The escape pod rattles violently as it tears through the atmosphere, before the noise suddenly fades away. A rough landing throws you against the restraints, leaving only silence until the hatch finally creaks open and fresh air rushes in with a long hiss. After you take off your helmet, you can smell unfamiliar scents. As you climb out of the pod, you can see a landscape unlike anything you have ever seen before. There are giant mountains that disappear into the clouds, strange plants that sway gently in the breeze, and countless mysteries that are waiting to be uncovered. You notice that you crashed high on a lonely hill, giving you a really good Vantage by Jamey Stegmaier from Stonemaier Games with art by Valentina Filic, Sören Meding and Emilien Rotival.Read the full review here: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2026/07/18/vantage-saturday-review/Useful LinksVantage: https://stonemaiergames.com/games/vantage/Rulebook: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/ulyfze69rb24tsgip7mn7/AGooUTmI8qBNqc5nh36BJkY/Vantage/Vantage_Rulebook_r26_web.pdf?rlkey=0ejidzd7lktoa5hyrbkmy9xse&st=jtwsdpd8&dl=0Rules video: https://youtu.be/xa476iCNIDk?si=Ejg48iUpS3G9-q4kStonemaier Games: https://stonemaiergames.com/BGG listing: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/420033/vantageMusicIntro Music: Bomber (Sting) by Riot (https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/)Sound Effects: ZapSplat (https://www.zapsplat.com/)Music: Synthie IntroProduced by Sascha EndeLink: https://ende.app/en/song/3154-synthie-introMusic: Supernatural - BackroomsProduced by Sascha EndeLink: https://ende.app/en/song/13776-supernatural-backroomsMusic: Low Energy Tension Vol. 6Produced by Sascha EndeLink: https://ende.app/en/song/13766-low-energy-tension-vol-6SupportIf 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/

Cultismo tutto. Continua l'acclamata serie “matti e disperatissimi”; una serie ormai a livelli di popolarità che sfiorano i tempi d'oro di produzioni televisive di culto come “copertoni in fiamme” e “ricrescita amica”. Non mi dilungo perché non voglio spargere ulteriore zucchero su questa voluttuosa meringa di episodio, nella quale perlatro state per affondare bei vostri bei dentoni. Voi tre/quattro che non avete ancora abbandonato il podcast dopo la notizia dell'auto-inflitto periodo di pausa del DucaConte, s'intende. Comunque, dai, Kingdome Come Deliverance è un titolo in preorder caldo come la mia auto al sole dopo che esco dall'ufficio in ‘sti giorni, mentre Take Time è un gioco che nel 2026 ha collezionato più nomination che Ale ore di sonno durante Play. Per cui, non mi resta che augurarvi…Buona 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.
The early morning mist hangs beneath a canopy of dark green waxy leaves, while distant calls echo through the jungle from animals who have lost their way. You're following their footprints until you eventually glimpse a tail disappearing into the undergrowth. Working together, you manage to rescue one animal after another, but the falling grains of sand remind you that time is against you. So off you go deeper into the Grab Bag: Jungle by Rob M Harper and Mike Harrison-Wood from Gibsons with art by Lauren Heywood-Law.Read the full review here: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2026/07/11/grab-bag-jungle-saturday-review/Useful LinksGrab Bag: Jungle: https://gibsonsgames.co.uk/products/grab-bag-jungleGibsons: https://gibsonsgames.co.uk/BGG listing: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/443051/grab-bag-jungleMusicIntro Music: Bomber (Sting) by Riot (https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/)Sound effects: bbc.co.uk – © copyright 2026 BBCSupportIf 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/
Cultismo tutto. Episodio della famosa serie “matti e disperatissimi estivi”, nella quale, con pochi mezzi, pochi uomini, molta umiltà e tanta minerale non gassata e cibi genuini anche questa settimana portiamo a casa la pagnotta e vi regaliamo un'oretta di giochi e avventure. D'altra parte, il Duca è nel suo retreat di lusso sui Carpazi (qualunque cosa voglia dire) e Jack debole ed è fuggito al MARE - una vera scelta da maggioranza silenziosa - poco conforme a colui che si erge come personaggio hipster sempre a caccia dell'idea originale. Il cosiddetto “presentatore”. MAH. Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/dunwich-buyers-club--2814177/support.

