It's awesome.Mark Besada is one of the hosts of Board Game Barrage, winner of the Golden Geek for best board game podcast of 2022 where he is also known as the "Green Tank."

Preparation is important. We very carefully do our advance research here at SVWAG, but occasionally mild errors do creep in. For this week, Mark studiously crafted notes and observations on such issues as four octave vocal ranges, Nickelodeon celebrity culture, and whether boredom of a third party constitutes necessary or sufficient conditions for breaking up with one's girlfriend. Sadly for Mark, Ariana was not the Grande under discussion this week, so he was forced to begin anew.Games Played Last Week:01:12 -Clinic Deluxe Edition (Alban Viard, AVStudioGames, 2019)05:36 -Contra: The Board Game (Adam Sadler & Brady Sadler, Blacklist Games, 2022)07:08 -Furnace (Ivan Lashin, Hobby World, 2021)08:38 -Pulsar 2849 (Vladimír Suchý, CGE, 2017)10:59 -Settlement (Oleksandr Nevskiy, IGAMES, 2021)12:43 -Race for the Galaxy (Thomas Lehmann, Rio Grande Games, 2007)16:23 -Décorum (Harry Mackin, Charlie Mackin, & Drew Tenenbaum, Floodgate Games, 2022)19:49 -Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition (Sydney Engelstein, Jacob Fryxelius, & Nick Little, Stronghold Games, 2021)23:34 -Factory 42 (Timo Multamäki, Dragon Dawn Productions, 2021)31:05 -Nidavellir: Thingvellir (Serge Laget, GRRRE Games, 2020)33:31 -Dune: Imperium--Rise of Ix (Paul Dennen, Dire Wolf, 2022)News (and why it doesn't matter):37:19 Rise & Fall by Christophe Boelinger and Ludically launching on Kickstarter in July37:54 Doomrock Ultimate on Gamefound38:46 Castles by the Sea on Kickstarter39:41 Robotech Macross DOG FIGHT follow-up: caveat emptor, perhaps best to wait and see41:05 Mark on Board Game Barrage this Thursday, April 2841:45 Check out our Patreon: www.patreon.com/svwag, new exclusive show BLOAT42:30 Upcoming Omnibus questions episode!

In the 14th Century B.C.E., the pharaoh Akhenaten attempted to shift Egypt into monotheism centered on the cult of the god Aten. Apparently there's some who argue it was possibly instead henotheism, whereby many gods are acknowledged but one is elevated above the others--a claim advanced about many ostensibly mono- or polytheistic religions, even some practised today--but at any rate is was exceptionally controversial. By the time his son Tutankhaten became pharaoh, the cult of Aten was suppressed, and the ascendancy of the god Amun was restored in a polytheistic pantheon. Hence the new pharaoh's name was changed from Tutankhaten to Tutankhamun.

Kellen Laker, Red Tank from the popular podcast Board Game Barrage, joins Christina and Shoe to discuss Innovation and...fine, some games other than Innovation, too. Plus, we're old hands at gaming these days, so what do we try to keep in mind when introducing brand spanking newbies to tabletop games? And what stands out to us as the best marketing we've seen in the board game biz? Topics this week: Christina (host): Which games do you consider your favorite "Forever Games"? Kellen (guest): Maintaining perspective when introducing new gamers to the hobby Shoe (producer): What are some examples of the coolest game marketing you've seen?

