We were thrilled to meet Ben Rosset, co-designer of our favorite deduction games The Search for Planet X and The Search for Lost Species (as well as the classic Between Two Cities), at Gen Con 2024. Find out why that first meeting was ridiculous (in our eyes), what's Ben's creative process on his deeply thematic designs, and how we feel about the various types of second-edition board games. Timeline: 2:58 - Christina's game pick: Kronologic: Paris 1920. 9:58 - Shoe's game pick: Sacred Valley. 14:58 - Ben's game pick: Century: Spice Road/Golem Edition. 23:05 - Going Analog's topic: designing board games around interesting themes. 34:13 - Ben's topic: the good and bad of second editions.
We put on our City Planner hats, got our clip boards, and worked together to build a bunch of cities. That's right, you guessed it, we're playing Between Two Cities. Designed by Matthew O'Malley and Ben Rosset, then published by Stonemaier Games in 2015. Post your comments to Twitter/Instagram @FirstTurnCast or email us at firstturntabletop@gmail.com.

Okay, this end of the BGG top list starts to get weird. Regardless, we must draft. Who's going to end up with the best selection of five games from this chunk of one hundred? That's up to you - vote and you could win a $50 gift voucher!

Yes, you could make the argument that every game is a negotiation game if you try hard enough, but for a lot of games it's more integral to the design. We look at games that we think integrate negotiation mechanics especially well, and ask how much is too much (or too little) when it comes to negotiation. Before we compromise, we talk about Septima, and Kremlin. 02:12 - Septima 18:09 - Kremlin 34:26 - Negotiation as a mechanic 35:51 - Catan 38:01 - Sidereal Confluence: Trading and Negotiation in the Elysian Quadrant 43:23 - Inis 45:45 - Rising Sun 47:31 - Between Two Cities 49:22 - Dune 50:28 - Spartacus: A Game of Blood and Treachery 52:48 - Diplomacy Check out our wiki at: https://boardgamebarrage.com/wiki Join the discussion at: https://boardgamebarrage.com/discord Join our Facebook group at: https://boardgamebarrage.com/facebook Get a Board Game Barrage T-shirt at: https://boardgamebarrage.com/store

