Re-Re-Re.. Re-theme (Retribuo): Great games don’t always have great themes; sometimes great themes never get great games. In this segment we explore the options that should have been considered for some of the world’s boardgames.
e.g.
Nuns on the Run: Harry Potter
Love Letter: Adventure Time Re-theme
Collector’s Rummy: For sme of us, like Scott, the board game hobby offers one more delight — collecting! and the subsequent re-shelving, again, and again. There are some great collectible games out there. Whether it’s a publisher’s series or just an odd misprint or rare unpublished gem, we’ll talk about them and see how far down the OCD rabbit hole we can take one of the hosts.
e.g.

Memory Lane: Let’s go back to those technicolor, pre-cable-TV days… sit down in the chairs outside the neighborhood filling station, with our ice cold 12 oz Coke bottles… (mine is Mellow Yellow) and chat about some of the coolest games from our past. Games that stand out or live in infamy… After that we can go skip stones at the ‘crick.
