Podcast #38: Is there a board game for everyone? Plus: The LOLest games, board game movies

Some of you are gonna laugh. Some of you are gonna cry. And some of you are just going to claim, "BS." But it's true: We have friends who don't like board games.

We all know a cardboard-challenged pal or three. But that doesn't stop subborn us from trying to get them to sit down and play Ticket to Ride. It's an art -- picking the right game for people who'd rather just (shudder!) hang out and chit-chat without a board in between us. And some people just don't appreciate art.

Joining us to discuss this subject (and others) is guest Christian Kang, a veteran content/video producer in the board game industry. He's one talented dude (check out his videos on the Unsettled and Iron Clays & Spades Kickstarter campaigns, and drop him an email at christian@tycreative.com if you'd like to talk to him about contract work). He wants to know if there is, indeed, a game for everyone. We don't think so, but listen in to hear why.
