Two Player Mods

I know you're awesome. You know you're awesome. I won't dwell on that. What I do have is a question: Do you ever modify games meant for more than two players to better suit only the two of you? Most of my collection is games meant for groups, like Smash Up, Red Dragon Inn, Frag, Castle Panic ect., and would like to be able to play them with my boyfriend without having to gather a large group of people.

Also, if you don't mind, I'l like to promote something I'm doing soon. If this episode airs after September 20th, ignore this bit. If not, I'll be at TopCon this year for anyone in the Topeka, KS area. I'll be at table 6 teaching people to play stuff like Superfight and Epic Spell Wars.

Great Podcast!

Loved the podcast, it's really informative and I hope you guys do more reviews of board games so I can know what's worth buying since I'm not a heavy board gamer. I literally didn't know they were more board games other than Clue, Trouble, and Scrabble lol keep up the great work can't wait to hear more