If you noticed that we discussed men and women, respectively, over the last two episodes, you may already have an incorrect idea of what the Blending episode is all about. So let me be clear. Things God made to be distinct will remain distinct, despite our best efforts. But sometimes the whole becomes more than merely the sum of its parts. That's true with Jews and Gentiles in the church, fact and fiction in books, different singing parts in a chorus, and even the occasional board game mashup. May God help us know the difference between the good blends and the bad. Hal Hammons is the preacher for the Lakewoods Drive church of Christ in Georgetown, Texas. He is the host of the Citizen of Heaven podcast. You are encouraged to seek him and the Lakewoods Drive church through Facebook and other social media. Lakewoods Drive is an autonomous group of Christians dedicated to praising God, teaching the gospel to all who will hear, training Christians in righteousness, and serving our God and one another faithfully. We believe the Bible is God's word, that Jesus died on the cross for our sins, that heaven is our home, and that we have work to do here while we wait. Regular topics of discussion and conversation include: Christians, Jesus, obedience, faith, grace, baptism, New Testament, Old Testament, authority, gospel, fellowship, justice, mercy, faithfulness, forgiveness, Twenty Pages a Week, Bible reading, heaven, hell, virtues, character, denominations, submission, service, character, COVID-19, assembly, Lord's Supper, online, social media, YouTube, Facebook. Key words, blending, blend, singing, men, women, Between Two Castles of Mad King Ludwig, Castles of Mad King Ludwig, Castles, Between Two Cities, King Ludwig, mashup, Jews, Gentiles, Galatians 3:28, roles, harmony, songs,
Erica, Gil, Scott, and Sen have a roundtable discussion about player counts. We go through each of the common player counts, as well as a few uncommon counts, and discuss what's special about designing for them. SHOW NOTES 0m39s: Our thoughts about and general strategies for designing games at different player counts. 5m42s: 2-player games 9m20s: We chatted with Matt Wolfe about decision scales on Ludology 157 - Come Scale Away. 13m08s: Inhuman Conditions 13m59s: Belfort 16m24s: Alien: Fate of the Nostromo 19m41s: Pandemic 22m06s: Tokaido, High Rise 24m20s: Scott Pilgrim Miniatures the World 24m38s: 3p games 26m44s: The three-body problem. 27m38s: Here's Cole Wehrle's talk on kingmaking in games, and how it can be a good thing. 28m16s: Churchill 28m37s: Basari, which was adapted into Edel, Stein, and Reich in 2003 and modified to try to better handle a higher player count. Also, a note on ties with 3-players: it's impossible to tie on a vote with 3 voters (or any number of odd voters), as long as you are limited to two choices to vote for. Once you have at least 3 choices to vote for, the possibility space gets far more complicated (see the three-body problem above). 30m52s: Rayguns & Rocketships 32m25s: 9-5-2 is known by various names. Here are the rules to Sergeant Major, which is a very similar game; rule changes for 9-5-2 are further down the page. Also: Carolus Magnus, Bargain Hunter, End of the Triumvirate (Gil was wrong, it can play 2 players), Three Kingdoms Redux 32m58s: 4p games 38m24s: Stuffed Fables, Between Two Cities 39m14s: Tichu 40m03s: 5p games. Also, a note: Eagle-eared listeners will notice that you don't hear much from Scott from now until the end of the episode. He had to leave our recording session early, so we quickly recorded his bits for the end of the episode. And that's how the sausage gets made! 41m10s: 7 Wonders 44m16s: Alhambra, Alhambra: The Vizier's Favor, Catan: 5-6 Player Extension 47m36s: 6p games 50m44s: Godfather: A New Don. The "other Godfather game" Sen is hinting at is The Godfather: Corleone's Empire by friend of the show Eric Lang. 54m43s: Floor Plan, Welcome To..., Take It Easy, Time's Up, Karuba 56m11s: Werewolf, Two Rooms and a Boom 57m11s: The Unlock! series of games, Cranium 1h00m59s: Terra Mystica 1h01m23s: Arkham Horror 1h02m02s: 1p games. If you want to know more about designing solo versions of games, check out Ludology 154 - Leave Me Alone! (with Morten Monrad Pedersen), Ludology 234 - Playing With Time (with Dávid Turczi), and Ludology 248 - Solo-liloquy (with Carla Kopp). 1h05m12s: Onirim 1h06m38s: Chainsaw Warrior. Sen also mentions Ian Livingstone, who created the Fighting Fantasy series of interactive books with Steve Jackson (that is, the British Steve Jackson who co-founded Games Workshop, not the American Steve Jackson who designed Ogre, GURPS, Illuminati, and Munchkin. To muddy the picture further, the latter Steve Jackson authored three Fighting Fantasy books himself!). 1h07m33s: Kingdom Rush: Rift in Time 1h10m03s: 0p games, starting with So, You've Been Eaten. (Note that the BGG header only shows it as a 1-2 player game; technical limitations prevent it from properly showing as a 0-2 player game.) 1h11m34s: Strat-o-matic Baseball 1h13m30s: In Ludology 142 - Slots of Fun, Geoff and Mike chatted with slot machine designer Jeremy Hornik. 1h15m19s: Another link to Alien: Fate of the Nostromo. 1h15m43s: Sen's project: Avatar: Last Airbender RPG, Tiny Frontiers: Mecha and Monsters (referred to as "Mechs vs. Kaiju"), Coded Chronicles (Jay and Sen have already designed games with the Scooby Doo and The Shining licenses for this series), Dungeon & Dragons: Rock Paper Wizard 1h16m34s: Erica's projects: Rat Queens: To the Slaughter, Disney Sidekicks 1h17m37s: Gil's projects: Networks Broken Token insert, shipping issues, con season coming up
In our one hundred and thirty-ninth episode, Aaron is joined by Suzanne Sheldon from The Dice Tower podcast and the Salt and Sass Games Twitch stream. We talk about Food Chain Magnate: Ketchup Mechanism and Other Ideas expansion, and Tiny Towns: Villagers and Trees expansions in the BA Banter. Then in our Digital Diversion segment we talk about Hades, and Griftlands. We reflect on our review of Between Two Cities from 100 episodes ago. Then you listeners Ask Aaron Anything, where you get a chance to ask Aaron and his guest anything you want. This episode is sponsored by Board Game Bliss
I have never seen such a fantastical theme. Cats that desire order over chaos, patterns over randomness, and who can see in reds and pinks. Today we're reviewing Calico, a powerful tile-laying pattern-matching game in a small box. After that, it's the strength of our favorite and least favorite board game names. Which ones perfectly capture the essence of these games and which junk them up with their garbage words.

