Where There's A Wilz, There's a Play
Who are we? We’re a couple who love spending time around the table with board games—but we approach the hobby from 2 different perspectives.
Ian is the mid-complexity casual gamer who enjoys midweight games with just enough rules & decisions to feel satisfying, but not so much complexity that it feels like work. I’m also a solo gamer, so I like exploring how games hold up when you don’t have a full table.
Stacey is the non-gamer gamer. She enjoys light to low-midweight games that are easy to set up, easy to learn, and fun to play without needing to dive into a big rulebook. She’s here for the fun, the interaction, and the experience—not the brain burn.
Together, we play everything from cozy midweights to lighthearted party games (yes, even at just 2 players!). Our channel is dedicated to presenting both sides of the table: the perspective of the hobby gamer and the approachable, casual gamer. If you’re looking for fun, accessible, & honest takes on games, you’re in the right place.

November is New-vember for us, if you want to participate. Which new-to-you game do you want to get off the table in November.

Unfortunately, there will be no new content this week. Ian has been under the weather since Sunday afternoon and filming just isn't possible for this week. We will be back next week. Hopefully some solo content on Sunday, a live playthrough on Wednesday, and a Five and Dime on Friday.