Episode 98: Aaron B. (Game Enthus) - The Remaster's Era - Top 5 Games We Like to Teach - Lunch Time Gaming & Getting RecognizedHey everyone! I'm excited to introduce Aaron, also known as Game Enthus on social media, who's joining me to chat about all those games that are getting remastered, remade, updated with a second edition, brought back, or republished with some tweaks. We're gonna try to nail down what exactly defines the “Remaster's Era” of tabletop gaming. Then, we'll share our top 5 favorite games to teach others. We'll wrap up with some feel-good stories about gaming with coworkers during lunch and those moments when we get recognized. Oh, and we almost forgot to mention—we usually team up to teach a game on the Learn and Play schedule at PAX Unplugged. So, if you're heading there, come join us for a fun game!00:00:00 Intro00:00:54 Get to know Aaron B.00:06:08 The Remasters Era in Board Games00:33:06 Top 5 Games we Enjoy Teaching00:35:51 Hues and Cues00:39:22 River of Gold00:41:54 Panda Royale00:45:20 Wok and Roll00:47:30 So Clover!00:50:02 Duck and Cover00:53:13 Faraway00:56:36 CitiesCities USA01:00:10 Green Team WinsGreen Team Wins Again01:03:28 Seti: Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Kanban EVSweet Lands01:08:00 Honorable Mentions01:08:05 Chicken Fried Dice01:10:55 Takenoko01:12:33 Moments of Positivity in Gaming01:16:52 Where can you find Aaron?Game Enthus on LintreeGame Enthus Podcast WebsiteAaron's Youtube Channel - @GameEnthusThe Five By Podcast Website / BGG Listing(Please note that these time stamps might not be accurate due to the use of dynamic ads.)We hope you will come join us for fun games with all the fun people at BGG.CON 2026. https://boardgamegeek.com/bggcon or https://tabletop.events/conventions/bgg.con-2026Web: https://boardgamegeek.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@boardgamegeekTwitter: https://twitter.com/BoardGameGeekEmail: podcast@boardgamegeek.com
Cultismo tutto. Dei primi 5 minuti di questo episodio, declino ogni responsabilità. Però, per tutti i supporter di un modalità espressiva nonsense, di un nuovo futurismo fatto di metafore impossibili, panegirici nauseanti e chaos imperante, un orrendo ibrido tra Infinte Jest e Finnegan's Wake, a voi tutti dico: benvenuti nel vostro nuovo podcast preferito. L'episodio ritorna sui binari di una sorta di realtà condivisa grazie soprattutto al Dottor Bolivia, folgorato sulla via di Twilight Sword, prosegue con il Duca che si scioglie gli occhi dentro Vampire Crawlers e infine chiusura di classe con Ale e un gioco che promette di sfondare le porte della vostra decrepita visione di ciò che si può e non si può fare con un gioco da tavolo. Ecco a voi Vroom. Buona 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.
A little rabbit peeked cautiously over the edge of a vegetable patch, before it hopped inside and helped itself to a crunchy carrot. Soon, another rabbit joined in, nibbling happily on a radish, while a third disappeared behind broad broccoli leaves, and a fourth emerged triumphantly with an aubergine. Soon enough, mushrooms vanished as well, leaving only tiny paw prints behind. In less than a minute, the whole patch was filled with Rascally Rabbits by Ta-Te Wu from Sunrise Tornado Game Studio with art by TuziNeko.Read the full review here: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2026/06/27/rascally-rabbits-saturday-review/Useful LinksRascally Rabbits: https://www.sunrisetornado.com/rascally-rabbitsRules video: https://youtu.be/PlLZ8-VD9ok?si=ihbIHhOvg3bjd57WSunrise Tornado Game Studio: https://www.sunrisetornado.com/BGG listing: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/447276/rascally-rabbitsMusicIntro Music: Bomber (Sting) by Riot (https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/)Music: Channel Intro 28Produced by Sascha EndeLink: https://ende.app/en/song/12540-channel-intro-28Music: Nature 14 [nature documentary series]Produced by Sascha EndeLink: https://ende.app/en/song/13343-nature-14-nature-documentary-seriesMusic: Madeira: The Little Houses of SantanaProduced by Sascha EndeLink: https://ende.app/en/song/13712-madeira-the-little-houses-of-santanaMusic: Nature 13 [nature documentary series]Produced by Sascha EndeLink: https://ende.app/en/song/13342-nature-13-nature-documentary-seriesSupportIf 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/
Cultismo tutto. Banda e Jack stretti in trincea, con il Duca fuori combattimento per i ben noti motivi logistici e Ale impegnato in una VEZZOSA vacanza. Chi poteva rimanere a tenere alto l'amor di patria se non i mozzi del Cap e i mezzadri del Duca? È la settimana della bassa manovalanza, delle mani sporche, degli occhi resi rossi dai fumi della sala macchine, dell'olio di gomito e dell'umiltà. Naturalmente in due la situa è un po' meno animata, ma ci si diverte un sacco e c'è grande ritmo. I giochi di questo episodio, poi, sono belli frizzantini, freschi, prodotti semplici, per il popolo. Giochi che piacciono alle casalinghe di Voghera come al cultista corrotto che vive nello scantinato a vostra insaputa. Insomma: non importa quante falangi vi siano rimaste, il nostro motto è sempre lo stesso:Buona 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.

