Defensive settlement built on high ground

Avsnitt 474 av Sveriges nyfiknaste fotbollspodd gästas av Fredrik Hammar. Mechelen-spelaren talar om chockstarten i nya klubben, om oron för Belgien-spöket som sänkt svenskar, om att han tagit en plats i startelvan, om det knepiga seriesystemet, om vad som fick honom att välja Mechelen framför andra bud, om livet vid sidan av fotbollen och om att både tränaren och sportchefen som värvade honom fick sparken.Dessutom berättar Hammar om tiden som omsusad ungdomstalang, om stressen att ta nästa steg, om udda klivet som ledde till Brentford, om nobbat miljonkontrakt för spel i Akropolis, om jobbiga tiden som klubblös när hela superettan nobbade honom, om chansen i HTFF, om drömmen för Bajen-supportern att ta en plats i Hammarby och om lärdomen att fokusera på nuet och bli starkare mentalt.

The sun beats down as you and the other craftsmen raise the walls, just like your ancestors once built their great stone villages. Be careful though, because if the Chieftain spots your signature stones, you will be penalised. As space runs out, only the most cunning will earn the Chieftain's favour and successfully build their Pueblo by Michael Kiesling and Wolfgang Kramer from Mojito Studios with art from SillyJellie.Read the full review here: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2025/03/22/pueblo-saturday-review/Useful LinksPueblo: https://www.mojitostudios.com/?section=games&code=puebloRulebook: https://www.mojitostudios.com/assets/files/pueblo/Pueblo_Rulebook_EN.pdfMojito Studios: https://www.mojitostudios.com/index.phpBGG listing: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/3228/puebloWikipedia definition of Pueblo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PuebloEcofriendly credentials of Pueblo: https://gamefound.com/en/projects/mojito-studios/pueblo#/section/eco-friendly-production-14392Looot review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2024/10/19/looot-saturday-review/Diatoms review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2024/02/03/diatoms-saturday-review/Applejack review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2023/09/30/applejack-saturday-review/Akropolis review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2023/09/09/akropolis-saturday-review/MusicIntro Music: Bomber (Sting) by Riot (https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/)Sound Effects: bbc.co.uk – © copyright 2025 BBCMusic: https://www.bensound.com/free-music-for-videosLicense code: YHQXUSLI0LOYJY2OSupportIf you want to support this podcast financially, please check out the links below:Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/tabletopgamesblogKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/TabletopGamesBlogWebsite: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/
Fluent Fiction - Swedish: The Lost Toga and the Unplanned Laughter at Acropolis Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/sv/episode/2025-03-10-22-34-00-sv Story Transcript:Sv: Erik stod mitt på Akropolis, omringad av de majestätiska ruinerna som glödde i vårens mjuka solsken.En: Erik stood in the middle of the Acropolis, surrounded by the majestic ruins glowing in the soft spring sunlight.Sv: Turister rörde sig omkring som myror, och precis intill den stora Parthenon-templet stannade Erik för att sätta upp sin kamera på ett stativ.En: Tourists