Another fantastic game from Button Shy Games, this episode I look at Avignon: A Clash of Popes by John du Bois. Like other games from Button shy, you can get it off the Button Site or the PNP Arcade site. This innovative game introduces the mechanic of Push and Pull. You push cards toward your opponent or pull cards towards you. The strategy must adapt to the cards on the table, or your chances of being elected Pope diminish. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/adam-f-collins/support

Sorry that this ends abruptly, we had some weird tech issues toward the end. Somehow a conversation about Metroid Dread and Golf Story lead to a celebration of emergent narrative. I reveal my most hated game (T.I.M.E. Stories, sorry). Somehow we briefly mention the Dave Matthews Band playing a gig at my manor in Victorian England while Mary Shelly, Percy Shelly, and Lord Byron canoodle in the manor's “conversation” pit.

Små spil – store oplevelser. Papstinenser har dedikeret en episode til små og nærmest mikroskopiske spil. Vi snakker definition på mikrospil, den japanske spiltradition, antal komponenter og boomet i lommespil for nogen år siden, og om det overhovedet var fedt. Derudover har Kristian snakket med Jason Tagmire fra firmaet Button Shy Games, der står bag titler som Tussie Mussie, Circle The Wagons og Sprawlopolis. Button Shy har specialiseret sig i wallet games, spil med 18 kort, og kun 18 kort, og finder blandt andet nye spil via 18 Card Challenges. Derudover fortæller Jason også om designudfordringer med små spil, Print’n‘Play og om firmaets Patreon-klub, hvor der kommer et nyt spil hver måned. Spil vi snakker om i denne episode Love Letter Ogre Illuminati Twin Stars Patchwork Sneak Attack (Rank Peter!!!)

For our last episode before 100, we are really excited to shine a big, bright spotlight on a few corners of the board gaming world that you might not know much about. If you want to build up some "indie cred" when it comes to some potential hot games in the future, this is the show for you! First up, we welcome back Chris Harris, who runs the Solitaire Print and Play game design contest on BGG. We spoke with Chris last year, and he's back to talk about how much the contest has grown, how excited we are for past winners and designers to move on to bigger and better things (including the publication of last year's winner, Black Sonata), and what's there to check out this year. As of the date of this episode airing, 8/10/18, the Solitaire PnP contest is still going on. You can check out games, participate in playtests, and follow conversations here: https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/2011569/2018-solitaire-print-and-play-contest Our second interview is a doozy - five people on a Skype call, and somehow it did not collapse in on itself.

Elizabeth Hargrave was recognized for her 2-4 player, "I split, you choose" game, Tussie Mussie, while Corry Damey contributed the 2 player tile laying game, Seasons of Rice.
