Hey hey BATT Family! Welcome to this standalone interview we were lucky enough to have with Tenpenny Parks designer, Nate Linhart. We recorded this right around the time of the Kickstarter campaign going live for the brand new expansions, Winter Lights and Spooky Nights and Innovation and somehow missed releasing it in time for that. So in support of their pledge manager, which is closing next week on March 31, we're finally getting this out to you. We talk the origins of the design for Tenpenny Parks itself, breakdown what the expansions add, and suggest a minor addition that made Nate way too happy. Be sure to check the interview out, hit up their pledge manager if you've not backed it yet, and then get in touch with us about what you think about the interview and if you'd like us to do more like this! Thanks again to Nate for joining us and Thunderworks for providing a copy of the game for us to play!

Hey hey BATT Family! Welcome to this preview for Brass: Pittsburgh in support of their Gamefound campaign! The new standalone version, and the first one in eight years, of Brass from Roxley Games. This new game is going to feel both familiar to players of Birmingham as well as radically different for all the changes it makes. In this particular episode we're actually comparing all three versions of Brass side by side largely looking at how the gameplay systems are executed on. We've intentionally kept a rules teach out of our Pittsburgh content right now since the rule set (as of this recording) isn't finalized and changes could be forthcoming. Be sure to check the episode out, hit up their Gamefound page, and then get in touch with us about what you think about Brass: Pittsburgh! The link to the Gamefound campaign is below!

Hey hey BATT Family! Welcome to this preview for Brass: Pittsburgh in support of their Gamefound campaign! The new standalone version, and the first one in eight years, of Brass from Roxley Games. This new game is going to feel both familiar to players of Birmingham as well as radically different for all the changes it makes. In this preview we're specifically previewing Brass: Pittsburgh itself. It's still the heavy interaction, heavy economic Euro game that everybody loves from the system with some pretty massive updates in the gameplay. We've intentionally kept a rules teach out of our Pittsburgh content right now since the rule set (as of this recording) isn't finalized and changes could be forthcoming.

Hey hey BATT Family! Welcome to this review for Brass: Birmingham! Brass: Birmingham is a 2-4 player highly interactive, economic, heavy Euro game that we already had within the BATT Library. We are doing this in leadup to the release of Brass: Pittsburgh's Gamefound campaign next week. You can find the links to that below. Brass: Birmingham is designed by Martin Wallace, Gavin Brown, and Matt Tolman and is a very different game than it's originator, Brass: Lancashire. You may not like one if you like the other but it's entirely worth trying both out to find that out for yourself. Check out the review to find out what we thought of it and let us know what you think after listening by emailing us at boardallthetimegaming@gmail.com!

Hey hey BATT Family! Welcome to this Kickstarter preview for Fractured Sky: Awakening! The new expansion for the big box game Fractured Sky from IV Studios. This expansion is going to provide players with four brand new mix and match modules to put into all of their sessions of the game. Be sure to check the episode out, hit up their Kickstarter page, and then get in touch with us about what you think about Awakening! The link to the Kickstarter campaign is below and we hope you check it out! Also, listen to the end for us to revise our general opinions on Fractured Sky - turns out we'd been misinterpreting a rule that completely changed the way we felt about the game overall.

Hey BATT Family! We recorded this episode LIVE!!! at PopiCon 2026 on January 31, 2026. This was a really fun, weird, what-if type of list similar to what we did at PopiCon last year. It's gone through a light editing pass to mostly condense the conversation and keep it from being overly long with a lot of the uhms and pauses, but you should feel like you were part of our audience that evening! Thanks again to PopiCon for hosting us and thank you so much for checking this episode out and we'll catch you on the next one!
