There was no way out. The cell door was locked, the corridor quiet, and the warders had already done their rounds. A smuggled spoon pressed cold against the palm of my hand, a comb tucked into a loose floorboard, a stamp in my sock and a muffin hidden in the mess. None of it made sense yet, but I would figure it out. I had to. I was going to escape Spike Island, and when I did, my captors would shout: "He Fled!" by Mark K. Swanson from Odd Bird Games with art by Klemens Franz.Read the full review here: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2025/07/26/fled-saturday-review/Useful LinksFled: https://oddbirdgames.com/escape-from-a-vile-victorian-prison/Rulebook: https://boardgamegeek.com/filepage/275195/official-fled-english-rulebook-compressed-v3Odd Bird Games: https://oddbirdgames.com/BGG listing: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/382444/fledMusicIntro Music: Bomber (Sting) by Riot (https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/)Sound Effects: bbc.co.uk – © copyright 2025 BBCMusic: Cicle Vascule by Blue Dot SessionsSupportIf you want to support this podcast financially, please check out the links below:Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/TabletopGamesBlogPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/tabletopgamesblogWebsite: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/support/

Cultisti. Ci sono degli episodi che richiamano schemi ben precisi. Ogni tanto però ci sono anche episodi dove ognuno fa un po' come gli pare. Questo è uno di questi episodi. Si può dire questo di questi? Mah. Pare un po' inception. Lo lasciamo così, via. La provocazione dell'artista, il seme del dubbio, il tarlo che scava e che fa perdere le certezze sintattiche. Chi lo sa. Comunque sia, il testo di questa settimana è difficile, perché gli argomenti sono stati tanti e trattati con libertà. Non c'era il Duca, quindi niente pugni forti sul tavolo, e alla fine anche pochi litigi. Per il resto, il conduttore ha espresso in modo contorto alcuni concetti semplici e Ale ha messo ordine facendo casino, solito TRAM TRAM, insomma. E non è ancora arrivato Bomb Busters. Buon ascolto e come sempre… Ci vediamo dall'altra parte!Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/dunwich-buyers-club--2814177/support.

When the locals told you the ancient tales of a mysterious island that was said to be strewn with gold, gems and many other treasures, you knew you had to go and discover the island's secrets for yourself. Even when they warned you that it was home to countless ferocious dragons and that the waters around it were infested with dangerous serpents, you weren't swayed. So you set off at night, the only time when the island would appear, because it was the Isle of Night by Dustin Dowdle from Red Raven Games with art by Ryan Laukat.Read the full review here: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2025/07/19/isle-of-night-saturday-review/Useful LinksIsle of Night: https://www.redravengames.com/isle-of-night/Rulebook: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/w7f9isvhg6ou96pt7hz55/AAADklDEQzem8AAvT4Lx9KY?dl=0&e=1&preview=Isle+of+Night_rulebook_ver+04.pdf&rlkey=fcm9tckdbzhqct9d340ntgt7u&st=ge7qkdveRed Raven Games: https://www.redravengames.com/BGG listing: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/412997/isle-of-nightEight-Minute Empire: Legends review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2019/12/07/eight-minute-empire-legends-saturday-review/MusicIntro Music: Bomber (Sting) by Riot (https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/)Sound Effects: bbc.co.uk – © copyright 2025 BBCMusic by https://www.bensound.com/free-music-for-videosLicense code: HGUUXN5BDOHW43LXArtist: Theatre Of DelaysSupportIf you want to support this podcast financially, please check out the links below:Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/TabletopGamesBlogPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/tabletopgamesblogWebsite: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/support/

It was the first day of our project. It was also the first day on Mars. There were another forty-two days ahead of us, and every day, including today, we were faced with a different mission. These missions were going to get more challenging as we progressed. Our team consisted of a cryptographer, a navigator, a geologist, a mineralogist, a geochemist, a physicist, and even a futurist. So we were hopeful that we would successfully make it through this Mars Expedition: Sol 43 by Sergii Cherkasov and Lina Chykaliuk from Queensell.Read the full review here: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2025/07/12/mars-expedition-sol-43-saturday-review/Useful LinksMars Expedition: Sol 43: https://queensell.com/pages/sol43Queensell: https://queensell.com/BGG listing: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/413868/mars-expedition-sol43Escape Room Puzzles review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2020/02/01/escape-room-puzzles-saturday-review/EXIT game series: https://store.thamesandkosmos.com/collections/exit-the-gameAdventure Games: The Dungeon review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2022/06/25/adventure-games-the-dungeon-saturday-review/Suspects review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2022/04/09/suspects-saturday-review/MusicIntro Music: Bomber (Sting) by Riot (https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/)EGLAIR by Alex-Productions | https://onsound.eu/Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons / Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_USIncredulity by Scott Buckley | https://soundcloud.com/scottbuckleyMusic promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons / Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SupportIf you want to support this podcast financially, please check out the links below:Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/TabletopGamesBlogPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/tabletopgamesblogWebsite: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/support/

