Welcome to our year-end eleganza extravaganza! Lists are compiled. Harsh truths confronted. For example, while one generally takes a while to acclimatize to the using the new year in dates, 2022 seemed immediately apt and people switched over effortlessly. 2023 still seems weird, though--as evidenced by the fact that we forgot to change our tags for our 2023 episodes thus far!

Walker has yet to inform us what agenda the aliens are pursuing in Argentina during their relentless campaign of cow abduction.

Do the inscrutable extraterrestrials differentiate between different humans, perhaps much as they differentiate between cows? Are their secret machinations behind the British East India Company as well?

Meeple Nation Episode 427 This week we are talking about Ankh: Gods of Egypt, from designer Eric Lang and CMON Games. Play as a god of ancient Egypt, competing to survive as society begins to forget the old ways, so that only you and your followers remain. Come join us at the game table.

Matt, Maddie and Meehan are here with a shorter podcast than usual, but stuffed to the brim with talk about all the board games we've played! Is asymmetric strategy game Crescent Moon the next Root? Is Eric Lang's mythic blockbuster Ankh: Gods of Egypt as good as Blood Rage and Rising Sun? Is Wayfarers of the South Tigris worth putting on your map? How does two-player gem Watergate hold up? Has Maddie finally managed to play noir superhero RPG City of Mist? We answer all these questions, plus several more that nobody asked, then take a quick look at a seriously impressive fan-made The Last of Us board game and the latest tabletop RPG bundle supporting reproductive rights in the US. (Post-show correction to Matt's bad geography: The river Tigris is in Western Asia, not North Africa!)

The Golden Geek results are in for 2021, and to avoid burying the lede ... we won! We're over the moon, naturally, but we couldn't have done it without you.

Behold the glory of Ra! Or whoever the alligator guy is. Dog heads! Cat heads! It's time for Egypt! Ankh: Gods of Egypt, in fact! Brought to you buy CMON and Eric M. Lang as the third of a trilogy of area control games!

This week we take a look at two hot games that had Kickstarters alongside each other back in 2020. Which game plays best and do we regret our backing decisions. It's Ankh vs. Kemet.  *** Sponsor This Week: Let's Make Art! Let's make art simple- together! Check out Let's Make Art today by going to our special link, zen.ai/boardgamersanonymous.

On today's episode, we review the trick taking and area control hybrid Game Brian Boru, and we finally count down our top games of 2021, with Mitch joining the A-side for some star-studded speaking. But before that, we review Brian Boru, a trick taking game that pairs well with a map of Ireland.

In this episode, Patrick joins us and we discuss, Gen Con, Patrick's general disdain for IP, Horror Movie Month, and do a round of Which is Worse. We also review Azul: Queen's Garden, Marrakesh, Island's in the Mist and do a Harper's Bazaar. We deep dive Ankh and reroll Ecos: First Continent.   

No one likes missing out on the new or best games, but sometimes you have more games than you have to play them. On this week of the Discussion Phase, we rank the hottest games that we've missed out on and want to play next. We review recent plays and share more thoughts on Ankh: Gods of Egypt. We continue our series "Battle of the Big Box Stores."