moved around like ants, and right next to the grand Parthenon temple, Erik stopped to set up his camera on a tripod.Sv: Han kastade en blick på sina vänner Lina och Björn som leende väntade några meter bort.En: He glanced at his friends Lina and Björn, who were smiling a few meters away.Sv: Erik ville återskapa Aristoteles berömda kontemplativa pose.En: Erik wanted to recreate Aristotle's famous contemplative pose.Sv: Den visande, tänkande mannen, det är vad han hoppades att fånga i sitt foto.En: The thoughtful, thinking man—that is what he hoped to capture in his photo.Sv: Men när han kikade ner upptäckte han ett problem.En: But as he looked down, he discovered a problem.Sv: Hans toga, en noggrant utformad del av hans outfit, var borta.En: His toga, a carefully crafted part of his outfit, was gone.Sv: Paniken spred sig snabbt.En: Panic spread quickly.Sv: Utan toga kändes Erik naken, och de förbipasserande turisternas leenden blev plötsligt till åtlöje.En: Without the toga, Erik felt bare, and the passing tourists' smiles suddenly turned to mockery.Sv: Han kastade sig över sin ryggsäck, besluten att inte låta detta förstöra hans dag.En: He threw himself over his backpack, determined not to let this ruin his day.Sv: Inne i väskan hittade han en gammal reservtröja.En: Inside the bag, he found an old spare shirt.Sv: Han vred och vände den till något som liknade en toga.En: He twisted and turned it into something resembling a toga.Sv: Hans försök till ett konstnärligt grepp såg mer komiskt ut än imponerande.En: His attempt at an artistic touch looked more comical than impressive.Sv: Precis då ropade Björn till.En: Just then, Björn shouted.Sv: Han höll upp Eriks försvunna toga.En: He held up Erik's missing toga.Sv: "Erik, jag tror du glömde denna på bänken," sa han med ett brett leende.En: "Erik, I think you left this on the bench," he said with a broad smile.Sv: Med rodnande kinder, drog Erik snabbt på sin riktiga toga och ställde sig i sin planerade pose.En: With blushing cheeks, Erik quickly put on his real toga and assumed his planned pose.Sv: Lina och Björn skrattade och imiterade hans pose bredvid honom, alla i olika tolkningar av Aristoteles.En: Lina and Björn laughed and imitated his pose beside him, all in different interpretations of Aristotle.Sv: Klick, klick, kameran fångade ögonblicket.En: Click, click, the camera captured the moment.Sv: Allas leenden och deras humoristiska poser blev det perfekta minnet.En: Everyone's smiles and their humorous poses became the perfect memory.Sv: Medan Erik studerade bilderna insåg han något viktigt.En: As Erik studied the pictures, he realized something important.Sv: Det var inte den exakta historiska korrektheten som gjorde ögonblicket speciellt, utan glädjen och skrattet med vännerna.En: It wasn't the exact historical accuracy that made the moment special, but the joy and laughter with his friends.Sv: När de lämnade Akropolis den dagen, kände Erik sig befriad.En: As they left the Acropolis that day, Erik felt liberated.Sv: Inget foto kunde ha fångat det de upplevde bättre än det spontana ögonblicket som de själva skapade.En: No photo could have captured what they experienced better than the spontaneous moment they themselves created.Sv: Spontanitet och humor hade vunnit över den strikta jakten på perfektion.En: Spontaneity and humor had won over the strict pursuit of perfection.

