It’s another “lagniappe” episode of the Gumbo podcast, this time with THE NAMEFATHER!  Steve O’Rourke is back with tales of Chuck Con V with which to enthrall us. 

In this episode, we find out what has been keeping Dr Steve busy this past semester, and then we go  straight to the action — CHUCK CON V! Friends, if you want to know how to start your own Cabin Con, Steve’s got all the tips for you to have a successful weekend+. 

After giving us some of the high points outside of gaming, like trips to the Creamery and hikes on the coast of Portland, Steve recaps his personal experience playing dozens of games like: 

• Pip It
• Finspan
• Planet Unknown
• Maori
• Port Royal
• Tipperary
• Guild of Merchant Explorers (new to me)
• Captain Flip
• Castle Combo (new to me)
• Five Tribes (new to me) 
• Duck and Cover
• Merlin (new to me)

Finally, we throw in our choices for ENVIE game this week! Steve and BJ chat about the games that they really, really, really want to play next.  With a twist! 

Sit back with an ice cold Fremont Bourbon Barrel Aged Stout from DeGarde Brewing, and a heaping serving of Tillamook Mudslide, and enjoy another episode of Lagniappe from Board Game Gumbo!

Laissez les bon temps rouler!
