| 6/27/26 |  Rascally Rabbits (Saturday Review) | A little rabbit peeked cautiously over the edge of a vegetable patch, before it hopped inside and helped itself to a crunchy carrot. Soon, another rabbit joined in, nibbling happily on a radish, while a third disappeared behind broad broccoli leaves, and a fourth emerged triumphantly with an aubergine. Soon enough, mushrooms vanished as well, leaving only tiny paw prints behind. In less than a minute, the whole patch was filled with Rascally Rabbits by Ta-Te Wu from Sunrise Tornado Game Studio with art by TuziNeko.Read the full review here: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2026/06/27/rascally-rabbits-saturday-review/Useful LinksRascally Rabbits: https://www.sunrisetornado.com/rascally-rabbitsRules video: https://youtu.be/PlLZ8-VD9ok?si=ihbIHhOvg3bjd57WSunrise Tornado Game Studio: https://www.sunrisetornado.com/BGG listing: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/447276/rascally-rabbitsMusicIntro Music: Bomber (Sting) by Riot (https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/)Music: Channel Intro 28Produced by Sascha EndeLink: https://ende.app/en/song/12540-channel-intro-28Music: Nature 14 [nature documentary series]Produced by Sascha EndeLink: https://ende.app/en/song/13343-nature-14-nature-documentary-seriesMusic: Madeira: The Little Houses of SantanaProduced by Sascha EndeLink: https://ende.app/en/song/13712-madeira-the-little-houses-of-santanaMusic: Nature 13 [nature documentary series]Produced by Sascha EndeLink: https://ende.app/en/song/13342-nature-13-nature-documentary-seriesSupportIf you want to support this podcast financially, please check out the links below:Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/TabletopGamesBlogPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/tabletopgamesblogWebsite: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/support/ | — | ||||||
| 6/23/26 |  Spiel des Jahres - beyond the Red Pawn (Topic Discussion) | For many people, Spiel des Jahres is something they encounter only once a year. A list of nominees appears, winners are announced, and the familiar Red Pawn finds its way onto board game boxes that in turn appear on shop shelves. Yet, the award itself is only the most visible part of the organisation's work. Behind the annual announcements sits an association that funds projects, supports research, encourages new designers, and promotes the social value of play. In this third article in the series, I want to look at those activities that reveal a side of Spiel des Jahres that is often overlooked, particularly outside German-speaking countries, where the organisation is frequently seen only as a prestigious board game award.Read the full article here: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2026/06/23/spiel-des-jahres-beyond-the-red-pawn-topic-discussion/Useful LinksSpiel des Jahres (German): https://www.spiel-des-jahres.de/Spiel des Jahres funding programme (German): https://www.spiel-des-jahres.de/foerderung/University of Konstanz: https://www.uni-konstanz.de/en/Museen der Stadt Nürnberg (German): https://museen.nuernberg.de/startseiteSpielend für Toleranz (German): https://www.spiel-des-jahres.de/spielend-fuer-toleranz/My Spielend für Toleranz statement: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/spielend-fur-toleranz/Deutsches Nachwuchs-Spieleautor*innen-Stipendium (German): https://www.spiel-des-jahres.de/stipendium/MusicIntro Music: Bomber (Sting) by Riot (https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/)Music: Relaxing Lofi – TricosaProduced by Sascha EndeLink: https://ende.app/en/song/13607-relaxing-lofi-tricosaMusic: Relaxing Lofi – IcosaProduced by Sascha EndeLink: https://ende.app/en/song/13604-relaxing-lofi-icosaSupportIf you want to support this podcast financially, please check out the links below:Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/TabletopGamesBlogPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/tabletopgamesblogWebsite: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/support/(Photo courtesy of Spiel des Jahres) | — | ||||||
| 6/20/26 |  Rattlesnake (Saturday Review) | The saloon doors suddenly burst open behind you as your boots skid across the dusty wooden boards of the sidewalk. A split-second later, gunfire cracks through the afternoon air, the bullet ricocheting off a pail of water, sending startled townsfolk diving for cover. Diving behind an old barrel offers you a moment of shelter, although the sound of heavy footsteps suggests your pursuer is closing in on you. Then, glass shatters somewhere near the jail, followed by the sharp whistle of a bullet passing far too close for comfort. A grin spreads across your face as you raise your revolver and prepare to return fire. Well, that's what you get when you arrive in Rattlesnake by Michael Hardacre from Osprey Games with art by Roland MacDonald.Read the full review here: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2026/06/20/rattlesnake-saturday-review/Useful LinksRattlesnake: https://www.ospreypublishing.com/uk/rattlesnake-9781472871763/Rulebook: https://boardgamegeek.com/filepage/321691/rattlesnake-rulebookOsprey Games: https://www.ospreypublishing.com/uk/osprey-games/BGG listing: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/453281/rattlesnakeMusicIntro Music: Bomber (Sting) by Riot (https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/)Sound Effects: ZapSplat (https://www.zapsplat.com/)Sound effects: bbc.co.uk – © copyright 2026 BBCMusic: Saloon dance [Western Series]Produced by Sascha EndeLink: https://ende.app/en/song/12904-saloon-dance-western-seriesMusic: Western Intro 2Produced by Sascha EndeLink: https://ende.app/en/song/13631-western-intro-2SupportIf you want to support this podcast financially, please check out the links below:Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/TabletopGamesBlogPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/tabletopgamesblogWebsite: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/support/ | — | ||||||
