Atmosphere in board games is one of those things that is felt. It is not just about how a game looks or sounds, nor simply the story it tells. Instead, atmosphere is the subtle, almost elusive quality that emerges from the right mixture of art and illustrations, sound, gameplay and a player's imagination. It is what remains with us when all the noise fades and we are left with a sense of immersion and feeling unique to that game world. In this article, I want to explore what atmosphere means in board games and how it can be crafted.Read the full topic discussion article here: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2025/07/29/atmospheric-anxiety-how-board-games-create-tense-emotions-topic-discussion/Useful LinksNemesis review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2022/06/18/nemesis-saturday-review/Adam Kwapiński's design diary for Heroes: https://boardgamegeek.com/blog/1/blogpost/46089/designer-diary-all-about-the-atmosphere-or-the-desMusicIntro Music: Bomber (Sting) by Riot (https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/)Surrounded by Hayden Folker | https://soundcloud.com/hayden-folkerMusic 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_USThe Travelling Symphony by Savfk | https://www.youtube.com/savfkmusicMusic promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons / Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Necromancer Obediah (The Complete) by Solas Composer | https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsG2Cp2McUqk78pIPK1aXZgMusic promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons / Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Back Home by | e s c p | https://www.escp.spacehttps://escp-music.bandcamp.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 Stefano Pollio on Unsplash)

Send us a textWhat's up you bunch of loyal listeners? Mike, Andrew, and Alissa are in a bowl of hot pickles, huh? First, they fly away from a burning space station, then are told to go find said arsonist. Kinda illegal if I do say so myself! Except I'm not saying it, because we don't condone illegal activity here! .......ok, are the narcs gone? Ok cool. But like, for real though, laws and morality don't always coincide, and it's really up to you to figure out where your moral compass lies. I mean, would you really be upset at a starving kid for taking food? It's technically illegal, but if we had the means to feed the kid, maybe it's society's fault that the kid is so hungry to begin with, ya know?

We love unique gaming experiences, especially from those tough-to-find games in Asia. Why are they so different from Western-made games? And what are the differences between games that originated from Japan, Taiwan, Korea, or other parts of the East? Jay Bernardo, marketing manager at Bezier Games and content creator at Cardboard East (which specializes in covering board games from Asia), was kind enough to join Going Analog to teach us the ways. We also recommend some new games that play best at 5 or 6 players! Timeline: 3:29 - Going Analog's game pick: Finca. 8:35 - Jay's game pick: Dune (1979 version). 18:01 - Jay's topic: East vs. West board games. 41:51 - Going Analog's topic: 5- to 6-player games.
In this episode of Dice Over Everything, we talk about two of our loves - Board Games, and Miniature Wargames - And what the differences of these two things are, in both our minds and the zeitgeist at large. When is a game a wargame? A Board Game? Is there a real difference? And what does it take to get someone from one sphere to try the other?

Ever feel like your toy or game idea is too niche or catch yourself wondering if you've really got what it takes to break into the industry? Maybe you've been sitting on a killer concept, or you're already knee-deep in prototypes and second guesses.In this episode of Making It in the Toy Industry, I'm chatting with TCA alum and current Accelerator student Manish Punani, who proves that with the right guidance and a whole lot of passion, even the most unexpected game themes can find their place in the market. Manish shares his journey from working in merchandising to launching Cricket or Nothing, a suspense-filled, strategy card game that turns the classic sport of cricket into a brainy, poker-like duel. You'll hear why he walked away from his first concept and instead went all in on cricket. We talk about what it really takes to prepare for a Kickstarter campaign and how you can start laying the groundwork now. You'll also hear why tapping into passionate cultural communities is a genius launch, and how TCA coaching helped Manish see both his idea and his audience in a brand new light.This episode gives you a glimpse of what it really looks like to build a game from the ground up while learning, pivoting, and connecting with the right people along the way.If you want to be a part of Toy Creators Academy and get the opportunity to join the Accelerator as a graduate, visit toycreatorsacademy.com today.Listen for these Important Moments![00:06:08] - Find out why Manish scrapped his original game concept and how trusting feedback can lead to a better product fit.[00:11:11] - Discover how this game turns cricket into a mind-game-packed, poker-style showdown that grabs attention even from non-cricket fans.[00:09:19] - Hear how Manish realized licensing wasn't the only option and why launching it himself became the smarter move.[00:20:19] - Learn why marketing to fans who already love your theme (like cricket) is the fastest way to build a loyal audience.[00:27:06] - Get practical tips on how to use low-cost ads and landing pages to grow a ready-to-buy audience for your launch.Send The Toy Coach Fan Mail!Support the showPopular Masterclass!
