DESCRIPTION: This week, Erin and Ryan go into detail on a few of the games they've had the pleasure of trying out, chat about some Gen Con plans, and then pivot into a discussion about the significance - or lack thereof - to a person's To Be Played game list (often called their pile of shame). Turns out it's only as significant as you want it to be. Who knew? GUESTS: None RECENTLY PLAYED GAMES - (04:51): Caverna: Cave vs Cave by Mayfair Games (BGG Link) Sidereal Confluence by WizKids (BGG Link) Nemo's War by Victory Point Games (BGG Link) Lisboa by Eagle-Gryphon Games (BGG Link) QUICK TOPICS – (26:27): We're doing a Gen Con panel!

(If you can't make it, feel free to still leave a question you'd like asked and we can see if we can get it answered!) We announce the title of the next Board Game Club! Reflecting a cruel case of tragic irony, we briefly talk about the recent fire affecting the European backer copies of Lisboa. Also, unboxing videos? FEATURED TOPIC - (30:07): One of the most frequent conversations in gaming (or reading) is how to manage the list of titles that you haven’t played yet. Whether referred to as a bucket list, a to be played list, or as it's often called, your pile of shame, we parse out what that means - or doesn't - to your gaming experience overall. In this we cover: Game play shaming on both sides of the equation. Pushing back on the idea that such lists somehow depict a sign of your dedication to the hobby. One in, one out policies Time-delayed policies Austerity Pledges Logging Plays Spreadsheets And more! PLUGS - (55:25): We’re raffling off a copy of Unlock to a lucky Patreon backer.

Episode 127: This Funny Dude From Poland Length: 1:17:11 Show Links: RSS | iTunes | Stitcher | Download Episode Welcome back to Vox Republica, the Cardboard Republic Podcast! We post new episodes every other Thursday, with each episode being about 45 minutes long. Vox Republica is proudly supported by our Patreon. Consider contributing today! DESCRIPTION: This week we return from our fall mini-break refreshed and ready to go. We start off by chatting about a small handful of the many games played recently, chat about our recent past and future convention plans, and then sit down with Ignacy Trzewiczek, head of Portal Games, to talk about the processes he goes through when designing games. GUESTS: Ignacy Trzewiczek RECENTLY PLAYED GAMES - (01:49): Clank! by Renegade Game Studios & Dire Wolf Digital Inis by Asmodee Editions / Matagot The Guardians: Explore by Reihon Games Roll Player by Thunderworks Games QUICK TOPICS - (26:06): We chat about the next Granite Game Summit in a few weeks - Halloween Edition. If you're in the area, consider coming on down! Ryan explains The Pantheon of Meeples. Oh, and there's our first meeting of Board Game Club! We recap some of the highlights from the 2016 Boston Festival of Indie Games, including memorable games and our presentation of one of the Figgie awards. FEATURED TOPIC - (38:32): With a dozen or so memorable, well-received games under its belt and a self-assured designer at the helm, it's crazy to think that Portal Games is less than a decade old. The biggest reason for their success rests with the fundamental design philosophy of Ignacy Trzewiczek that board games should be an experience when played. He's stated numerous times in public and on his own blog the importance of this focus in everything they create. Today we sit down with him to go into that idea in more detail, include areas like: How important Robinson Crusoe was to Portal's initial success and instant reputation. Why theme for him always comes before mechanics. And where that philosophy came from The purpose of his Board Games That Tell Stories blog Both his first and second books emerged from it How his background in GMing RPGs influenced First Martians Why he keeps a journal on most games he play What his two most influential games are on his design process PLUGS - (1:16:16): To celebrate Ignacy's participation and the Halloween season, we're raffling off a copy of Tides of Madness to a lucky Patreon backer.
