It’s a special list episode! Today we’re talking about our top 10 (between both Jason and Kyle) “Grail Games,” meaning board games that are difficult to acquire but still desirable. Specifically, the ones we don’t already own but would like to, if it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.

This week we’re talking about Photosynthesis. The board game, not the process you learned about in biology. It’s all about growing trees, harvesting tress, and a Pac-Man-looking Sun that feeds instead of eats!

Behold the glory of Ra! Or whoever the alligator guy is. Dog heads! Cat heads! It’s time for Egypt! Ankh: Gods of Egypt, in fact! Brought to you buy CMON and Eric M. Lang as the third of a trilogy of area control games!

This week we’re looking at a record-breaking FOUR games, all from publisher Button Shy Games! We’re talking about Agropolis, Liberation, Antinomy, and Hórreos! They’re little, they’re short, and they’re affordable! A welcome change from most of the other types of games we usually talk about!

Put on your robe and wizard hat because this week we’re finally reviewing Jason’s favorite game of all time, War of the Ring: Second Edition! The Eye of Sauron gazes upon us while we discuss how the game plays, who might enjoy it, and who might want to throw it into the crater of Mt. Doom!

This week on Limited Play Time we’re taking a look at one of the hottest game of the last couple… few? Couple-few years? I’ve lost track due to pandemic-time. But anyway, we’re talking about Lost Ruins of Arnak! It worker placements, it deck builds, it resource managments, it research tracks! What CAN’T it do?! I guess… I guess we don’t really go into that.

This week we’re being transported to the high-fantasy, leather jacket-wearing, gun toting, demon-infested World of Middara! It’s anime, it’s dungeon crawling, it’s narrative, narrative, narrative! All the best things, right? Listen on, and find out!

No, this is not our Nicolas Cage tangent episode, though that would have been fun. We’re talking about the BOARD GAME, The Night Cage! We played it at GenCon and talked briefly about it on a GenCon episode, but now we’re back to do a SLIGHTLY deeper dive into the dark, mysterious hole we have to crawl out of with nothing but a candle stick and some hope.

It’s the holiday season, and you’re frantically looking for ideas for your game-loving family and friends! Calm down! Put down the knife! LPT is here to help with suggestions for the best possible gifts for every type of gamer! That we thought of! Now drink some hard nog and take a nap!

This week we’re flipping the script on our previous episode and talking about our 10 greatest surprises in board gaming! These are the games that had the widest gulf between expectations and pleasant outcomes! It’s like a second helping of Limited Play Time top 10 lists during this festive Thanksgiving week!

We intended to do a recording of us playing an actual game that would’ve been actually entertaining, however we’re disappointed to say we don’t think it was going to work out. So instead we’re bringing more disappointments! Our top 10 disappointments in board gaming! Some of these are good games, really! Just a swing and a miss or two that took the wind out of our sails.

This week we’re travelling into THE COSMOS as we become 2-mile high frogs with a hunger that only planets can satisfy! How did we not realize these were frog-Galactuses before? Anyway, this week we’re covering the one-of-a-kind board game, Cosmic Frog!
