***Great Big Table is a late-night conversation between two Midwestern geeks with dreams of world domination through board games. It's not a great plan, but it's our plan and we're sticking to it. Join as we plot to put a meeple in every pot- or at least on every table. We slipped the bonds of our robot masters, so the only opinions represented here are our own. We are however in league with Amazon, so a percentage of every purchase made through our links goes into our onshore accounts (thanks!). You should be proud of yourself for reading all this small print- we are!

Episode 1 Delayed

Our Games for Couples show will be delayed a week due to family illness.

No big deal. Now it will be a week better than before.

It should be recorded tonight, edited by Sunday and out by the end of Monday.

Plan on it.
