Episode #11 of The BoardGameGeek Show — Steph Hodge and Rodney Smith Drop In

In the latest episode of The BoardGameGeek Show, we have gone full Voltron, with new BGG team members Steph Hodge and Rodney Smith joining Scott Alden, Lincoln Damerst, and me to talk about our experiences at BGG.Spring, new games that we played there, and the results of our massive "Spring Cleaning" sale in which we removed two thousand older and unused games from the BGG Library and sold them off in waves during the convention.

We also take a look ahead to our coverage of the 2018 Origins Game Fair, which opens for events on Wednesday, June 13, 2018, with the exhibitor hall opening the next day. BGG's Origins 2018 Preview has topped two hundred listings — albeit with a huge percentage of them being demo-only — and I'll be finalizing that preview in the next few days before publishing our planned livestream broadcast schedule on Monday, June 11.
