Episode 576: Network or Route Building Games Episode release date is April 30, 2025 Show Notes This week we kick off our discussion of games that involve network building. The "network building mechanic" refers to the gameplay element where players construct and expand interconnected systems, often representing transportation, communication, and resource distribution. It's about establishing links and leveraging those connections for strategic advantage. Some of the main concepts of network and route building include: Connectivity: The fundamental element of establishing links between nodes, such as locations, cities, or points of interest. These links from a network. Expansion: Players progressively expand their network, reaching new destinations and making further connections. Expansion is often tied to resource management, technology advancement, or through fulfilling objectives. Strategic advantage: A well-developed network provides: efficient resource movement, faster travel or delivery, control over locations, increased scoring opportunities, and influence over other game elements. Player interdependence: Networks can create interdependence between players, either through competition for resources and routes or through cooperative efforts. Come join us at the game table where we are going to talk about networking games, and I bet it includes more than train games.   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   Sponsorship Game Toppers  SaltCON Meeple Nation Gaming Highlights (Highlight-Thirty) Nathan Clans of Caledonia Douglas Aqua: Biodiversity in the Oceans Andy That Escalated Quickly Network or Route Building Games Ticket to Ride: 10th Anniversary Ticket to Ride: Europe - 15th Anniversary Ticket to Ride: London Ticket to Ride: New York Transamerica Tsuro Carcassonne Metro Street Car Fairy Trails Thurn and Taxes On Tour Iwari Web of Power Airlines Europe Terminus Revive Next Station: London, Tokyo, Paris Get on Board: Paris & Roma, New York and London Metorunner Brass Burmingham Hansa Teutonica: Big Box Nucleum Dice Hospital: ER - Emergency Roll Tokyo Highway Maglev Metro   Games not Mentioned Douglas Smartphone Land vs Sea Catan Cloud City Andy Railways of the World Near and Far Catan Kingdom Builder Android Catan: Junior Aeroplanes: Aviation Ascendant Nathan Concordia Venus Maglev Metro Dinosaur Island: Rawr ‘n Write Takenoko Catan Terra Nova Maharaja: The Game of Palaces Building in India Free Ride Wormholes Saboteur 2 Dice Manor Sanora Globetrotting Tucana Builders The Settlers of the Stone Age Spy Connection Falconry

Jaume Segalés habla de "The White Castle" de la editorial Devir y la sesión de cine está dedicada a Rachel y el forastero."The White Castle" de la editorial Devir En numerosas ocasiones hemos hablado del sector editorial, entrevistado a escritores, exponiendo los detalles de las ferias… Pero hay un ámbito de este mundo generalmente menos conocido: el de los juegos de mesa. Vamos a hablar de ello porque una pareja madrileña ha creado recientemente uno de los mejores del mundo. Se trata de "The White Castle", el primer juego de mesa español en entrar en la selección de los 100 mejores juegos de la historia en la plataforma BoardGameGeek, la más influyente y respetada en la comunidad global de juegos de mesa. Editado y publicado por la editorial Devir, célebre por publicar absolutos éxitos como "Catan" o "Carcassonne", ha sido desarrollado conjuntamente por el tándem de creadores madrileños, Isra C. y Shei S. "The White Castle" es un juego de tipo eurogame en el que los jugadores controlan un clan en un majestuoso castillo con una ambientación basada en el Japón feudal. Con mecánicas de gestión de recursos, colocación de trabajadores y dados, el juego ofrece una experiencia estratégica por rondas en las que tomar decisiones clave en diversas zonas. Además, ha ganado otros galardones internacionales como el Mejor Juego Experto en los prestigiosos premios Guldbrikken, en Dinamarca, o el Meeples Choice 2023, un reconocimiento global otorgado por jugadores y entusiastas de todo el mundo. Entrevistamos a Benja Amorín, director de comunicación del Grupo DEVIR. Sección de cine clásico "Es sesión continua" Antolín de la Torre hoy nos habla sobre Rachel y el forastero. Película romántica estadounidense de 1948, dirigida por Norman Foster y protagonizada por Loretta Young, William Holden, Robert Mitchum, Gary Gray y Tom Tully. Un granjero viudo contrata a una sirviente como su nueva esposa, pero la llegada de su viejo amigo amenaza su floreciente relación.