The saloon doors suddenly burst open behind you as your boots skid across the dusty wooden boards of the sidewalk. A split-second later, gunfire cracks through the afternoon air, the bullet ricocheting off a pail of water, sending startled townsfolk diving for cover. Diving behind an old barrel offers you a moment of shelter, although the sound of heavy footsteps suggests your pursuer is closing in on you. Then, glass shatters somewhere near the jail, followed by the sharp whistle of a bullet passing far too close for comfort. A grin spreads across your face as you raise your revolver and prepare to return fire. Well, that's what you get when you arrive in Rattlesnake by Michael Hardacre from Osprey Games with art by Roland MacDonald.Read the full review here: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2026/06/20/rattlesnake-saturday-review/Useful LinksRattlesnake: https://www.ospreypublishing.com/uk/rattlesnake-9781472871763/Rulebook: https://boardgamegeek.com/filepage/321691/rattlesnake-rulebookOsprey Games: https://www.ospreypublishing.com/uk/osprey-games/BGG listing: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/453281/rattlesnakeMusicIntro Music: Bomber (Sting) by Riot (https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/)Sound Effects: ZapSplat (https://www.zapsplat.com/)Sound effects: bbc.co.uk – © copyright 2026 BBCMusic: Saloon dance [Western Series]Produced by Sascha EndeLink: https://ende.app/en/song/12904-saloon-dance-western-seriesMusic: Western Intro 2Produced by Sascha EndeLink: https://ende.app/en/song/13631-western-intro-2SupportIf 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/

Cultismo tutto. Lo sentite il calore del vezzoso sole mentre vi frigge la pelle? Percepite il tocco malato della bella stagione, mentre tutto si prepara a marcire nuovamente. La falsa promessa della resurrezione. Come se delle falangi potessero ricrescere, come se la frutta matura non diventasse macilenta dopo quelli che sembrano sempre pochi istanti. Così è la vita, senza DucaConte: decadimento. Poi la settimana prossima pure il Cap se ne va a zonzo per la penisola e abbandona l'antro per le spiagge assolate. Debole, certo.

Electric-blue leg warmers stretched over striped socks, sequins sparkling beneath a giant mirror ball, while clouds of hairspray drifted through the air. Synth-pop booms from oversized speakers as skaters practise one last spin, one last shuffle, one last gravity-defying move before the judges arrive. It's November 1983, and the biggest competition of the year is about to begin. Jam skaters from around the world have gathered beneath the glittering lights, hoping their best moves will earn them the championship crown.

A lot of past guests have mentioned Elizabeth Hargrave's Wingspan as an answer to a question. Whether as the current game, 60 minute game, or just in passing, there is no denying Wingspan's impact on the industry since its debut in 2019. It was nominated for, and won, lots of awards that year and in 2020. It has had four expansions so far with a fifth in the distant queue according to the Stonemeir emails.Its deeper impact came in 2024 with the release of Wyrmspan, a reimaging, or reimplementation, of Wingspan, by Connie Vogelman with additional development by Hargrave. In this version, dragons replace the birds. Wyrmspan has an expansion as well.Then, last year, a third game entered the Span world, Finspan, and that game is the focus of this episode. Finspan was designed by David Gordon and Michael O'Connell. In this rendition, the birds and dragons have been replaced with fish. Each of the games in the Span world have varied the mechanics of the original.In Finspan, you are, according to the BGG page, a marine researcher seeking to observe aquatic life. You place fish in one of three zones, in one of three tracks, to dive down and observe. The marine researcher with the most points at the end of four weeks (or rounds) is the winner.Gather your fellow divers, and let's take a look at the Rule Clarity for Finspan.
In Episode 152 of the WiscoDice podcast, “Rolling for Relaxation,” the crew settles in for a cozy conversation all about the growing world of cozy tabletop games. From charming storytelling adventures to low-stress board games perfect for winding down after a long day, we explore what makes a game feel truly “cozy.” Join us as we share some of our favorite comfort games, discuss the appeal of peaceful gaming experiences, and talk about why cozy games continue to carve out an important place in the tabletop hobby. You can likely pick up any of these games at your local game store. Of course, support your local game store.

