Nathan Defends His 5 Most Controversial Takes | Co-Founder Last Night Games | CardboardTakes ep_002

I need your help to keep this going. The #1 way you can support me is join my community here: https://crdbrd.app/ Episode 2 of Cardboard Takes! David (Neon Gorilla) sits down with Nate Jenne, co-designer at Last Night Games (Panda Royale, Alpine Trails, Mystic Manor), to trade their hottest board game takes. Nate opens spicy — flip & writes are TOP TIER — and it escalates: why board games are the cheapest entertainment on earth (He-Man movie math included), why "family weight" is an awful descriptor, whether you have to be "in the hobby" to belong, and the case that simple games hide the deepest strategy. Plus 106 dice in one box, a lid-lift confession, Gordy fact-checking David live on air, and Spock's true identity revealed. Drop a comment and settle it: what IS the best flip & write of all time? (Gordy says the data is closer than you think.)
