The Daddies are setting sail on a luxury space cruise and diving deep into worker placement games — the board game mechanism all about timing, commitment, and blocking someone else from the exact spot they needed (no cutting the buffet line).

Andrew kicks things off by asking what everyone’s looking forward to in 2026, from travel and milestones to games and TV, before Jason slips below deck for a Quickie with Jason, bringing Wicked Witch energy to the voyage.

The episode breaks down what worker placement is, where it came from, and why it hits so differently, before charting a course into Galactic Cruise. The Daddies SERVE the game using their review system, talk through its expansions, and debate whether it could ever work as a campaign or legacy experience.

Whether you plan every move or wander the ship to see who you might bump into, this episode proves one thing: good cruising is all about timing.

Gaymer Daddies kicks off 2026 with sniffles, shade, and history—because nothing says “fresh start” like a deeply researched queer board game and a little post-holiday reckoning. The Gamer Nancies are in full force as the Daddies dive into Molly House, a cooperative historical game set in 1720s London where joy, danger, and community exist in a delicate balance.

Along the way, Jason’s Quickie becomes a pop quiz about whether events happened before, during, or after the longest year in human history: 2020. Add in Nice List 2026 contenders, holiday board game check-ins, Drag Race and The Traitors hot takes, and a very honest SERVE review, and you’ve got the first roll of the year—smart, thoughtful, and unmistakably Gaymer Daddies.

Three Raccoons in a Trenchcoat: Trash, Trauma & Tabletop Therapy

In this episode, the Gaymer Daddies unzip a very suspicious trench coat and take a closer look at Three Raccoons in a Trenchcoat — a rules-light tabletop role-playing game that blends humor, teamwork, and surprising emotional depth.

Joined by their first-ever guest Charlie, the Daddies talk through what makes TTRPGs special, how Three Raccoons in a Trenchcoat works as a one-shot experience, and what it was like playing their very first live play together. From escaped lab animals and hijacked transportation to an unforgettable lip sync showdown, the conversation covers both the laughs and the lessons learned at the table.

The episode also dives into a meaningful discussion about mental health and board games — exploring how play, storytelling, and shared experiences can support connection, emotional well-being, and a sense of belonging, especially within queer communities.

Whether you’re new to tabletop role-playing games or a seasoned player, this episode is a reminder that sometimes holding it together looks like rolling dice with people who care about you — even if you’re just three raccoons in a trench coat trying your best.