Designers don't like it when players criticise their board game, and the response often is that the game was intentionally designed that way. Players complain that a strategy feels unfair, a mechanism is frustrating, or a game simply isn't very clear. Designers reply that that just misses the point. Similar disagreements exist in films, novels, and art, yet board games seem to have them more often, and they are often more personal. Part of the reason may be that board games are not passive experiences. Players are not simply watching events unfold, but instead are interpreting rules and shaping the experience themselves every time the game hits the table.Read the full article here: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2026/05/26/intentional-experience-designer-intent-and-player-experience-topic-discussion/Useful LinksDune review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2020/02/08/dune-saturday-review/BGG article The Design Process by Gerry Paquette: https://boardgamegeek.com/blog/550/blogpost/2529/the-design-processWhat is Player Experience?: https://bg-px.com/what-is-player-experience/UX in board game design by Jason Kogan: https://uxdesign.cc/ux-in-board-game-design-97bfcdb1d581Perception vs Reality in Game Design by Joseph Z Chen: https://fantastic-factories.medium.com/perception-vs-reality-in-game-design-67181c0e6b0eMusicIntro Music: Bomber (Sting) by Riot (https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/)Music: "Inspirational Flight", "Documentary Soundtrack" and "Success" by AShamaluevMusic.Website: https://www.ashamaluevmusic.comSupportIf 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/(Photo by Daman IAm on Unsplash)

Episode 265- Euro Games "Euro" has been used as a descriptor for decades and it is inarguable that its meaning has changed over time. On this episode, the hosts try to hash out what the word means today and how that differs from the "old school" design philosophy. Also, the episode ends with an unhinged exploration of what games in the BGG top 100 could conceivably be classified as Euros. (also just a warning, Pete's dog wouldn't shut up during the recording of this) Timestamps 3:00- defining Euros 12:45- modern vs old school 55:00- categorizing the BGG top 100 Preplanners Next week we are doing a deep dive on Bus!

The humidity clings to your skin as neon reflections shimmer across rain-slick streets. The city is strangely alive with quiet ambition and louder dreams. Towering skylines loom above bustling districts, each corner a promise of profit, each landmark a prize waiting to be claimed. Deals are struck with uneasy confidence, plans unfold behind knowing smiles, and every move carries the weight of opportunity. In this restless urban theatre, only the sharpest minds will rise above the crowd.

Episode 80 - who'da thunk it? Thank you so much for sticking with us over (gulp) almost eight years of our nonsense. (Don't do the math - lots of two-part episodes have ruined that.) This month, we take a deep dive into the game designs of Antoine Bauza, a talented designer with an eclectic repertoire that ranges from a few all-time classics (including one that's currently in the BGG top 20) to some lighter games to some that the Ascent crew are...let's say "divided on the merits of." (By which we mean "Brian likes this game and no one else does.") How many game designers have released two Spiel des Jahres-winning games in one year? (Hint: this episode is about one of them.) Joe says "I love the bejeezus out of this game." We have to talk about Conan without Jayson. Brian still woefully misunderstands Attack on Titan. What's your favorite Bauza title? What other game developers do we need to dive deep on? Come visit our Discord server to chat with us and other like-minded game nerds! As always, thank you for listening. Please consider writing us an iTunes review if you like what you hear! We'd also love to have you visit our website and let us know what kinds of games we should discuss next.

A pair of mirrored birds lean towards one another, their colours bright, but soft. If you look closely, you can see that their bodies are forming a heart. Nearby, Kueh, delicate sweets, sit arranged with care. Judging by their colours and shapes, they promise wonderful flavours.
