Published: Tue 23rd Dec

*Give or take the games we mentioned before the main topic. As Tom begins to close in on Kenny's position, a wild Eize Basa of Twitter (RIP) and now Bluesky fame (https://bsky.app/profile/eizebasa.baby) appears and distracts Tom with a fantastic list of games that every family is sure to enjoy during their holiday gatherings. No need for family arguments when you've got board games to play!   Games we played: 8:06 - Win, Lose, or Banana (2009, Chris Cieslik, Asmadi) 11:34 - Twilight Struggle (2005, Ananda Gupta, Jason Matthews, GMT) 19:15 - Azul (aka, "The Christmas Game") (2017, Michael Kiesling, Next Move) 23:45 - Texas Hold 'Em (1950-something, Felton "Corky" McCorquodale, Public Domain)   100 Games To Play Before You Die: 34:41 - ZERTZ (and YINSH) (1999, Kris Brum, Huch) https://boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/321471/100-tabletop-games-to-play-before-turning-100   Topic (the real Meat and Potatoes): 42:26 - 8 or 9 Games to play during the holidays   Bibliography: Follow Eize Basa on BlueSky! - https://bsky.app/profile/eizebasa.baby Follow us on BlueSky! - https://linktr.ee/shelfstablecast "How Does Dobble (Spot it!)
