This month, Jason and Rob take a look at a very well known Fantasy Flight Game, Star Wars: Outer Rim, a sandbox-style game where you fly around the Outer Rim of the Star Wars universe, collect bounties and take on jobs and try to be the most famous person in the galaxy. It's a lot of fun and Jason and Rob have a blast discussing it.

Jason and Rob ring in 2023 by talking about a super heavy and complicated board game, based on a popular video game, called Frostpunk, a dystopian alternative timeline game where you have to keep your city warmed up by finding resources to keep a giant furnace active and building shelters for your workers. It's hard and possibly Jason and Rob played it wrong. Also, an update to the Escape From New York crowdsourced game!

To celebrate the first god damn month of Winter, Jason and Rob decide to play and discuss THREE games based on Who Goes There?, the novella that inspired The Thing. Not only that, but they are joined by two of their friends Toby and Tim! First they discuss the second edition of Who Goes There? The Board Game, which is a much improved version of the first edition. Then they move on to The Thing: Infection At Outpost 31, a somewhat party-style game. They end things with The Thing: The Board Game, which is a combination of the other two games.

You know those board games that when you look at the cover or you play it and you say to yourself "this is totally supposed to be (insert movie/show/book): The Board Game" but the publishers/designers couldn't get the rights? Well that's what we're talking about in this episode of CineGamer, IP Adjacent games! Joining Jason and Rob is their friend and frequent name that gets mentioned in every episode Toby as they talk about several games that probably wouldn't normally be talked about on this show but are so good they needed to!

To change things up a bit, Jason and Rob decide to cover a movie, 2018's Game Night, which is a film about board gamers. They dive into the plot and the pros and cons of it featuring mainstream games vs the games "actual" gamers would play.  Then they switch gears and discuss Disney's Villainous and it's various expansions, talking about the future of the game and other classic villains they could use and sort of reluctantly discuss the Marvel version. (Jason was trying to save it for another episode since it's a bit different, but it kept coming up.)

It's the MOST wonderful TIME of the year!!! When people get to argue whether or not Die Hard is a Christmas movie (it is!) and people try to avoid Wham!'s Last Christmas and listen to Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas Is You on repeat. So Jason and Rob are going to take on TWO games based on Christmas movies (told you Die Hard is a Christmas movie) and try to bring some cheer over the holidays!

Jason and Rob have returned and they go into extreme nerdy detail on Doctor Who...wait that sounds like that other Rabbit Hole Podcast show...is this right? Nope. They go into extreme nerdy detail over Doctor Who...oh I see. It's the BOARD GAME Doctor Who: Time of the Daleks! From Gale Force Nine. And not only do they go over how it plays and their thoughts on the game and if you need to be a fan of the show to play it, they theorize what it'd be like if Doctor Who ever shows up in Boston. No offense to any Bostonians who might be listening.
