The Innkeeper's Table is series of bite-sized episodes intended to bridge the gap between experienced gamers and newcomers to the hobby. We focus on a single topic each episode, for 20 minutes or less, in order to make board games more approachable to new gamers and spark discussions that gamers of all experience levels can join in on.

100 episodes! That's quite a milestone, and we couldn't have made it here without our listeners! To celebrate, the hosts have a special long episode prepared, where we discuss, not just our Top 3, but our Top 10 games, period!
We couldn't fit this whole discussion into our normal 15–20 minutes, so we've extended this special episode to over an hour to cover everything! We hope you'll enjoy it.
