Off the coast of Queensland, Australia, in warm tropical waters, you can find the amazingly colourful Great Barrier Reef. It is home to over 40 different types of sea anemones, which are home to a lot of different kinds of sea life. Clownfish use sea anemones as shelter, taking advantage of their toxin-filled stingers as protection. Yet, while these two are friends, if you touch one as a human, the resulting painful stings can make them feel more like Enemy Anemone by Daniel Newman from New Mill Industries.

Most of the earliest card games were trick-taking games played in the 800s in China. These will have felt quite different to our modern eyes. They didn't have the concept of trump cards or trump suits. There was also no bidding. Trumps were added to European card games in the 1400s, followed by bidding in the 1600s. It took another 100-200 years for familiar trick-taking games like Whist and Skat to appear. A few hundred years after that, the mechanism has now found a new lease of life in modern hobby games.

Yes, it is that time of year again when I release a list of games that I think are ideal for you to play over the holidays. My list of Christmas games is not ordered in any particular way. Instead, I am trying to offer five different types of games that will hopefully provide you with one or two choices that suit your taste in games and are a great fit for the festive period.

Hvis du er på udkig efter et RIGTIG godt 3 personers spil til din samling, så behøver du ikke lede længere. Brian Boru er et Stikspil, (også kaldet et Trick-taking game), hvor du forsøger at overtage Ireland en by af gangen. Samtidigt med at du forsøger at blive gift, holde dig gode venner med vikingerne og kirken. Det er overraskende simpelt, men vi vil anbefale det til næsten alle vores lyttere.
I met a gamer from an antique landWho said: “Two vast and trunkless legs of plasticStand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,Tell that its sculptor well those passions readWhich yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed:And on the pedestal these words appear:'My name is Cool Mini or Not, Kickstarter of Kickstarters.Look on my pledges ye Mighty, and despair!"Nothing beside remains.

Welcome to Episode 43 of The Last Standee Podcast! We start right off the bat with a Standee Catch-up, then Cara takes the lead to talk about Unstable Unicorns and a later reimplementation of it, Llamas Unleashed. Right after it, Alessio goes into competitive trick-taking with Brian Boru: High King of Ireland. Last, Audrey reports impressions and opinion about Aeon's End: Legacy.
Season 2, Episode 6 of Cards and Cubes is about Card Games: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Well, not so much about the Ugly, but we have plenty to say about all kinds of different card mechanics and game examples which feature them. Games mentioned include Port Royal, Ark Nova, Race for the Galaxy, Boonlake, TEN, Alma Mater, Eschaton, Terramara, Firenze, Tekhenu: Obelisk of the Sun, Arboretum, Fort, Mombasa, Blackout: Hong Kong, Mottainai, Glory to Rome, Gloomhaven, 51st State: Master Set, La Granja, Cryo, Lewis & Clark: The Expedition, Nyet!, Belote, Tichu, Brian Boru: High King of Ireland, Ginkgopolis, Nidavellir.

Dan King The Game Boy Geek stars as our guest announcer today and goes the extra mile to give us some saxophone serenading! Today the Founders dive right into a conversation about a beautiful thing a group of Cabalsts did for Jamie by getting some of his favorite Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica character to wish him good health. Check out the show notes on www.thesecretcabal.com for links to the videos. Then the gang runs down some of games they've been playing including Stardew Valley, Caylus, Hunt a Killer, Nemesis, Great Wall, Brian Boru High King of Ireland, and Res Arcana. Don and Jamie throw down a feature review of Ark Nova from Capstone Games, Tony T delivers the hottest gaming news segment this side of the Mississippi and finally the gang takes questions from the listeners including where our gaming retirement home would be, what minimalist games do we recommend and what's our second favorite game from our favorite game designer.

It is the 11th century AD and the Vikings regularly invade our lands, while my domestic rivals try to forcefully take territory from me, without much luck. My military prowess is well known and I prove myself again and again, while also forging political alliances by strategically arranging marriages between my family members and other important houses. I even have time to rebuild the many monasteries in my realm, bringing the Church and its wealth onto my side. My name is Brian Boru: High King of Ireland by Peer Sylvester from Osprey Games.

Cultisti! Dovete pensare al DBC come una sorta di spettacolo di magia, una specie di show caratterizzato da prestidigitazione e altri elementi di depistaggio. In altre parole, l'attenzione dello spettatore è costantemente rivolta all'empietà, al disagio e all'oscurità. Semplici specchietti per le allodole che… MA ESATTAMENTE che animale è l'allodola? È una parola inventata secondo voi? Secondo me sì. Secondo me era “specchietto per le donnole”, poi uno ha sbagliato a scrivere e ciao. Ci siamo persi pure le donnole, a favore di animali INVENTATI. Bah. I giochi sono scritti nel titolo, dentro questo podcast si parla di loro. Un abbraccio.Buon ascolto e come sempre… Ci vediamo dall'altra parte!
In Episode 82 we provide our hot take review of Brian Boru: High King of Ireland covering the mechanisms, the production, and our overall feelings of the game. We discuss a poll about things that motivate you to look closer at a game and consider buying it, Chris gives us his famous themed cocktail segment, and then we discuss some games on our table including Tapestry: Arts and Architecture and Now or Never.

00:00 - The Secret Life of Peter Willington. 06:46 - Sam's Swanky New Tablet. 11:24 - Paper Girls is a superb, and occasionally very surprising story from the team of Brian K. Vaughan, Cliff Chiang, and Matt Wilson, and published by Image Comics. 19:23 - Something Secret, Private, and Lovely. 23:31 - Reading M. R. James short stories for the first time, specifically Oh, Whistle, and I'll Come to You, My Lad, plus Casting the Runes from The Design Mechanism, which takes its name from an M. R. James short story. We've been really enjoying its investigation-based play. 37:41 - Everyone's talking about Encanto, and with good reason: it has some of the best songs and animation of any movie produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios. High praise indeed, but well-deserved. 51:10 - Osprey Games and Peer Sylvester are always a good combo, and they're behind Brian Boru: High King of Ireland, an always-interesting game of diplomacy, manipulation, and trick taking. All that, and one of us sounds a bit like a god, with Dan (@ThisDanFrost), Kris (@DigitalStrider), Peter (@XeroXeroXero), and Sam (@MrSamTurner). Our Spotify Playlist is over on Spotify (obvs), and it gathers together lots of great thematic music inspired by the stuff we talk about. Links to where you can find us - StayingInPodcast.com Note: sometimes we'll have been sent a review copy of the thing we're talking about on the podcast. It doesn't skew how we think about that thing, and we don't receive compensation for anything we discuss, but we thought you might like to know this is the case.

The hosts are, briefly, back in the same room again, and this has had the unfortunate effect of bringing out the very worst in Mark.
