Our Pandemic Legacy: Part 6

Author: Portal Gaming Podcast March 21, 2020 Duration: 12:27
Updates for March 19 and March 20, 2020. New game room, the brandt going to distance learning and games, games, games, baby!

The Portal Gaming Podcast is a conversation that unfolds every other week from the shelves and tables of a specific community hub: the Portal game store in Manchester, Connecticut. This isn't a broad industry show, but a grounded discussion rooted in the actual games being played, purchased, and celebrated at 60 Hilliard Street. You'll hear about the tactile experience of board games, the strategic depths of card games, and the detailed world of miniatures, all filtered through the lens of a local store's inventory and events. The podcast serves as an audio bulletin for regulars and a welcome for newcomers, detailing what's happening at the shop while diving into the mechanics and stories behind the games themselves. It captures the sound of a local gaming community, from casual chatter about recent plays to plans for upcoming game nights. Tuning in feels less like a formal broadcast and more like pulling up a chair at a table where the next game is always being set up. The focus remains consistently on the shared experience around the table, making this podcast a direct line to the particular rhythms and recommendations of a dedicated New England game store.
