Episode 41: Stealing Gifts From Kids

This week, Andy & Keith’s topics include their favorite JoCo songs, learning to play Cribbage, why so many $2 bills are in circulation in the Portland area, the joys of needing to watch cartoons & sci-fi shows as part of their jobs, and the appearance of an actual white elephant at a Yankee Swap gift exchange. Of course they also talk about Star Wars some more, so if you’re still avoiding spoilers, you’ll want to skip to 14:20 when they lower the “spoiler curtain,” about four minutes into the show.

This week Andy tells Keith about his adventures at Geekonomicon, including creating a design for Convention Fluxx at a panel called Improv Fluxx Design. Keith talks about his new card game-in-progress, which he’s calling Project B, and Andy describes a new 3-player variation of Hearts he recently played. They talk about shooting the moon, which Andy relentlessly tries to do when playing Hearts. They also continue their pre-Episode 7 geeking out, with discussions about droid deities and the “Anti-Cheese” re-edits of the prequels. Somewhere in there they also have a spoiler-y discussion about the final episode of Minority Report.
