Harem of Whatsits

The Beard Games Boys are sick and tired of the hustle and bustle of big city life and are ready to settle down and take it easy. Maybe they'll start a farm somewhere off in the countryside, raise up and some void chickens and a couple of slimes. Or more likely than that is that they'll take today's topic of Life Simulator games and make questionable design decisions that will make you ask "who hurt you Connor, Nick and Keith?"

The Simple Life Simulators

On today's episode of Beard games Connor, Keith, and Nick breath life into some deck building card games as well as come up with another genuiney good idea that the world simply isn't ready for. Summer's almost over so lets send it on it's way by sitting on a beach, sipping a fruity island drink out of a coconut, avoiding the monkey construction crews, and hacking into the security system of your local Poi Baron. Wait, what were those last two?

Victoriously Failing

Less than 10 minute episode? This can't be good. Did Connor get arrested for smuggling sets of dice into prison so convicts could play D&D? Did Nick get his beard caught in a Kegerator? Did Little Keith fall down a well? Nothing as silly as all that. We just couldn't feasibly get an episode out this week and wanted to let you guys know. We've also got a bit of an update for you about what's going on with our guest roster for upcoming episodes.
 
Thanks for sticking with us and being understanding with this week's kerfuffle. If you want to send us any questions, comments, or potential topics for the show you can reach us here.

Not-So-Super Powers

It's family game night this week on Beard Games! So you know what that means. More bad decisions. The crew is joined by hip hop artist Strag to make some children's board games that probably won't be very kid-friendly. We ask the burning questions this epsisode. Is it Chutes and Ladders or Snakes and Ladders? Can Connor make a game that doesn't have weirdly dark undertones? Nick asks yet again, is Candy Land considered a game? (Spoiler alert: his stance hasn't changed.) All that and more, on this episode of Beard Games!