I will give thanks for the assurance we have in our salvation. Balancing confidence and humility is tricky, but thankfully we have Jesus to show us the way.I will give thanks for God’s presence, as expressed in Aaron’s benediction. It’s easier to remember our blessings when we remind one another from time to time.I will give thanks for Charles Schultz. I plan on watching A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving again this year, and remembering the great opportunities and responsibilities we have in America.I will give thanks for Between Two Cities, a board game that makes the player pursue his own goals by helping his neighbors pursue theirs. Kind of like the local church.
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! How much Space you gonna need?: How big is it on the table? How much space does a game actually need to be played. This Episode Underwater Cities and Funkoverse! To the Limit - The guys push a game to the actual limit based on what the rules actually allow. This could be min maxing a particular strategy, to exploiting a particular rule, to playing games at their full player count. They recall their experience and discuss the results again all within the confines of the rules. This time we talk about which games should or should not be played at their full player count: Shouldn’t be: Wingspan, Root , Rising Sun, Terraforming Mars Should be: Sidereal Confluence, Between Two Cities, Captain Sonar, Kemet , Dice Throne, Kings of Air and Steam, Settlers of Catan (with Expansions; 5-6 Player: Cities & Knights, Seafarers) 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.

Players aren't the only people who make choices, of course. Designers and publishers make decisions about the setting and the theme of their games. Insofar as games can communicate a message--whether purely aesthetic or more ideological--it is beneficial to have a clear vision. Things can get exceptionally problematic when you start playing fast and loose with things of great cultural and historical import. Incidentally, I will note that while our topic and our feature game often have no connection between them, sometimes they do. I don't know why I'm mentioning that this week.Games Played Last Week: -Hyperborea: Light and Shadow 1m37s (Andrea Chiarvesio, Maurizio Vergendo, & Pierluca Zizzi, Asterion Press, 2016)-Between Two Cities 3m15s (Matthew O'Malley, Morten Monrad Pedersen, & Ben Rosset, Stonemaier, 2015)-Factory Funner 5m03s (Corné van Moorsel, Cwali, 2016)-Photosynthesis 8m06s (Hjalmar Hach, Blue Orange, 2017)-Stephenson's Rocket: Eastern USA & China 9m13s (Reiner Knizia, Grail Games, 2018)-Petrichor 12m12s (David Chircop & Dávid Turczi, APE Games, 2018)-The Voyages of Marco Polo 12m57s (Simone Luciani & Daniele Tascini, Hans im Gluck, 2015)-Teotihuacan: City of Gods 14m59s (Daniele Tascini, NSKN Games, 2018)-Dominant Species 15m37s (Chad Jensen, GMT, 2010)-Res Publica 18m03s (Reiner Knizia, Queen, 1991)News (and why it doesn't matter)-Descent into new digital depths 22m05s-Fards of Inshinity digital 22m20s-Failed Carnival of Monsters rises again 23m02s-Die Macher won't die 24m15sFeature Game: Crusaders: Thy Will Be Done 25m10s (Seth Jaffee, Tasty Minstrel, 2018)Topic: Thematic Disconnects 48m15s

Per sort pels aficionats, comencem a tenir editorials petites i no tan petites que publiquen en castellà gairebé qualsevol novetat interessant. Una de les no tan petites és SD Games, que esdevé el braç editorial de la distribuïdora SD Distribuciones. Tot i no ser una novetat, Between Two Cities és un joc impactant per la dinàmica tan diferent que proposa: jugar cooperant amb els jugadors del nostre costat dret i esquerre tot competint per obtenir la millor puntuació individualment. A més d'aquesta particularitat, portem a la ràdio Between Two Cities perquè César Sánchez (director editorial de SD Games) ens ha confirmat que hi haurà edició en castellà de la seva recent i esperada expansió Capitals, presentada a la darrera fira d'Essen.

In our thirty-ninth episode, we are joined by a very special co-host, Suzanne Sheldon of Board Game Breakfast & Blender. We do a Survival Kit about Crit Hit Cermamic Dice and talk about the games we have been playing lately. We also review the drafting city building game Between Two Cities, and discuss Board Games Apps.
Chris and Jay review Between Two Cities, The Grizzled, Exploding Kittens, Codenames, Tesla v. Edison and Forbidden Stars.
In Episode 34, Craig digs in to three tile placement games, which quickly becomes a lesson on intro/family games. During the episode he discusses Lanterns: The Harvest Festival from Foxtrot Games and Renegade Games, Between Two Cities from Stonemaier Games, and New York 1901 from Blue Orange Games.