Josh Wood, designer and developer at AEG, joins the show as I lead him on a tour of my great home state, Wisconsin. Despite my chaotic whims as a tour guide, Josh had some say in the destination choices, “drafting” between one of two locations for our third through sixth stops—with those selections discarding a different set of prepared questions. Fortunately for you, the third member of this trip, you were in for a treat no matter what locations/questions were selected, as Josh's attention to detail, place, movement, stories, art, and experience leave you with a fantastic episode (and awesome games; go check out Josh's games).Josh's: BGG PageInstagramBlueskyLet's Go!

The first two locations were kind of linked to some introductory thoughts, so those will be more normal. Additionally, the travel distances will be posted on the Games Mentioned in this Episode Google Doc (click if you listened, otherwise you'll be spoiled a bit).Show Introduction and the Apostle Islands (0:00)How Josh's background in visual effects has entered his game design mixed in with some stories behind his art/art direction.Spring Green/House on the Rock (10:33)Josh talks about the story behind Let's Go!

Some of the aforementioned focus on place and theme take place here as well.[Semi-related, but I misspoke and said this was a Frank Lloyd Wright design. While he is a part of the story, he definitely wasn't the person who designed it, as that was Alex Jordan Jr., so look up more of that story because it's pretty interesting.]All That Glitters is not Bronze?

In response to Queen Victoria's love of Osborne House, railways were built that ran from Cowes to Newport and from Ryde to Ventnor. As if to underline the significance of the project, two rival companies, the LSWR and LBSC, collaborated to create a train network that was soon hailed as a triumph of public service over profitability and that ran from Ryde to Ventnor, Freshwater to Newport, Cowes to Ryde via Newport, Newport to Sandown and Merstone to Ventnor. All of this happened in 1860: Railways on the Isle of Wight by Mike Hutton from All-Aboard Games.Read the full review here: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2025/06/28/1860-railways-on-the-isle-of-wight-digital-eyes/Useful Links1860: Railways on the Isle of Wight: https://all-aboardgames.com/products/international-1860-railways-on-the-isle-of-wightRulebook: https://boardgamegeek.com/filepage/238952/third-edition-rulesRules video: https://youtu.be/tb8DpmU0JrE?si=0gUdS68QBy_AOmJQAll-Aboard Games: https://all-aboardgames.com/BGG listing: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/12750/1860-railways-on-the-isle-of-wight18xx.games: https://18xx.games/MusicIntro Music: Bomber (Sting) by Riot (https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/)Sound Effects: bbc.co.uk – © copyright 2025 BBCMusic I Use: Bensound.com/free-music-for-videosLicense code: CILZ3MAE6USRDRHRSupportIf you want to support this podcast financially, please check out the links below:Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/TabletopGamesBlogPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/tabletopgamesblogWebsite: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/support/

This episode we're back talking about one of our most popular topics, two player games. We take a look at some recent finds and list off some of our new favourite games for two.

Chad Elkins, Founder and Lead Developer at 25th Century Games, joins the show for its 25th 36th episode. This episode is so piping hot that you'll need your best stoneware mug to keep it contained. Through a ton of insightful commentary on general development, localization, and reprinting games, and the fun stories surrounding all of these processes, there are so many takeaways to things I'd been wondering about for some time. Chad also gives away the “formuoli” for getting the rights to something like Ra. With so much enjoyable conversation here, make sure you Run Run Run! to wherever you listen to your podcasts and check out this episode.There's a lot to look out for 25th Century Games, so check out their website, social media profiles, and current crowdfunding project (wrapping up soon, but there will be a late-pledge option on Kickstarter until the the pledge manager on Backerkit opens, where late-pledging will be available as well!)25th Century Games Website25th Century Games on BlueskyObservatory and Star Gazers on KickstarterIntro, The State of 25th Century Games in 2025, and Mugs (0:00)Chad and I technically connected first through mugs, so we start off the conversation chatting about those, a game group that's been going strong for one-tenth of a decade, and how 25th is doing in ‘25.Some of that Sweet, Homegrown Localization [is that an oxymoron?] (20:39)25th Century Games has published a whole bunch of games through several different means over not too long of a history. Listening to the process, care, and relationships built through different types of publications was a treat for me!“I Invoke Ra!” (37:18)We talk about Ra, which is pretty obvious based on this chapter title, BUT Chad also discusses different approaches when it comes to handling reworking games for reprints.Furthermore, he brings up a fun fact about the number in the BGG url matching its entry in the site's database (Ra being 12). When I was adding the links to the document that tries to capture all of the games mentioned in this episode (see below), I saw that Catan was 13th–fun coincidence.Import Collections (52:32)A quick bit where Chad has to guess my most played 25th Century Game.Wrap-up Questions (1:01:29)A text on Chad's mind and things to look out for from 25th Century Games.Games Mentioned in this Episode If you like this show, liking it on whatever platform you listen to and writing a review would mean so much!

