This episode join the Joshes and Jameson as they nerd out about one of their favorite hobbies: strategy board games! First we discuss the history and recent development of board games, why it is that so many people enjoy playing them, and what it is that makes a game a great one. Then we dive deep into discussing and recommending some of our very favorite games, including Settlers of Catan, Race for the Galaxy, and Sythe (just to name a few). We hope you will try some of these games out (if you haven't already!)

Also this week we announce the Both& Shareathon Contest! Full details can be found on Facebook and in "The Part of the Podcast Where We Talk About Other Things"© but here's the skinny: you earn points by sharing the podcast with the world via social media. Rating the podcast on iTunes and sending us feedback via email also gets you points. The contest is open from February 5th to midnight on the 19th at which point we will stop counting points. The victor will then receive a cool prize related to a previous episode topic of their choice!
