Four Corners of the Board is hosting by 4 friends who enjoy getting together and playing board games. We are all relatively new to the hobby (a few years) and all have very different preferences of board games which can lead into some lively discussions! Each podcast we take one board game and discuss it in depth. What we like and don't like about the game and maybe some ways we will play it differently in the future (variants).

We look back at 2020, and look at the games we never got a chance to play. We also have a discussion on older games in general. Do we only look at the New Releases section or do we have a list of older games we always keep an eye out for? If we miss a new release, is it out of sight out of mind? We then do a Top 5 2020 Games We Want To Play…

Do we have a preference for…

Both Dean and Graeme use BoardGameGeek on a regular basis and agree it is the best board game site out there. But in our perfect world, what would we add to the site to make it even better? We also look at the stats that are available on BGG and see which ones we find useful. We then do our Top 10 Games from the Most Voted On Games from BoardGameGe…

After finishing our Top 100 Games of All Time and seeing how many different designers there were, we thought it would be a good idea to revisit the topic of Designers. Do designers make a difference to our gaming choices? Are there automatic buys/skips? Is there one designer where we have to get all their games? We then do our Top 5 Games Designed …

This week Dean and Graeme look at learning. Since our kids have gone back to virtual school, we wanted to look at games that can teach you something. Do these types of games attract us?

Warning - Dean's side of the recording has some technical issues. But in this episode we talk about narrative in games - not story telling games, or the theme, but games that tell a story. What types of games do this best? Are there some games we play strictly for the story? We then do our Top 5 Games with Narrative…

This week Dean and Graeme look at replacement games. Are we actively searching for replacement games? Are there games we really want to replace?

Dean and Graeme have a look back 10 years ago. This is a time before Graeme was into hobby board games, and dean was mostly a war gamer. So how many games from 2009 do we have in our collections? Looking back at it, was it a good year in games? Any games we feel need a 10th anniversary edition? Oh, and Dean did some math! We end with our Top 5 game…

This week Dean and Graeme look at reprints. Why do games go out of print? When games are reprinted, should they be kept the same or updated? When is a reprint really just a new game with the same theme? Would you ever go back and buy the original when there is a reprint? We end with the Top 5 Games We Want Reprinted (for whatever reason)…
