2024/11/23

This week Julius and and daughter join this week to talk about the very lovely Wild Gardens. This is a game about foraging for natural ingredients to put into your delicious recipes. It's a beautiful game that reminds of Studio Ghibli animations - think Totoro. Wild Gardens (BGG, Rose Gauntlet)

2024/11/16

This week I talk about a small solo RPG called Anamnesis. This is a game about forgetting your past and then rediscovering who you are. I found it hard to start because you begin with no information and you are making it all up as you go along! That even goes for the setting! I found as I played, the story comes together nicely and I have had a really good time every game I've played.Anamnesis(RPG Geek, itchi.io)

1P 356 - Back to the Table: Pandemic

2024/11/09

This game seems to come up again and again and it's for good reason. Pandemic is a classic games in line with the likes of Monopoly, Clue or Scrabble. Fight off diseases ravaging the world in an effort to save humanity. This game has inspired variants, legacy games and made cooperative games popular. It occurs to me that we didn't credit the game. It was designed by Matt Leacock and originally published by Z-Man games.Pandemic (BGG, Z-Man Games)

2024/11/02

While still struggling slightly (very slightly), Julius and family recorded an episode about tragic games. That's right. These week we look at games that are overall about sad events. No tragedy here though, it's a very fun episode!02:00 Endangered (BGG) 03:55 Leviathan Wilds (BGG) 05:30 Anachrony (BGG) 07:45 Pandemic (BGG) 11:20 Mysterium ??

2024/10/19

This week we talk about Deck of Wonders, which currently has an expansion out on Kickstarter. I'd hope to get this episode out with plenty of time for listeners to decide if they want to back this. Saddly, Hurricane Helene set back my production schedule and the Kickstarter ends in just a couple of days.This game is a light deck construction game similar to Magic: The Gathering. In fact, it draws some inspiration from that game. However, this one is much lighter and more accessible because of

2024/09/21

This week Julius tells us all about climbing behemothic monsters, also known as Leviathans. In this game you are trying to remove crystals from Leviathans all while they fight back. It's a cooperative game that can be played solo and uses a book with 17 diferrent monsters, each its own board. It is actually a pretty unique sounding game and I enjoyed learning about it.Leviathan Wilds (BGG, Gamefound)

1P 351 - What Lies Beneath

2024/09/14

This week I talk about a gamebook from Fervent Workshop called What Lies Beneath. It was designed by Chris Scaffidi and the art is by Jason Glover, who has also designed quite a few games of his own.In this gamebook, you wake up in a dungeon with no memory of who you are or what you are here. What's worse is you seem to have some sort of creepy cancerous growth on your arm. You need to get out of here and figure out what is going on. It's an interesting gamebook with some very novel

This week we talk about the (cozy?) game of animal crime fighting. This game is set in the Edwardian world of Sherlock Holmes. You are a mixed group of animals trying to solve animal crimes happening in and around Baker Street.

This week I bring Lord the Rings the Card Game from Fantasy Flight back to the table. This is a game that honestly, is often on the table. It's by far my most played game. I enjoy the deck construction and fun adventures of this game. It's still a great time to get into the game too.