Ringen: 50 Jahre ist es her, dass die Ringer vom ASV Schorndorf deutscher Meister im Mannschaftsringen wurden. Und eben nach einem halben Jahrhundert haben sie es wieder geschafft. In den Finalkämpfen gegen Kleinostheim setzten sie sich durch und waren am Ende in der Ringer-Bundesliga die neuen Titelträger. Ringen, eine Sportart, die ein bisschen in Deutschland den Fokus verliert. Die "Sportstunde" ändert das und sprach mit dem Macher vom ASV Schorndorf. Sedat Sevsay ist dort nicht nur Trainer sondern auch Vorstand. Getroffen haben wir ihn in Griechenland, denn dort feiert er an der Akropolis in Athen den Triumph seiner Ringer. Roundnet: Die Mischung aus Volleyball und Beachvolleyball ist die Sportart Roundnet…Was ist denn das eigentlich? Im Sommer gerne gesehen in Parks in den Städten...Eine spannende Sportart, die in der "Sportstunde" Marcel Halle, Spieler und erster Vorsitzender von Roundnet Germany genau vorstellt.

Jau planuojate atostogas? Kokius namų darbus reikia padaryti žmonėms, turintiems negalią, jei planuose kelionė į Graikiją – ne tik senovinių griuvėsių ir gražių salų šalį, bet ir Vakarų civilizacijos lopšį bei mitologijos, šimtmečius žavinčios žmoniją, gimtinę? Ar Akropolis, kiti istoriniai bei kultūriniai objektai prieinami visiems? Kaip priima žmones su negalia aplinkiniai šioje šalyje?Pokalbis su socialinio verslo „Unikalus šokis“ įkūrėja ir vadove, organizacijos „Unikalus gyvenimas“ direktore, „Lietuvos galia“ bei „Poveikio akademijos“ laimėtoja Rita Juškyte ir kelionių vadove Graikijoje Laura Kaikaryte-Moysidou.„Labai džiugu, kad Akropolis yra pritaikytas žmonėms su judėjimo negalia, tačiau rasti liftą tikrai buvo iššūkių“, - pasakoja Rita, kuriai neseniai su kolega, turinčiu judėjimo ir regos negalią, teko lankytis Atėnuose. „Tokia jau yra graikiška kultūra, kad neretai būna neaišku, kas už ką atsakingas“, - sako kelionių vadovė Graikijoje Laura ir pataria žmonėms su negalia, jų artimiesiems kelionei ruoštis iš anksto.Ved.

Houslista, zpěvák a kapelník skupiny Čechomor, Karel Holas, už za sebou měl spolupráci s Vladimírem Mišíkem nebo skupinou České srdce, když se v polovině 90. let přidal k formaci, tehdy pojmenované Českomoravská hudební společnost. O tom, jak vedla cesta tohoto spolku od pravidelného hraní v Paláci Akropolis pro hrstku fanoušků po velká halová turné a spolupráci s Jazzem Colemanem či natáčení filmu Rok ďábla Petra Zelenky hovořil v dalším On Air. Řeč pochopitelně došla i například na spolupráci s Lenkou Dusilovou či Martinou Pártlovou a nové album Švarní šohajové. Podívejte se na celý rozhovor.

Welcome to the afterparty. We're gaming 'till we drop. Which might be pretty soon tbh because it turns out we're not as young as we once were. Alba articulates why we're still up gaming when all sensible souls have retired for the evening. Kenan's in charge of the quiz show this week which proves to be as bad an idea as it was last time. We explore the etymology of "meta" and Kenan recaps recent travels. Then we discuss games that keep us up when we're powering down, including Friday, Paleo, Hadrian's Wall, Lost Expedition, Eila and Something Shiny, Aqua, Cascadia, Meadow, Calico, Beacon Patrol, 8-bit difficulty, the Dylan of game design, modeling food chains, fast set-up, tactility, escalating challenges, and the limits of one's appetite for complexity. You tell us which games traipse across your tabletops in the wee hours, including Codenames Duet, The Seventh Citadel, Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion, Black Sonata, Akropolis, Nemesis: Lockdown, Next Station London, Unlock, Board Game Arena, and whatever Marvel Snap is. Finally, we congratulate ourselves for solving all the problems and challenge our listeners to be cool like us. Music by Alba and the Mighty Lions and Kenan. Sleep tight. Hosted on Acast.

Eines der touristischen Aushängeschilder Griechenlands ist die Athener Akropolis. Jahrhundertelang stand der Tempel perfekt erhalten auf dem berühmten Hügel. Aber dann kam der Niedergang: Durch Kriege wurden große Teile zerstört. Aber eine App zeigt, wie die Denkmäler des heiligen Felsens und die Hänge der Akropolis einmal ausgesehen haben. Moritz Pompl hat es ausprobiert. Doch nicht nur das, zudem tauchte unser Griechenland-Korrespondent ein in die Meze-Kultur und hat gute Neuigkeiten über Riesenmuscheln und Meeresschildkröten in Erfahrung begracht.

