In this episode of 'Twenty Minute Tabletop' podcast, host Tom interviews Adam Best, founder of Hereford Games, a charity dedicated to raising money for good causes and promoting inclusivity in the board gaming community. Adam shares how Hereford Games (herefor.games) has raised over £26,000 since 2017 and discusses his work on creating a comprehensive knowledge base on inclusivity in board gaming. During this in-depth conversation, Adam and Tom delve into various aspects of making board gaming more accessible, including physical accessibility, neurodiversity, mental health considerations, and inclusive game designs. Adam emphasizes practical steps like setting up a welcoming environment, and making small changes that can make a big difference in inclusivity. They also discuss the potential mental health benefits of gaming and how inclusivity extends to board game designs and conventions. Adam shares his thoughts on how game clubs can be more inclusive and the importance of setting a positive code of conduct.

  • #101 - Reimagining or ruining Poker? The Gang the cooperative Poker game...

    24:07|
    In this solo episode of 'Twenty Minute Tabletop,' host Tom delves into the history and cultural impact of poker while navigating the liminal space between Christmas and the New Year. Tom discusses how poker's roots span multiple continents—Persia, Germany, and France—before evolving into the game known today. He shares stories about historical figures like Wild Bill Hickok and Amarillo Slim, illustrating the legendary and sometimes notorious allure of poker. The episode also explores how poker has become a performative art form rather than just a card game, touching on its symbolic representations in popular culture, like in 'Casino Royale.' Tom compares poker to the cooperative heist game 'The Gang,' deciding whether this 2025 iteration of the classic game has made it better or worse.'...Support the Podcast - Patreon https://www.patreon.com/c/TwentyMinuteTabletop/https://discord.com/invite/4jnudHjtk9Tabletop Upgrades Premium Gaming Accessories - https://www.tabletopupgrades.co.ukFoldscapes Wargaming Terrain : https://www.patreon.com/c/tabletopupgrades
