What Makes a Great Christmas Game?

What Makes a Great Christmas Game? (Plus Mini Painting Fails, a Festive Quiz & Game of the Year) Kev and Tom discuss what makes a good Christmas game, balancing gamer tastes with family-friendly accessibility. They chat about Kev’s busy season shipping tabletop upgrades and Tom’s plans to start Kill Team with his son, plus Tom’s COVID week spent painting a Cyclades kraken with mixed results and Kev’s advice on improving and stripping acrylics. They compare Christmas staples like Rhino Hero, Jenga, Jungle Speed (and Jungle Speed Safari), and highlight Escape: Curse of the Temple for its fast, 10-minute timer play. The conversation touches on randomness vs determinism using chess as an example, and Tom argues team games like Pictionary and Trivial Pursuit work well at Christmas. They end with game-of-the-year picks: Kev chooses Netrunner and Tom chooses Ark Nova. 00:00 Festive intro and shipping 00:49 Miniature sales and Kill Team 01:38 Painting mishap confession 03:30 Painting mindset and stripping 06:09 What to play at Christmas 07:18 Tipping Point board game rant 09:30 Tom's mini Christmas quiz 13:51 Big centerpiece party games 15:00 Escape Curse of the Temple 16:51 Chess and randomness debate 22:13 Teams make Christmas games 23:11 Wrap-up and game of the year
