First Turn Tabletop

This is the end. But don't worry, the words of Charles Schulz : "It is already tomorrow in Australia." This is the final episode of the podcast. Kait, bP, Eric and Kiwi gather for a "Series in Review" episode in the style of our "Year in Review" but we also talk about our favorite parts of the last 249 episodes. We appreciate everyone that has tuned in and listened for the last 5 years. We started this so that we could play games together and we're going to keep doing that, just not recording it.  And with that, feel free to like and/or review. You can still leave comments on Twitter/Instagram @FirstTurnCast and we still have our email which will be the best way to reach us. No need to subscribe anymore, but I'm not your boss, so do what you want. But more importantly ... play more games!

In our penultimate episode, we're playing the current #1 game on BoardGameGeek Brass: Birmingham. Designed by Martin Wallace and published by Roxley in 2018.  Post your comments to Twitter/Instagram @FirstTurnCast or email us at [email protected]. Please remember to rate, review, and subscribe! Until next week, play more games!

It's hard to believe that we've been doing this podcast for 5 years. That means it's a deep dive episode. We're hoping into the way way back machine (for us) and bringing back the first game that really brought us into the board game hobby: Spartacus: A Game of Blood and Treachery. It was designed by Aaron Dill and Sean Sweigart and published in 2012 by Gale Force Nine. A small note ... we've decided to bring our podcast to a conclusion. We'll have two more episodes after this one, and we will close with episode 250. Thanks for all those who have listened and downloaded over the years and we hope that you'll stay with us as we publish our last few episodes.

There's nothing more cozy than a little cooperative city planning. Eric and Kait are playing Mythwind this week. It was published in 2023 by Open Owl Studios and designed by Nathan Lige and Brendan McCaskell. Post your comments to Twitter/Instagram @FirstTurnCast or email us at [email protected].

What's better than being your own boss? Being your own boss in an incredibly dangerous endeavor! We're just a normal group of fledgling heroes trying to make our way in the world but it's not free so first we have to build some capital. This week, we're playing Freelancers: A Crossroads Game by Donald Shults and published in 2023 by Plaid Hat Games.
