In episode 27, we review Rebel Princess and Fishing. To start off the episode, we chat about our Board Game Homie Weekend on the coast and what brought us joy: Brass: Birmingham, Daybreak, Nerdz Day Sale, and Clank! Legacy: Acquisitions Incorporated. Rebel Princess is a trick taking game that takes place over five rounds. Each player selects a Princess (each with their own special once-per-round ability) and attempts to avoid princes like the plague at the party. Just like Hearts, players must follow, and there is no trump suit. At the end of each round, count your proposals (number of prince cards and the dreaded frog prince that counts for five proposals) and add those points to your score. Collect every prince AND the frog, and you'll score -10 points. At the end of the game, the player with the least amount of points wins! Fishing is a trick taking game that takes place over eight rounds. Each player has a boat and a fishing net; during the round, you catch each card you won in a trick (or snatched from playing a zero) and add them to your net. At the end of the round, each card in your net is worth a point and then are shuffled and added to the bottom of any cards already on your boat. At the beginning of the next round, you draw cards from your boat deck to fill your hand. If you ever aren't able to completely fill your hand, you get to supplement from the Ocean deck; the Ocean deck has more valuable cards and introduces the trump suit. The player with the most points at the end of the eighth round wins!We've been having fun exploring trick takers (Angela and Gillean's collections have been exploding in growth!) and getting to discuss what we enjoy and dislike about the two. While we enjoyed both of these games, our levels of enjoyment vary for each. Connect with us @ https://lnk.bio/BoardGameHomies

The only thing worse than coming away from a first game with a really bad impression, is when it takes a really long time to shake. Imagine all the amazing games you're not playing because of one bad first game! Whether we saw the error of our ways or not, we're reflecting on the times that games left a mark that took a long time to fade.

The term Kulturgut is very hard to translate into English. In fact, I don't think there is a similar concept in the UK. "Cultural asset" doesn't really do it justice, because the term describes things that have a cultural value and need to be preserved. Literature is a type of Kulturgut for example. As a British person, you can easily see how the works of Shakespeare have a cultural value and require to be preserved. Yet, when it comes to our hobby, people don't necessarily think of modern board games as Kulturgut. In this article, I want to look at this a little closer.

In Episode 3, we review Brass Birmingham and discuss our first, second, and twenty-third impressions of the game. To start off the episode, we chat about the games that are bringing us joy: Brass Birmingham, King of Tokyo, Splendor Duel, and Dune Imperium: Uprising. Through the canal and rail eras of the Industrial Revolution, we discuss market variability, loans, emergent strategies, and hand management in this very thinky–yet engaging–game. We're obsessed, and one of us (who apparently still doesn't know ALL the rules) is so pleased to be playing so much Brass Birmingham.

Originally Aired 9/13/2018 Before Brass hit number one on the BGG charts the Snobs discussed both Brass games (like every other BG podcast likewise did). Is one superior over the other? Why does Jerry not consider them Euros? Was Gaby happy with his deluxe kickstarter game Rise of Tribes? Did Micheal Bay direct Con Air? These questions and more answered this episode. Probably not correctly, but they're answered nonetheless.

There is a type of board game that I absolutely love. In fact, I've always loved it. Economic simulations somehow activate a certain part of my brain that is really stimulating. These games not only activate my brain's reward centre, but their competitive nature and the element of bluffing all scratch the right itches for me. In this article, I want to look in a bit more detail at which games fall into this category of economic simulation and what it is about them that I enjoy so much.

Intro to & History of Enneagram The origins of the enneagram are arcane and unclear. Relation to 7 Deadly Sins, Sufi Islam George Gurdjieff, Armenian spiritualist and teacher, 1865-1949 Oscar Ichazo (Bolivian) and Claudio Naranjo (Chilean) in 1970s developed it. It came into American practice through Naranjo in CA, and Catholics there, including Father Robert Ochs. It is used in therapeutic and spiritual settings to discern who you are and who others are The Types Perfectionist: want it done right, highly moral, avoids blame Helper: wants to be loved and needed, avoids own needs Performer: wants success, gotta win, avoid failure Romantic: need to be extraordinary and understood, avoid being ordinary Investigator: independent, private, strives for knowledge, avoids help from others Loyalist: committed and funny, they are worst case thinkers, fearful, desires security, avoid danger Enthusiast: fun and happy, avoid pain Challenger: be strong, confrontational, commanding, avoids weakness Peacemaker: pleasant and accommodating, avoid conflict Where Can People Take Enneagram Test? Lots of places online, but one starting place is here (http://yourenneagramcoach.com). Caveats We are not experts No system is perfect - this doesn't define you. Our Own Enneagram Types & Implications Kevin is a 1 – a perfectionist Daniel is a 9 – a peacemaker Board Game Mechanisms for Enneagram Types K: type 1 perfectionist: are going to like high strategy and low luck games, like chess, A Feast for Odin, Azul, Brass Birmingham, and generally any kind of Euro. But you might should play games with more risk and zaniness such as Nemesis or Frostpunk. D: K: type 5 investigator: solo gamer, Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective, solo experience games like Mr. President; Endurance by Amabel Holland D: K: type 3 Performer: push your luck, dungeon crawler, risk mitigation (Nemesis; Gloomhaven; Quacks of Quedlinburg) Next episode: Gaming experiences for the holidays!