Georgian England saw London quickly growing into one of the largest cities in Europe. As the city grew, coffee houses equally gained importance in society. For a mere penny, customers could purchase a cup of coffee and gain admission to these new spaces where they could learn the news of the day and perhaps meet other local residents and discuss mutual concerns. At the same time, some of these establishments were the birthplace of a new community. They became a place where people could explore gender and sexuality among like-minded people and this place became known as a Molly House by Jo Kelly and Cole Wehrle from Wehrlegig Games with art by Rachel Ford.Read the full review here: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2025/05/24/molly-house-saturday-review/Useful LinksMolly House: https://wehrlegig.com/products/molly-houseRulebook: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/1gq7h9i9i5aeiwo2f3rpk/Molly-House-Rules-BGG.pdf?rlkey=nutkkrax4h7rf42rcfqjbyojg&e=1&dl=0Wehrlegig Games: https://wehrlegig.com/BGG listing: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/349750/molly-housePandemic review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2020/01/18/pandemic-saturday-review/Arcs review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2024/11/02/arcs-saturday-review/Oath review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2021/11/27/oath-chronicles-of-empire-and-exile-saturday-review/MusicIntro Music: Bomber (Sting) by Riot (https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/)Music: Sarabande, Suite No. 4 in D minor, arranged for strings by George Frideric Händel from Classicals.deMusic: Cinematic Trailer Music 02, Cinematic Orchestral Action Trailer by Gregor Quendel from Classicals.deMuisc: Cinematic Trailer Music 05, Cinematic Cello Arpeggio Trailer by Gregor Quendel from Classicals.deSupportIf you want to support this podcast financially, please check out the links below:Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/TabletopGamesBlogPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/tabletopgamesblogWebsite: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/support/

Episode 579: Narrative Choice or Paragraph Games Episode release date is May 21, 2025 Show Notes Meeple Nation discusses several games that include the narrative or paragraph game mechanic. Come join us at the game table and find some new and amazing games. Sponsorship Game Toppers SaltCON Intro of Meeple Nation The World's Most Okayest Podcast Web Page Links to Episodes SaltPOD: A SaltCON Podcast Bios Email us at MeepleNation@gmail.com Patreon Instagram @meeplenation Facebook Meeple Nation Facebook Group Meeple Nation Off Air X Meeple Nation Discord Meeple Nation Become a Chanameeple Meeple Nation Gaming Highlights (Highlight-Thirty) Nathan Welcome to the Moon Douglas Clans of Caledonia From the Moon Andy Return to Dark Tower Zombicide White Death Narrative Choice and Paragraph Games. The Narrative Choice or Paragraph Games mechanic puts a strong emphasis on storytelling and player agency through making decisions that directly influence the narrative's progression. Instead of relying solely on traditional game mechanics like dice rolling or resource management to drive the plot, these games present players with textual descriptions, scenarios, and choices that lead to different outcomes and further narrative branches. Think of it like a "Choose Your Own Adventure" book integrated into a board game experience. Players often read paragraphs of text that describe a situation, and then they are presented with a set of choices. Each choice directs them to a different paragraph or section, unfolding the story in a unique way based on their decisions. Here's how the mechanic typically works: Narrative Presentation: The game presents story elements through text, often in the form of cards, books, or even app-based interfaces. These descriptions set the scene, introduce characters, and present challenges. Choice Points: At key moments in the narrative, players are given distinct options on how to proceed. These choices can range from dialogue options and actions to strategic decisions that have narrative consequences. Branching Narrative: Each choice leads to a different part of the story. This might involve reading a specific paragraph number, drawing a particular card, or triggering a new event within the app. The narrative unfolds non-linearly based on the collective decisions of the players. Consequences: The choices players make often have consequences that affect the ongoing narrative. This could involve changes in character relationships, the availability of future options, the acquisition of items, or even the overall outcome of the game. Emergent Storytelling: While the core narrative is pre-written, the combination of player choices leads to a unique emergent story for each playthrough. Different groups of players, or even the same group playing again, will likely experience the narrative in a different sequence and with different outcomes.

Deep within the ruins of an ancient Sith temple, Kylo Ren stood with his unstable blade crackling, caught between admiration and resentment, as Darth Vader emerged, his presence suffocating, the air itself recoiling. Then Moff Gideon entered, while Asajj Ventress prowled the edges, twin sabres igniting, her gaze calculating. A metallic rasp followed as General Grievous stepped forward, stolen lightsabres humming in his grasp. Past, present and future - each a force of ambition, none willing to yield.
