The inaugural episode kicks off with the best guest in the history of podcasting. Listen in as Alexis makes up her own version of Settlers of Catan, and then the Double D’s navigate their way through her peculiar tastes to pick the perfect game: Mansions of Madness 2nd Edition from Fantasy Flight Games . We also breakdown (and sometimes tear down) Codenames, Codenames Pictures, and Codenames Duet from CGE with special guest Annette. And finally, in That’s Ridiculous, Darin tries to convince a very skeptical Daron and a more open-minded Lorelei that a simple $3 notebook just won’t do when it comes to gaming.
There are too many games in our collection that we have only played once or twice and whilst that lets us play a good variety of games you don't always get the feeling that you have mastered a game. This week we discuss ways you could master a game and why you would even want to do that. We also discuss some games we played the rest of the week including Magic Maze, Codenames Pictures and the excellent Untold Adventures Await.

Stockpile Recovering from an overdose of theme, our hosts start off the podcast with some newly played games. Zach tried out the Onirim App and Kana Gawa, Jeff got introduced to Hanamikoji and Clank!, And Adrian finally got in a play of Codenames: Pictures. In the Kickstarter section, Gloomhaven 2nd printing is announced, Hardback, a pre”quill” to Paperback, gets funded, and our hosts look at a couple funding entries from fellow Media folk, Rahdo Runs Through and The Secret Cabal. In news, a Big Trouble in Little China mini game gets some more coverage, and Airships come to Scythe!Moving onto the review of the week, our hosts discuss Stockpile. Can our hosts use their insider knowledge to find the greatness in this game and it's expansion? Or does its low weight make them feel strategically bankrupt? Does the expansion make the game better? Or does it try to add too much, too fast? Find out inside! A bgg comment and an email close out the show. 00:00:30 Banter!

Episode 126: The Art Of The [Preorder] Deal Length: 1:03:20 Show Links: RSS | iTunes | Stitcher | Download Episode Welcome back to Vox Republica, the Cardboard Republic Podcast! We post new episodes every other Thursday, with each episode being about 45 minutes long. Vox Republica is proudly supported by our Patreon. Consider contributing today! DESCRIPTION: Attempting to get back to a normal length podcast after August's heavier episodes, this week Erin and Ryan talk about some recent Patreon happenings - including an announcement about it - and then they dive into a discussion on how much you need to know about a game before you order it. After that, the days is rounded out by a review of Avalanche at Yeti Mountain. GUEST: None RECENTLY PLAYED GAMES - (01:43): Codenames: Pictures by Czech Games Edition Looting Atlantis by Shoot Again Games Prospectus by Mr. B Games Discoveries by Ludonaute / Asmodee Editions QUICK TOPICS - (24:12): We chat about a couple of our recent Patreon happenings, including our past milestone goal progress and our plans for the next one. FEATURED TOPIC – (27:08): How much do you need to know about a game before you buy it? With Essen approaching, it's not uncommon for people to purchase games from limited markets with little or no information about them. We ponder some of the implications of this approach including: The scale from impulse purchasing to meticulous research, and how there's room for both Why sometimes it can be difficult to do research ahead of purchasing it How do preorders fit into one's game planning? Where impulse buying really thrives REVIEW - (41:33): Avalanche at Yeti Mountain is the latest title from Green Couch Games, a company who focuses on engaging little games that are visually appealing and as portable as they are easy to teach. In this snow-capped expedition for 1-5 players, a number of crazy engineering students decided that what skis were really missing to make them ultra cool were rocket boosters. So they went out and made some. Unfortunately, all of the rocket noise from their testing has attracted the wrong kind of attention, both in the form of the mountain's resident yeti, and a pending avalanche. Your goal is to either be the first one to the bottom of the hill by playing a card each round to speed yourself along, or simply being the last one to survive the avalanche. It's a quick and chaotic game with an amusing premise, but we look at whether that's enough. (Note: if you don't see pictures below, you can view them via the RSS feed or clicking this link.) The rocket ski card for the Purple..er..Yellow...er...Green player? With the card played matching their space, Purple can activate their rockets to leap ahead and still move four spaces The various cards found on Yeti Mountain Yellow has made an unexpected friend this turn It's all downhill from here The avalanche is about to spell the end for Orange It's a photo finish!

Recorded from War Room Studios in Albuquerque, NM : 7-12-16 This episode brought to you by BoardgameTables.com and Meeple Realty - We have absolutely no clue what Pokemon Go is and our conversation proves that - We do, however know exactly what Overwatch is (and B LOVES it). We get back to giving away games thanks to MVP Games. Josh confesses that part 1 of his Supremacy discussion didn't go as planned & we propose a format revision to rectify this going forward. Josh has to be taught what a McMansion is and refuses to discuss his Star Wars: Edge of the Empire campaign. We both do our best impression of a Network Executive as talk through our The Networks Board Game Review and then we preview all the biggest and baddest titles upcoming at Gencon 2016.

Finally, we end with an electrifying game of Question Wood Toy Folds High. Can Matt fix his losing streak?