In this second part of our "Between Two Cities" post-mortem, I am joined by Jamey Stegmaier of Stonemaier Games and designers Matthew O'Malley and Ben Rosset. We touch on the Kickstarter campaign, game development contracts and designing expansions, as well as protecting intellectual property.
This episode features game designers Jamey Stegmaier, Matthew O'Malley and Ben Rosset, discussing the latest release from Stonemaier Games, Between Two Cities. We break down the entire development and publishing process, from the idea for the game to launching the Kickstarter, in this first of two parts.
I got to talk to Jamey Stegmaier about the Stonemaier Games upcoming release, Scythe. The transcription of the interview is below and you can always subscribe to iTunes and listen to the podcast there. In addition to talking about Scythe and the hype engine that surrounds the game, I also ask Jamey a few unusual questions, which serve as the beginning of a, hopefully ongoing, segment I like to call "Inside the Designer Studio" or something like that. The name is a work in progress. Lots of laughs were had. After seeing the amazing miniatures for Scythe, I cannot wait for this game to launch on Kickstarter. RICHARD: This is Richard Miles with Board Games Authority and today I have the privilege of talking with… JAMEY: Jamey Stegmaier of Stonemaier games. RICHARD: Hi Jamey, thank you for agreeing to be on the show today and taking some time out of your day. JAMEY: I think the last time we chatted was at Gen Con, when we had a good time just hanging out in the demo room that we have there. RICHARD: Yeah, yeah, those were good times. For me, Gen Con is just such a big, awesome, experience. It was my first time so I was just overwhelmed and blown away by just how much of an awesome convention that was. JAMEY: Yeah, yeah, that was my second Gen Con and the first year I just walked around for four days just kind of overwhelmed and trying to figure out how I could fit my little company into that giant entity that is Gen Con. RICHARD: Alright, well, let’s jump into some Stonemaier Games news. In 2015 it seems like we will see at least two games from Stonemaier games. We'll see 'Between Two Cities' and 'Scythe'. Let's talk about Scythe first, if you don't mind, because that game has received a lot of, a lot of hype for the limited information that has been released on it. Most of the hype has been completely positive that I've seen. It's been overwhelmingly positive and, I think, rightly so, but there has been a few negatives that I've heard. And a lot of it has to do with the hype. It has to do with: it has too much hype for too little information and it's just a hype engine. It's just running on your past success and an image, a good looking image, a great looking image, but that's it. There's no meat. How do you take that kind of, I don't know if that's a criticism, but how do you take that? You know, does that put a dampener on your day and what do you do about that? JAMEY: Well, I think hype, hype is an interesting thing because I've heard that term thrown out, definitely with Scythe, and even with previous games. And what hype, to me is, is it's a lot of people being excited about something, and then it's some people who end up getting that thing, and they end up being either not as excited about it as they were like a few months before that, or they're not as excited, or they don't end up liking it as much as people seem to be excited about it. Like, hype in its essence is kind of an empty thing. I guess, it’s just people being excited about something. Right? RICHARD: Right. JAMEY: Well, most hype is, I think, I mean, the other type of hype that, I think is, can be misused, is a company or an individual hyping their own thing and saying, "This thing is awesome, you should be excited about it." And, I think, that's a key difference here because with Scythe I, yeah, I basically put out a press release with an image and I talked a little bit about the game, but I made sure that people knew, in that press release, and on BoardGameGeek and everywhere I could, that the game was in very early development. So, this wasn't really a case of me going out there and saying, "Hey, this thing is awesome, you, everyone should be so excited about this thing." It was more like, I put this little thing out there and people got really excited about it and I kind of love that. I mean,
In Episode 17, Craig and guest-co-host B discuss a few games they've played this week: Aquasphere from Stefan Feld and Tasty Minstrel Games, and Kingsburg from Fantasy Flight. In Kickstarter news, they talk about Above and Below from Ryan Laukat and Red Raven Games. During the What the What?! segment, Craig defines what a pasted on theme which leads to a discussion on what came first, the Mechanic or the Theme? In the main topic of this episode, Craig and B set up a theme game night with a plethora of Antoine Bauza games, ranging from the simplistic to the complex and everything in between, and their ideas on implementing a Bauza game night, including games like Tokaido, Hanabi, Ghost stories, and 7 Wonders. Finally Craig subjects B to the "know your podcaster lightning round"!

