Intro Banter - This is the (mostly) unscripted intro to the show! We catch up, play games, talk about games that perhaps did not make the main show, and just gab, Welcome! 

 

We need more like them - In this segment we list and identify the types of players that you want to have at the table: an encourager, a rules reader, a tension diffuser and more. 

 

First Impressions – We talk about the first time with a title, from the acquisition to the first look, to the first play and deliver thoughts in writing and on the show. 

This Episode:

Larry discusses - Edge of Darkness  by AEG

Alex Discusses - Isle of Cats by City of Games



Not just Good, but SUPER Good - Top 3 lists themed by genre

This episode we look at our top three anticipated games as of Jan 2020!

 

Alex:

Monumental by FunForge

A War of Whispers by Starling Games

The Great Wall Board GAME by Awaken Realms

My City by KOSMOS 

 

Larry: 

Caylus 1303 by Space Cowboys

One Deck Galaxy by Asmadi Games

Digimon Trading Card Game by Bandai (If you are looking for a game with a shared energy mechanic that is NOT a TCG, might I suggest Atlas games Dungeoneer Board game series, they are older, but it's a dungeon crawl that uses a version of this same Energy sharing mechanic to great effect, plus dungeon crawl, plus great artwork, plus small form factor, plus tons of content! BONUS!)   



A deeper look - We pick a game (each) and do a deeper dive into the title. Not a review but speaking to the mechanics of it, NOTING any challenges in obtaining said title. 

This episode:

Larry: Freedom: Underground Railroad by Academy Games

Also thanks to YouTuber WossyPlays for the first notification of this game to my attention, the video is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLIW5gczicU 

He’s good, he covers TCG’s primarily (Think transformers, Keyforge & Final Fantasy, here), and has great access, he is insightful and entertaining, give him a try if you are ever on the youtubes, and want some tcg infused goodness!
