​With the Covid-19 kicking up a storm, many countries are locking down their general populus for safety reasons. But what do you do with your time when you can’t go out or have your gaming group come over?

Sort out your collection. Put them in order or organise them into keepers and binners
Play online with BGA or Tabletop simulator. Even just over skype
Play with your family, now that they can run away.
Play solo. There are so many games now with a solo mode.

​Trying something new with out Burky & Badger podcast...

Streaming on Facebook.

Yes, we already stream out live podcast on Youtube, but feel that that can turn into a very long show. So we thought we'd break it down and do a segment separate from our main show. It's always nice to talk about games that we love, so we thought we'd take out our Woods of Evergreen into its own podcast.

Basically, we go through our collections of games and pick out the one of a particular year, and call them our evergreens. A game that we love play and are still playing to this day, even with all these new titles bursting out of the woodwork. In this stream, we talk about titles from the year 2011.

​What titles of 2011 do you have in your Woods of Evergreen? Please leave a list in the comment section below. We'd love to know.

Plus, plus, plus... what do you think of our show? Join our next one on our Facebook page 

Is it your goal to play more?
Is it your goal to stop buying games?
Is it your goal to go to more events?
Is it your goal to make more board gaming friends?
Is it your goal to keep your collection to amount X?
Is it you goal to play games” solo?

​We'd love to know. Go to out BGG guild and answer our poll.
