BJ has been demoing for Grey Fox Games for a few years, and has had some great conversations with chief developer, Josh Lobkowicz. Plus, Josh loves travel! So, when Josh started Travel Buddy Games, with the idea of producing games that help you "See The World; Have Fun", BJ could not wait to get Josh on the show. BJ & The NameFather chat with Josh and Keith Piggott, the designer of The Great Barrier Reef Card Game, about the ongoing Kickstarter project:

Plus, the gang played a rousing game of The Boudin Bowl, with Josh as judge. Can BJ score even a single touchdown against the powerhouse team of Keith & Steve?
