Episode 157 with Mark McGee of How To Steam Broccoli with Reviews of Tether, ARCS, and Its A Wonderful World

Board Game Gumbo Live!

Gumbo Live! is back with a new fall season, and you don't even need to subscribe to TV Guide to get the new fall lineup! In our first episode, we chat with MARK MCGEE, one of the owners of the indie publisher, HOW TO STEAM BROCCOLi, who designed one of our favorite little card games this year, TETHER. We chat about how Mark got the inspiration for the game, some of the challenges and benefits of self-publishing, and do a deep dive into the mechanics and gameplay.

Then it is on to some talk about some spicy hot games we've played recently!

First up is a discussion of Leder Games' hit from Cole Wehrle, ARCS! Mark and BJ have both played the base game a number of times and they have thoughts! Then BJ gives a wildly Frankensteinen review of his recent plays of ITS A WONDERFUL WORLD from Lucky Duck Games (and available on BGA if you want to try it yourself.) Does BJ love it or hate it? You'll have to decide for yourself!

Finally, we enjoyed a rousing game of THE ENVIE GAME with Mark and the Chat Krewe! Mark's got a toughie, so tighten up your shoe laces and start running to your BGG listings to see if you can guess which game Mark has a hankering to play right now -- and why.

Laissez les bon temps rouler!