LYSSNA PÅ HELA AVSNITTET HÄR: https://snettinatbakat.se/ Med en rivande ångest i bröstet reser vi mot Aten och vi gör det delvis för att försöka förstå varifrån våra förfäder, amöborna, fick sina idéer. Men också för att Marcus ska få anledning att minnas en donut på Corfu, för att Emil ska få berätta om "tsatsikin med gaffel" igen och så för att få anledning att ringa Stig Blomqvist och höra hur jävla hårt Akropolis-rally var. Heureka!
Se svojí velmi pestrou elektronickou hudbou vyjíždějí po celé Evropě. Říkají si Bratři, a skutečně jsou to dvojčata, je jim sedmatřicet let. Jiří a Ondřej Veselí z pražské čtvrti Kobylisy, odkud pár dní před křtem alba nazvaného Escape dorazili do podcastu Host Reportéra. Z rozhovoru je zřejmé, jak pěkný spolu mají vztah: „Samozřejmě se občas pohádáme,“ zlehčují to, „ale stejně pořád bydlíme hned naproti sobě. Neuplyne den, kdy bychom si aspoň nenapsali, a hlavně víme, že se nám spolu výborně pracuje.“ Vyprávějí o tom, jak oba od dětství hráli závodně fotbal a zároveň na bicí: „V prváku na gymplu vyhrála muzika.“ Vystupovali s vlastní electro-popovou kapelou Cartonnage, kromě toho bubnovali s mnoha dalšími projekty coby nájemní bubeníci. „A taky jsme bubny učili na umělecké škole, což vlastně děláme dodnes,“ říkají v podcastu. Život nájemných bubeníků je po čase unavoval, a zároveň se čím dál více učili pracovat se syntezátory, jejichž zvuky ve zkušebně kombinovali se živým rytmem bicích. Výsledná hudba jim dávala smysl, a tak před osmi lety vznikli Bratři. Jejich elektronika se pohybuje na škále od ambientu až po techno, a například letos dvojčata zahrála tisíce fanoušků na Colors of Ostrava, v Budapešti na slavném Szigetu nebo na festivalu Cooltural ve španělské Almerii. Stále se drží toho, že o pět minut starší Jiří na pódiu hlavně bubnuje, zatímco Ondřej ovládá elektronické zvuky. Tento týden ve čtvrtek 7. listopadu pokřtí v pražském Paláci Akropolis album Escape, což bude dobrá ukázka originálního stylu, pro který se Bratři rozhodli. Kromě videoprojekcí pracují i s vůněmi, a některé zvuky ovlivňovat živá kytka, stojící přímo na pódiu. „Říkáme jí Ayra, a těsně před koncertem na ni napojíme dva senzory. Ty jsou vedeny do modulu, skrze který pak kytka může částečně ovládat parametry zvuku,“ vysvětlují v podcastu.
„Miroslav je karikaturista, Mirek je písničkář, “ rozděluje Miroslav Kemel své označení. Vydává páté album písní s názvem Modryjé, které bude pokřtěno 27. listopadu v pražském Paláci Akropolis. Fanoušky překvapí, že na albu jsou kromě tradičních bluesových balad i rychlejší, dynamické písně. „Rád střídám vlny energie, navíc na koncertech lidi baví se protáhnout a zatančit si, kapela to má taky ráda,“ zdůvodňuje Kemel.

Our longships were ready to sail. The crew had just completed stowing all provisions and supplies for the long voyage ahead. We needed resources and building materials to develop our fjord and complete our port, altar and Jarl palace. But we were not alone. Vikings from other fjords had the same ambition to store up the most riches and be crowned Jarl of the Vikings! It was a race, but we were ready!

Mais oui, il y a d'autres jeux bien cette semaine ! Ils sont dans cette vidéo ! ______________________________________
There are certain categories of games that I absolutely love. You will have heard about my recent escapades in the world of 18xx games and the excitement these types of games create for me. They offer me a good dose of brain training, while also being thematically enjoyable. Yet, there is another genre of games that I love: tile-laying games. So, in this article, I want to talk about these games a bit more and explain what I like about them so much.

