Origins Recap with 21 Games Discussed! Plus LUZ!

It’s another “lagniappe” episode of the Gumbo podcast with Mitchell Prudhomme, the director of Southern Board Game Fest! 

First, Mitchell regales us with tales of his summer trip with his friend Ethan to Columbus, Ohio for ORIGINS GAME FAIR 2026!  Mitchell played over 80 games while he was there, but he stopped by to tell us his top 21 games played. 

BJ and Mitchell also dish on a recent game that they both have played: 

• LUZ, a clever trick-taking game where you bid on how many tricks you can win each round, but can't see the value of your cards! ** Our thanks to Iello for sending us a review copy ** 

Finally, we throw in our choices for ENVIE game this week!  Mitchell and BJ chat about the games that they really, really, really want to play next.  With a twist! 

Sit back with a cold Stone Fort Oat Brown Ale, and a plate of creamy peanut butter balls dipped in chocolate, and enjoy another episode of Lagniappe from Board Game Gumbo!

Laissez les bon temps rouler!
