At Gen Con, we were very fortunate to spend some time with game publishers and designers.In another of those Gen Con conversations, we spoke with R&R Games' President and CEO, Frank DiLorenzo. R&R Games is known for great gateway games, popular party games (like the Times Up series), and heavier strategy games like Coal Baron and New Haven. They are also the publisher of 2013 Spiel des Jahres (German Game of the Year) winner, Hanabi. We spent some time talking about a wide swath of games offered by R&R Games and had a great time. The R&R Games titles that we mentioned or discussed in this episode include:Times UpGet a LifeGuess the Mess (Board Game Geek Link)Strike a PoseHearts of AttractionPlucking PairsHide and Seek SafariFlea CircusSpectaculumIgor: The Monster Making GameIgor: The Life of the PartyHanabiR&R Games' version of Deluxe Hanabi - Coming in OctoberCoal BaronNew Haven QinHome Stretch1st & Goal Download the episode: GBT-EPGEN14-3-RnR-Games.mp3 Subscribe to the podcast: via RSSSubscribe to the podcast: via iTunesSend us an Email: podcast@greatbigtable.comFollow us on Twitter: @greatbigtableLeave us a voicemail: (401) It is big or (401) 484-7244This episode of the Great Big Table is released under a Creative Commons Attribution, Non-Commercial, No Derivatives 3.0 license.The My favorite game console is a table and chairs image is released under a Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike license by Daniel Solis.

It's not a great plan, but it's our plan and we're sticking to it. Join as we plot to put a meeple in every pot- or at least on every table. We slipped the bonds of our robot masters, so the only opinions represented here are our own. We are however in league with Amazon, so a percentage of every purchase made through our links goes into our onshore accounts (thanks!). Some games have been provided by publishers for review while we picked up others for a buck or two at a thrift store or yard sale. Others are from our own collections or games we played with friends and strangers. You should be proud of yourself for reading all this small print- we are!
