Knucklebones is a narrative podcast about the impact of games in everyday lives. From the earliest games of making bets over sheep ankle bones to the social drama of bingo tournaments in the modern day, humans have relied on gameplay to connect, compete, and shape our thinking. Whether you have bonded with a new friend over a game of Mouse Trap, played your dad in chess, or taught your kids your own version of Monopoly, games have been an integral part of our lived experience. Episodes will cover interesting historical origins of games, look at modern day gaming subcultures, and take a closer look at moments when we find ourselves using game strategies in everyday life.