Episode 574: Games that use movement points Episode release date is April 2, 2025   Show Notes   This week we are doing a one episode discussion of games that use movement points as a movement. What are movement points you ask? Well, movement points regulate how far a player can move their pieces during the game. For example, players are given a specific number of "points" that can be spent to move game pieces. Different spaces or terrains on the game board may cost varying amounts of movement points to enter. Players may receive a set number of movement points each turn that can be spread across multiple pieces. Those points could fluctuate depending on card draws or dice rolls.   Sometimes movement points can be part of a larger pool of actions, and movement can be part of or one of those actions.   In short, movement points provide a structured way to manage in game movement while adding a tactical element to gameplay.   So let's make it a point to move to the game table and discuss some 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   Meeple Nation Highlights (Highlight-Thirty) Nathan Volunteer Group Flip 7 Douglas Outlive Andy Orléans   Games that use movement points Nathan Memoir ‘44 Clank!: A Deck-Building Adventure Game Maracaibo Specter Ops Tiny Epic Pirates The Hunger Near and Far Free Ride Secrets of the Lost Station Glory Island Concordia Concordia Venus Andy Descent: Journeys in the Dark (Second Edition) Clank!: A Deck-Building Adventure Game Maracaibo Near and Far Heroes of Might and Magic III: The Board Game Hyperborea Warrior Night Empire Builder Bardwood Grove Vanishing Planet Tiny Epic Pirates   Douglas Scythe War of the Ring: Second Edition Memoir ‘44 Clank!: A Deck-Building Adventure Game Dinosaur World Euthia: Torment of Resurrection - Fierce Powers / Crawling Shadows Endless Winter: River & Rafts    Telanislyon Carnegie has some interesting management choices in activating departments to move workers around for various economic functions. Carnegie is definitely a good game, I think it's tough to outcompete some of the newer ones though. It was a popular blip for a sec, then kinda floated down to the lower mid of bgg pack. It's still a good game, solid 7. Maracaibo would also have a choice of action to move your ship a certain distance also for triggering spaces. Not sure if that's totally true movement points, but fairly close The only other ones I can even think of would be troop movement for war games, like War of the Ring/for Arrakis or Axis & Allies. War of the Ring is awesome! Great 2p strategy game. War for Arrakis, same designer, basically the truncated version of War of the Ring in Dune!

Just a routine reading of Board Game Geek put me onto the release of today's focus game, King of Tokyo: Duel. There was a banner ad on the homepage. From there, a quick click over to my local game shop webpage allowed me to preorder the game. I did not need any more information. It was King of Tokyo. It was designed by Richard Garfield. It was two-player.Upon further inspection, it appeared to be a tug of war style game. It had the established characters. Well, my copy arrived. I went to get it. Edward and I sat down to play it.King of Tokyo Duel sets you and your opponent in a mano a mano battle over Tokyo. As with the original game, there are multiple ways to win: knock the other monster out,  get both the star and building markers into your spotlight zone, or one of the markers reaches the last space on your side of the board.Directing people to the get the games tab

In this interview, fun isn't actually competing, but different types of fun and the way they interact with each other are being examined. As a little thought experiment, which games pop into your head when you think about the thrill of danger? Carl Robinson, designer of the hit game Kelp: Shark vs. Octopus, joins the show to discuss something that has been on his mind for quite some time, and that's the way fun is discussed when examining board games. As a designer of a game that is a whole lot of fun, Carl has some great insights into this matter. And the discussion is well… it's just fun. Enjoy!Check out Carl's work on BoardGameGeek and reflections on Bluesky.Introductory Questions (0:00)Carl's early experiences with board games.Introduction to this Episode's Structure (12:38)And why Carl has been thinking about this topic.Here is the trimmed up sheet with the links and everything for all of the game's Carl mentioned.

