The Incomparable

234 Do Ghosts Eat?

You wait around for years for another Trivial Retreat, and then two come along pretty much at once! See how our players adapt this time to coming up with questions to Trivial Pursuit answers, and whether or not they’ll fall prey to a Ponzi scheme.

233 Turns Out: Disney Lore

What happens when three Disney parks fans try to pull the wool over the Incomparable’s Disney parks expert’s eyes? And no, Disney Lore isn’t one of David’s distant relatives…

232 Last Week is Not History

It’s the third instalment of Trivial Retreat, the game where we play the original Genus edition of Trivial Pursuit backward, where players must invent or guess the questions and categories based entirely on what’s on the back of the card. Points are awarded partly on guessing the right questions, but let’s face it, they’re really doled out by how much (or how little) players annoy the host…

231 That Belongs in a Museum (for $5000)

It’s the return of Careers! The popular board game, this edition from 1955, involves contestants trying to be the first person on the moon, going out to sea, possibly becoming a farmer, and braving the dangers of uranium prospecting. No one said it would be easy.

230 Icelandic Conspiracy Theories

It’s the eighth edition Mind Meld! And if you thought there couldn’t possibly be another set of categories our group of contestants could (mostly) agree on, then you’d be wrong! And being wrong in this game is not the right thing to do.

229 Good Lord, Everyone Needs Nachos

Somehow, the answers to questions submitted by you, the listeners, about the Marvel Cinematic Universe have been stretched into three entire editions of Feuding Families! And we saved the best for last! Well, we didn’t, but we had fun playing, and we think you’ll have fun listening.

228 Opossum My Possum

Random Pursuit returns! With a first time contestant (we think), three regular contestants who have never won before (but who we still love), and one contestant who has won several times (but doesn’t remember any of those victories). Who will win this time? And will they remember it?

227 The Unethical Zoo

Join us for another outing into the edges of the knowable with Inestimable, a game show that asks its contestants and a live audience of Incomparable members about rocking Amadeus, counting Mars bars in space, and just how powerful is an unarmed elephant after all? Chart the slow descent into madness of scorekeeper Tony Sindelar as we examine the wisdom (?) of the crowd and the approximating abilities of panelists.

For the final round in the episode, this YouGov poll was our source.

226 We Keep Our Rocks Modestly Covered

It’s a family and friends edition of Random Pursuit as every contestant on this, the 33rd Random Pursuit, has a direct connection to host Erika. Sometimes even through family bloodlines! That’s all great, but how will all these friends feel after they have to answer questions of increasing and random difficulty?

225 Glenn Interrupted Himself

Mind Meld returns for the seventh iteration of America’s favorite game show! This one is extra chaotic, and only because Glenn makes his first appearance. Remember: there is no strategy!