All right, we need to talk about Sokka. Another staple of kid's shows is often The Annoying One. I don't know why, but they're often there. Steven Universe had Ronaldo, but they knew to use him sparingly. Sokka is so aggressively obnoxious in the first two episodes it is a miracle anyone makes it to episode three. He could have just been the complainer, but additionally his monumental and gratuitous misogyny is so bad that one wonders what Suki (an awesome character) ever saw in him. Sure, he gets better, but always in my mind the Early Days Sokka looms over the show like some terrible shadow.00:59 AYURIS: On Mars (Vital Lacerda, Eagle-Gryphon Games, 2020)Games Played Last Week:02:33 -Cryo (Tom Jolly & Luke Laurie, Z-Man Games, 2021)07:22 -Red Outpost (Raman Hryoryk, Lifestyle Boargames Ltd, 2019)11:38 -Cantaloop: Book 1--Breaking into Prison (Friendemann Findeisen & Grzegorz Kobiela, Lookout Games, 2020)15:36 -Brass: Birmingham (Gavan Brown, Matt Tolman, & Martin Wallace, Roxley, 2018)19:14 -Clever Cubed (Wolfgang Warsch, Schmidt Spiele, 2020)21:09 -Sleeping Gods (Ryan Laukat, Red Raven Games, 2021)23:38 -PARKS (Henry Audubon, Keymaster Games, 2019)27:16 -Shards of Infinity: Into the Horizon (Gary Arant, Justin Gary, Ryan Sutherland, Jared Saramago, Mataio Wilson, & Jason Zila, Stone Blade Entertainment, 2021)29:19 -Pickomino Deluxe (Reiner Knizia, Zoch Verlag, 2018)31:53 -Witchstone (Martino Chiacchiera & Reiner Knizia, R&R Games, 2021)34:48 -Empire of the Stars (Adam West, CrossCut Games, 2021)40:15 -The Grimm Masquerade (Tim Eisner, Ben Eisner, & James Hudson, Druid City Games, 2019)News (and why it doesn't matter):45:53 Fundraiser on Twitch for Food Banks Canada on October 2nd at 3 PM EST.Guests: No Pun Included, Board Game Barrage, the SVWAG crew!

All of your burning questions shall be addressed! Why is there something rather than nothing? Quid est veritas? War, huh! What is it good for? Why do birds suddenly appear every time a Knizia game is near? Rest assured that the topics covered are vast--Macross, objectivism, fictional Thai kick boxers, and so much more.

Oh Dear. That header is really small isn't it? Neilan Naicker from my 15th favourite tabletop podcast Boardgame Barrage joins me to not talk about tabletop. We talk about my favourite videogame, The Last of Us, which Neilan was involved in. Then we mention tabletop for a little bit, in the form of being jealous of Paula Deming and Matthew Jude because they are awesome, and then we chat about one question. That's about it. But we had fun.

Board Game Barrage, Board Game Barrage, It's a podcast that you can't disparage, They all fight like brothers, But you can't have one without the.. other.. Try, Try, Try, to separate them, There's no collusion, They give themselves little coloured tanks. So there's no confusion... Mark, Neilan and Kalen, Mark, Neilan and Kalen, Watch them take a walk so they can calm em.. Just don't tell them the other.. Pronouncation of their podcast actually is probably more correct than the way they insist on doing it..

One year, baby! We did it. It's our first anniversary, and we're celebrating by ... putting out an episode of the podcast. We got a couple of reader questions that we thought would be especially pertinent for this occasion, as we look back on the impact Board Game Barrage has had on us. Before we pop the champagne, we talk about The Quacks of Quedlinburg, Forum Trajanum, and Narabi. 04:37 - The Quacks of Quedlinburg 08:57 - Forum Trajanum 15:08 - Narabi 21:00 - How has Board Game Barrage impacted us? 32:08 - Do review copies make us less impartial? 33:45 - Hyperspace 35:24 - Shouldn't Mark be the Red Tank? 39:08 - Guest reviews!
How do you meet other board game enthusiasts? Just loving and owning board games isn't enough if you don't have anyone to play them with! It's not always easy to turn your friends into board gamers, so what are your other options? Well, sit back, as we cast our minds far, far back into the past, when the Board Game Barrage trio was just three separate unos. This is where it all began. Before we gather round the campfire, we talk about Crypt, Fool's Gold, and War Chest. 01:01 - Crypt 03:22 - Coloretto 05:17 - Fool's Gold 08:23 - War Chest 13:47 - Meeting Board Gamers 26:23 - Skull 40:40 - Twilight Imperium