| 6/16/26 |  Spiel des Jahres - how the jury chooses games (Topic Discussion) | Every year, the announcement of the Spiel des Jahres nominations leads to a lot of discussion across our hobby. Some people agree with the choices, others question why certain games were not included, and many try to predict the eventual winners. What most people don't realise when they discuss the nominations is that the jury does not gather for a single weekend to decide the best game of the year. No, jurors spend many months playing hundreds of new releases several times with different groups of people. It is a lot of work that often goes unnoticed, but that explains why the award continues to carry such influence nearly fifty years after it began. In the second article of the series, I look at this in more detail.Read the full article here: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2026/06/16/spiel-des-jahres-how-the-jury-chooses-games-topic-discussion/Useful LinksSpiel des Jahres (German): https://www.spiel-des-jahres.de/Spiel des Jahres – the award that was never really about awards: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2026/06/09/spiel-des-jahres-the-award-that-was-never-really-about-awards-topic-discussion/Spiel des Jahres FAQ (German): https://www.spiel-des-jahres.de/faq/Spiel des Jahres FAQ for publishers (German): https://www.spiel-des-jahres.de/faq-verlage/Spiel des Jahres jury members (German): https://www.spiel-des-jahres.de/alle-jurymitglieder/Koschwitz zum Wochenende interview with Harald Schrapers. 31 July 2023: https://koschwitz-zum-wochenende.podigee.io/562-neue-episodeFive Games for Doomsday interview with Martina Fuchs. 9 June 2025: https://5g4d.com/podcasts/spiel-des-jahres-special-jury-member-martina-fuchsDer Boardcast episode 408 interview with Harald Schrapers and Sebastian Wenzel. 18 May 2026.: https://boardcast.podigee.io/408-neue-episodeMusicIntro Music: Bomber (Sting) by Riot (https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/)Music: Madeira Dolphin TourProduced by Sascha EndeLink: https://ende.app/en/song/13711-madeira-dolphin-tourMusic: Deep House Underscore 005Produced by Sascha EndeLink: https://ende.app/en/song/13702-deep-house-underscore-005Music: Sunday Morning CoffeeProduced by Sascha EndeLink: https://ende.app/en/song/13693-sunday-morning-coffeeSupportIf you want to support this podcast financially, please check out the links below:Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/TabletopGamesBlogPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/tabletopgamesblogWebsite: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/support/(Photo courtesy of Spiel des Jahres) | — | ||||||

| 5/9/26 |  Agricola (Digital Eyes) | The low sun drapes itself across uneven fields, gilding half‑finished fences and soil still warm from the plough as hands move with quiet urgency, gathering wood, shaping clay, urging reluctant earth to yield before the season slips away. Your family waits with hunger and hope intertwined, their future resting on each small choice made in the dirt. Buried in this hard labour, there is a deep, steady satisfaction, a sense of watching something humble grow into something living, something that belongs to you alone, something shaped by care and intention, something you created as the Agricola by Uwe Rosenberg from Lookout Spiele with art by Klemens Franz.Read the full review here: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2026/05/09/agricola-digital-eyes/Useful LinksAgricola: https://www.lookout-spiele.de/en/games/agricolare.htmlRulebook: https://www.lookout-spiele.de/upload/en_agricolare.html_Rules_Agricola-RE_EN.pdfRules video: https://youtu.be/LWuUuxbMDB0?si=OndyfkHfRDZFbhDKLookout Spiele: https://www.lookout-spiele.de/en/news.phpBGG listing: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/200680/agricola-revised-editionMusicIntro Music: Bomber (Sting) by Riot (https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/)Sound Effects: ZapSplat (https://www.zapsplat.com/)Music: "River", "Tranquil", "Soulful" and "Uplifting Piano" by AShamaluevMusic.Website: https://www.ashamaluevmusic.comSupportIf you want to support this podcast financially, please check out the links below:Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/TabletopGamesBlogPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/tabletopgamesblogWebsite: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/support/(Photo courtesy of Lookout Spiele) | — | ||||||