Time as a concept, is something we are very familiar with in our daily lives. Sometimes time goes quickly, at other times it seems to almost stand still. Time is also a concept that appears in board games. There is the play time, of course, but some games also use time directly as a mechanism. I want to look at how board games represent time and how they use the concept in different ways.

It is Board Game Geek's #1 game, but what did Oscar and Justin think? This month the guys take a run at this popular game about building an economic empire in Birmingham, England during the industrial revolution. This game for 1 - 4 players challenges you to build industries and the canal and railroad connections to support them.

The canal era was over. It was the time of the steam railways. The industrial revolution was in full swing and coal was at the heart of new, booming industries. A lot of iron was needed to build the infrastructure that would allow resources and goods to be shipped around the country. The workforce needed to be kept happy and beer was the perfect lubricant for this task. The rise of cotton mills, potteries and manufacturing gave us the opportunities to earn our Brass: Birmingham by Gavan Brown, Matt Tolman and Martin Wallace from Roxley Games.

We're just about finished now. Azul emerged victorious from the SdJ division voting, Terraforming Mars from the Kenners, The Crew Mission Deep Sea from the A La Cartes, and Brass Birmingham from the Golden Geeks. Now that I step back and look at those, they seem like wonderful, fantastic, even inevitable champions from each of their respective divisions...not that I was smart enough to predict them all for my bracket. These four champions now face each other, though you'll hear not quite the way I'd originally intended. It all works, though, and before long we'll have the top two vote-getters in the Mark Madness Championship for 2023.

As a reviewer, my collection has quite a large turnover. After all, I need to play at least 52 new-to-me games every year, one for each week, to have enough material to write about. I regularly buy new games and I also get a fair amount of review copies. Review copies usually go back to the publisher or are sent to the next reviewer. The games I buy don't always stay in my collection though. I do regularly prune it and get rid of games that I no longer want to keep. However, some games are evergreens for me. They stay in my collection, because I know I'll play them at least ever so often.

In this episode Dan, Adrian and Jules are talking code cracking, dice stacking and wine racking? In Sizzling Games, Dan has been running a racket in the Renaissance, Adrian has been an alien race selling spice in space, and Jules has been giving crazy clues and cunning cues. We also recap last week's Question of the Pod: What is the last game you added to your collection? Thanks to everyone who contributed and shared their experiences with us on Discord and the Facebook Community. Finally, in Swear An Oath, Adrian played Dune, Jules explored another planet in Unsettled, but Dan didn't manage to get Call To Adventure: Epic Origins to the table.

Before we get franchised, we talk about Next Station: London, Dawn of the Zeds (Third Edition), and Azul: Queen's Garden. 01:23 - Next Station: London 09:29 - Dawn of the Zeds (Third Edition) 21:44 - Azul: Queen's Garden 39:51 - A Study in Emerald (Second Edition) 40:42 - Uwe Rosenberg Puzzle Trilogy 43:15 - Marco Polo II: In the Service of the Khan 45:13 - Brass: Birmingham 47:11 - Glen More II: Chronicles 48:21 - Empires of the Void II 48:36 - The Resistance: Avalon 49:44 - 7 Wonders Duel 50:10 - 7 Wonders: Architects 50:42 - Alchemists 52:05 - Lignum 52:27 - Francis Drake Check out our wiki at: https://boardgamebarrage.com/wiki Join the discussion at: https://boardgamebarrage.com/discord Join our Facebook group at: https://boardgamebarrage.com/facebook Get a Board Game Barrage T-shirt at: https://boardgamebarrage.com/store