Die grössten westlichen Wirtschaftsmächte treffen sich zur jährlichen Konferenz, dieses Mal im italienischen Apulien. Für Ministerpräsidentin Meloni kommt das Treffen zum idealen Zeitpunkt. Weitere Themen: * Sogar die Akropolis wird geschlossen: Eine Hitzewelle rollt über Griechenland. Wie viel bringen die Präventionsmassnahmen? * Friedensplan für Gaza: Wie geht es weiter bei den Verhandlungen? * In Island dürfen wieder Wale gejagt werden. Warum erteilt die Regierung erneut eine Lizenz?
Sometimes a game knows us better than we know ourselves. Rolling Reggie joins us to discuss games that subverted our expectations. Kenan tries to recreate one of his game-changing gaming experiences for friends and strangers alike. Alba greets our guest with a superfly icebreaker. Kenan takes accountability for his tile-based crimes. Then we consider some games that managed to surprise us when we thought we'd seen it all while Alba does her victory dance. Finally, we hear about what sorts of base diversions surprise the Rabble. Discussed: Spirit Island, Coffee Rush, Akropolis, Kingdomino, Memoir '44, Votes for Women, Captain Sonar, Battleship, Vale of Eternity, Winners' Circle, Pandemic, Just One, Bang the Dice Game, Kodama, Halls of Hegra, Maquis, Catan, Too Many Bones, Sky Team, Next Station London, innovations that become commonplace, balance, exploiting the strategy less traveled by, board game baristas, boardless games, variable turn order, knowable quantities, simple games that allow for expertise, private metas, the relativity of game weight, the appeal of aggressive games, playing the bad guy, meeting your friends' board game dads, self-discovery through gaming, being too cool, novelty deflation, childish games, floppers, accidental cheating, simultaneous turns, player interaction, asymmetry in coops, war themes in Euros, acclimating to heavy games, the value of lavish productions, productions that punch above their weight, and how to talk to Kayden about the Punchboard Cathedral podcast. Music by Alba and the Mighty Lions and Kenan. Wonder aloud. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Another year has gone by in a flash and it's time again for me to start another convention season. Well, I say "season", but that's exaggerating it. I'm actually only attending two board game shows this year. I just can't afford to fly everywhere and spend time away from home. So I chose two events that I really enjoyed last year and that won't cost me the world. The first of these is, of course, UK Games Expo 2024.

What's the use in feeling bad? Kenan attempts to explain the shelf of shame to non-gamers. Alba attempts to salvage the vibes by dangling some tantalizing theoretical IP adaptations. We correct the record, discuss our ongoing flame war with our northern rivals, and recap holiday gaming (we recorded this one a while ago), discussing Jamaica, Werewolf, Pyramido, Akropolis, verticality, and downtime mitigation. Then we chat about Taverns of Tiefenthal, overly thematic language, deck-gentrification, Quacks, Kanban EV, workplace backstabbery, cool games with unappealing themes, beastly games with appealing themes, the value of aspirational games, the questionable necessity of the My City Roll n' Write, why no one ever told Alba about Beacon Patrol, Blitzkrieg!, the appeal of games/girls that don't even try, and the thematic ubiquity of WWII. We find out what games are buckling your shelves of shame and savagely critique your moral failings. JK we would never. We're obsessed with you. Featuring soulful jams by Alba and the Might Lions and bedroom guitar by Kenan. Carry that Weight. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Podcast Vlna před vyprodaným koncertem v pražském Paláci Akropolis navštívil jeden z výrazných členů slovenské undergroundové scény, rapper Dušan Vlk. Jaké to je opustit po letech korporát a vydat se na výhradně na hudební dráhu? Jak jde dohromady rap, punk a otcovství? A může nám zlost dodat naději v temných časech?

Auch vor einhundert Jahren und damit einhundert Jahre nach Goethe blieb den meisten Menschen in den hiesigen nördlichen Breiten nichts anderes übrig, als das Land der Griechen, wenn überhaupt, mit der Seele zu suchen. Zu den wenigen Privilegierten, die seinerzeit auch physisch eine Reise an die sogenannte Wiege unserer Zivilisation realisieren konnten, zählte der hier bei Auf den Tag genau sehr geschätzte Publizist Victor Auburtin, der im Frühjahr 1924 gleich mehrere Monate in ägäischen Gefilden weilte und von dort von Zeit zu Zeit mit launigen Artikeln im Berliner Tageblatt grüßte, mit denen er seinen Aufenthalt vermutlich teilfinanzierte. Sein Bericht aus Athen vom 16. Februar streift dabei nur sehr kurz zum touristischen Höhepunkt auf die Akropolis, um sich stattdessen ausgiebig im zeitgenössischen Athener Leben – auf dem Markt, an der Börse, im Kafénion – umzutun.
