Welcome to the first episode of Two at the Table. We’re brothers Shaun and Ian Cornwall, and in this episode we’re sharing where our love of games began, how that passion grew over the years, and what we hope Two at the Table becomes.
Getting 6 people together for game night is hard. Sitting down with one other person across the table is where tabletop gaming shines brightest.
No waiting 20 minutes for someone to calculate their optimal turn while everyone checks their phones. In a 2-player duel, every move directly impacts you right now.
No kingmaking, no random table politics, and no hiding behind alliances. Win or lose, the outcome rests strictly on who read the board better.
We don't do hype-cycle fluff. If a game has flawed balance, bad rulebooks, or falls flat at 2 players, we call it out directly.
The best part of board gaming is talking shop afterward. Join our community to debate card tier lists, vote on games for upcoming episodes, share your collection, and find other players for online or local duels.
Vote on which head-to-head match-up or game review we tackle next.
Discuss openings, faction balance, and post-game recaps with listeners.