In Episode 16, Craig and Dave tackle the fringes of the role of art in hobby games, touching on the characterisctics artwork and design adds to the look, play style, and theme of games. They discuss a few games they've played this week including Samurai Spirit from Funforge and Antoine Bauza, Ancient Terrible Things from Pleasant Company Games, and Wizard Dodgeball from Peter Newland and Mind the Gap Studios. They talk some kickstarter hype with Dragoon from Lay Waste Games, Between Two Cities from Jamey Stegmaier, and Project Dreamscape from Ben Haskett. In their What the What segment, they take a few minutes to define and describe the term point salad weighing the advantages and disadvantages of the mechanic. Lastly, in a new segment, you get to learn a little bit about everyone's favorite bearded co-host, Dave, in out "Know Your Podcaster Lightning Round" Show Times: Samurai Spirit (Funforge): 4:00 Ancient Terrible Things (Pleasant Company Games): 11:30 Wizard Dodgeball (Mind The Gap Studios): 16:15 COMING SOON: Steam Donkey (Ragnar Brothers): 29:15 X-COM (FFG): 30:30 Dragoon Kickstarter (Lay Waste Games): 32:30 Between Two Cities Kickstarter (Stonemaier Games): 37: 00 Project Dreamscape Kickstarter (Ben Haskett): 40:00 Bad Medicine--Botch Plays Plug (Formal Ferret): 50:45 What the What?!

This was a very special week for us. Not only were we able to come together for the first time in nearly three months at Dreamation 2015 in Morristown, NJ, but we had the opportunity to play a number of fantastic new games, including our feature review for this week’s episode, Between Two Cities. This week we also discuss the ridiculous grabs we made at the convention auction and some of the other games we got to the table, including Roll for the Galaxy, Pandemic Survival, and Diamonds. We had a blast and are extremely excited for the next Double Exposure convention in April, Maelstrom.
A few days ago I was able to corner Jamey Stegmaier into doing a podcast with me. The transcription of the interview is below and you can always subscribe to iTunes and listen to the podcast there. In this awesome episode, Jamie and I talk about Between Two Cities, which should launch on Kickstarter on February 25th. We also talk about Viticulture and the cock jokes that can be made because of the rooster tokens, and then we discuss the Tuscany tile misprint and whether Jamey lost any sleep over that. We also touch on the topic of board games being a great tool that introverts can use to connect with other people and how board games can be used either during or as a part of therapy. RICHARD: This is Richard Miles with Board Game Authority and today I have the privilege of talking with... JAMEY: Jamey Stegmaier of Stonemaier Games. RICHARD: Alright, well let's jump into some Stonemaier Games news. In 2015 it seems like we will see at least two games from Stonemaier Games. We’ll see ‘Between Two Cities’ and ‘Scythe.’ Let's talk about ‘Between Two Cities.’ JAMEY: Yeah. RICHARD: This game will actually come out before ‘Scythe’ but I haven't seen as much hype surrounding it. Have you seen a difference as well from ‘Between Two Cities’ and ‘Scythe’ and why do you think that would be? JAMEY: Well, yeah they're very different games. I mean I wish ‘Between Two Cities’ would have gotten as much attention and excitement as ‘Scythe’. But, and part of it is that we didn't have art for ‘Between Two Cities’ until fairly recently and it was on the Board Game Geek list for like games people are most excited about in 2015 and it's near the, at least it was nominations, it is near the top of that list. It was definitely in the top 20 and that vote is currently happening. So, my sense is that a lot of people are excited about it. It's just not, like it's a gateway game so it's like getting super, super excited about ‘Settlers of Catan’ when it came out. Like it might end up being a game that hits the table all the time but you're going to get more excited about the Star Wars Imperial Assault game, even if you don't buy it because it's so expensive you know. So I'm kind of putting it in that category, you know, of excitement and hype. This is the first game that we're publishing that wasn't designed by me, basically, right? RICHARD: And do you think that has anything to do with the hype or lack thereof? JAMEY: No I don't. I mean that's a good question and it was my concern. Like one of the major discussions we had early on was… So the designers are Ben Rosset and Matthew O’Malley. They're both talented designers and they have a few games published and I knew going into it that I would be developing the game which was essentially like, you know, the designers design the game and the developer comes in and hones the game and helps balance and makes it better, makes every element of it interesting and fun. At least that's the goal right? So, one of the discussions we had early on was: should my name go on the box as like ‘Developed by Jamey Stegmaier’? And so we had a big debate about it. And the only reason… and that may sound egotistical. Ego wise I don't care at all about having my name on the box but I thought if it helped sell it to our followers, the Stonemaier followers, if that would help then I would put it on there. What we ended up determining was that that probably wouldn't matter. Like all the people who already follow us, I could directly tell them through the Kickstarter page or through my e-newsletter that I was involved in the process and that I didn't need to put my name on the box to ensure that that was communicated. RICHARD: Since this will be the first game that is just kind of published by Stonemaire Games, that's not a Jamey Stegmaier and Alan Stone game. Do you feel this is pivotal to the future and the success of Stonemai...
