A close second place option for the episode title was “Meeplekeeper’s Palace.”

Also, there’s a little bit of a note in the episodes after the credits (kind of as an epilogue). In the past, I’ve done a couple prologue/pre-show notes; if necessary, I’d do them again. This particular note makes more sense at the end, so make sure you’re tuned in until the “end end.”

ANYWAY, Candice Harris joins the show for a super special thirty-third episode! Candice is a lifelong musician and took a similar proclivity of deep-diving things she’s passionate about to board games, where she’s a media creator for BoardGameGeek. The list of things she doesn’t do there would be shorter than what she does, but a few of her contributions include hosting the BoardGameGeek Podcast, Cardboard Creations, TeaForge, The Quad, and probably something else I’m missing. Candice also writes, creates, and contributes in many other capacities, with recent work on BGG’s 25th Anniversary Hall of Fame Inductees (click here for video!).

The confluence of those interests is what this episode is about, and excitingly Candice has designed a board game, Rivals of Rock, coming to crowdfunding later this year (the game came up organically within some of the topics several times with fun and insightful stories from Candice, but I had a section with a few more questions 🙁 —this note is part of the epilogue). Subscribe to Rivals of Rock’s game page to receive updates about the game here!

Tune in for an amazing episode about board games, music, games about music, peculiar game night habits, reticular activating systems, and more!

Intro (0:00)

Candice’s musical journey and current relationship with music.

Verse (11:31)

Band Titles
Music skills and approaches transferring into other elements of life
Shows/movies that feature drums

Trick-taking Interlude (34:27)

In hindsight, I should’ve dubbed this one “trick-taking solo,” not as in solo trick-taking games but a section featuring trick-taking games—its solo.

Verse (52:09)

Board games about music
Music with games: Games with music created specifically for them, playlists, and other ways in which you can listen while playing
Musically-driven board game characters

Outro (1:23:16)

A text on Candice’s mind and what to look out for from her!
