Episode 54 Anachrony Marvel Champions, Games of the Decade and more

Dec 1, 2019

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! 

 

Late to the Party- We talk about games that are established in the hobby that we are just now playing. This time Anachrony.

 

On the table - We will examine what the game is like when played, we need to personify that experience, this should be impersonal experience wise, but cover angles and what to expect from the title, cover components, setting, rules and the overall atmosphere. 

This Episode: Marvel Champions

Points to hit:

  •         Components
  •         Set-up
  •         Table presence
  •         Smoothness of play
  •         Rules learning
  •         Atmosphere
  •         Use of setting in implementation



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

This will be the FIRST EVER SUPER, Super good list! In honor of the coming new decade Alex and I are going to look at not one, but THREE Super good lists of three each with a bonus one at the end to round out ten titles we think have been the most influential over this past decade! Let’s keep it moving with Episode two!

 

Alex List:

  1. Splendor Board game
  2. Mansions of Madness 2e
  3. Risk Legacy



Larry List: 

  1. 2016 - Escape Room: The Game : The first in a trend of art imitating life, with other lines and many boxes this is a trend that is still going strong, and now spans the last 4 years of the decade.
  2. 2015 - Codenames: Inagurably one of the main pillars to push into the casual gamer to hobby gamer conversion space since its introduction in 2015.
  3. 2018 – That's So Clever: This is really representative of the genre’. Roll and Writes have exploded onto the scene and are promising and delivering, largely, on new play experiences to the hobby board gaming world with no sign of slowing down.
