doesn’t, and whether it lives up to the hype. Then it’s time for Play Shelf Trade, as we compare three marble-powered games: Potion Explosion, Gizmos, and Whirly Derby.After that, John finds himself in the hot seat as the rest of the table surrounds him and makes him defend his questionable board game opinions. Finally, we wrap things up with a Table Top Team Up, where we retheme a popular board game using John’s favorite kind of themes: real-life, everyday activities.Pull up a chair and join us Around the Board!
