IT’S HERE. Going Analog’s Games of the Year episode (it’s still 2025, right?), and we were joined by @candidrum.bsky.social 🎉

Are we SO RIGHT? What did we miss?

We're back with part 2 of our 2-player special, with guest @grantsgamerecs.bsky.social! Now you have too many 2P recommendations from all of us. You're welcome. www.goinganalogshow.com/article/314/...

We (w/ @grantsgamerecs.bsky.social) have been talking about having a weekly game night committed to something we almost never get to do: completing a campaign.

The game we all wanted to see through: Tidal Blades 2. Now let’s see if our schedules and real life will allow us to finish.

We love PlayProp so much that we had to get a second copy. Gotta replace some of the corks that inevitably get chopped up by our violent friends.

We decided it was the year of the 2-player game! So many great ones came out that we couldn't cover them in one episode (and not without the help of special guest @grantsgamerecs.bsky.social).

We got to play This is Not a Game About a Pipe at BGG.CON thanks to @wericmartin.bsky.social. Fell in love right away so we frantically texted friends who’d be at PAXU, where it was being sold. Thanks to @panda8ngel.bsky.social and Jon H for nabbing four copies for us!@macaroobanzai.bsky.social

It gets expensive (for us) when @panda8ngel.bsky.social and @grantsgamerecs.bsky.social visit and show us new games. Now these are on our want-to-buy lists: How to Save a World,
Neko Syndicate, Snow Colony, and
Formidabel! (aka Formidable Farm).