Claire and Tod discuss HP Lovecraft's "The White Ship," first published in 1919 in The United Amateur. What better way to celebrate ☘️ St. Patrick's Day ☘️ than talking about Lord Dunsany at some length! Also, Claire, a sophisticated and educated lady of Irish decent, learns what a shillelagh is in this episode, so that's a bit of St. Patty's fun!Links for you:Lord Samuel's Lovecraft Metal Spotify PlaylistTod's Dreams and Nightmares Apple Music PlaylistCheck in on Fantasy Flight's Dark Side of the Moon at Board Game Geek, but it's out of print so you'll probably have to go to eBay to find itA short article about Lovecraft and Lord DunsanyA free version of Idle Days on the River Yann by Lord DunsanyDel Rey's Dream Cycle collection, which you can of course read for free at https://hplovecraft.comWeirdly, I don't think we swear at all in this episode, but I'll mark it explicit just to be on the safe side.Oh, and I spent a fair amount of time learning about The White Ship Disaster at Wikipedia, and then went down a rabbit hole learning about Empress Matilda and The Anarchy, but alas, it didn't make it into the show.

Good morning and happy Friday Cabalists! Sorry the episodes late but Jamie has been sick as a dog all week long but the show is finally here.

I'm not sure why you'd make a hall of fame that's not also a sidewalk, but that's exactly what BoardGameGeek have gone and done - they've curated 25 games into their hall of fame, and we're here to judge them for their choices. It's weird that they didn't come to us first, honestly.

Board Boys are playing yet another game about windmills (turbines I guess) on this episode, Pampero from Julian Pombo. Uruguay has all this wind evidently, each player will be trying to exploit that. The winner is the player who can harness the most wimpy, clean wind energy and become the king of hippies. 0:00 Intro, E.V.A. - Jean Jacques Perrey 8:30 Sundae Split 11:15 Isle of Cats: Duel 15:00 Little Alchemists again: Cam explains soup better than anyone ever, ever 20:30 Ito 22:00 Fellowship of the Ring: Trick-taking Game 25:45 Pampero: Overview 28:45 The Windmills of your Mind - Dusty Springfield 32:15 Pampero: Review 1:01:00 Pampero: Verdict 1:08:00 Board Boys Bump: Voidfall 1:14:30 Thank You, Patrons 1:15:00 Against the Wind - Bog Seger & The Silver Bullet Band

A close second place option for the episode title was “Meeplekeeper's Palace.”Also, there's a little bit of a note in the episodes after the credits (kind of as an epilogue). In the past, I've done a couple prologue/pre-show notes; if necessary, I'd do them again. This particular note makes more sense at the end, so make sure you're tuned in until the “end end.”ANYWAY, Candice Harris joins the show for a super special thirty-third episode! Candice is a lifelong musician and took a similar proclivity of deep-diving things she's passionate about to board games, where she's a media creator for BoardGameGeek. The list of things she doesn't do there would be shorter than what she does, but a few of her contributions include hosting the BoardGameGeek Podcast, Cardboard Creations, TeaForge, The Quad, and probably something else I'm missing. Candice also writes, creates, and contributes in many other capacities, with recent work on BGG's 25th Anniversary Hall of Fame Inductees (click here for video!).The confluence of those interests is what this episode is about, and excitingly Candice has designed a board game, Rivals of Rock, coming to crowdfunding later this year (the game came up organically within some of the topics several times with fun and insightful stories from Candice, but I had a section with a few more questions

On this episode of On Board Games, Erik is joined by Shawn Hoult of Allies or Enemies to talk about games (and other things) they've played including: Western Legends Return to Dark Tower Bussen Stop Cabanga Quacks of Quedlinberg In the Footsteps of Darwin and Marie Curie Arydia   You can get a discount on Zencastr.com using this link.
