Zombicide: Gear Up Review & Kickstarter Roundup. We have a few favourite things in boardgames. We like co-operative games. We like fast gameplay and replayability. We love Zombicide, but we also love compact games with quick set up and breakdown.  When we discovered Zombicide: Gear Up we honestly didn't think it was going to be very good. A Cool Mini or Not game with no miniatures? A Zombicide game with no modular map and senerio book? Flip and Write? How could this possibly work? It's just not Zombicide! We thought all these things and asked ourselves the questions but I bought it anyway because it was inexpensive and I was curious. I'm Glad we did! Holy cow! I continue to be amazed at how well CMON is able to adapt the Zombicide theme to new mechanics. The game is fast, fun, and absolutely feels like Zombicide. We talk about Zombicide: Gear Up more in the episode and we also do a very quick round up of some the the games on kickstarter and in retail that we think might be amazing!

We backed it. It arrived. It sat in the box for far too long. Eternia needs saving... Or conquering. It's a perspective thing really. We finally relive all our childhood fantasies and play Cool Mini or Not's Masters of the Universe board game: Clash for Eternia.   Spoiler alert: there was a fisting.   Come play sevens at Thoughtless Bowl 4 Check out the new and improved TCG website Wanna chat blood bowl?

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.

This week we talk about Trudvang Legends, Cool Mini or Not's(CMON) latest game that is live on kickstarter, and the roller coaster ride of emotions that backing on kickstarter can inspire.  How does one decide to spend $100 or more on a game that they have never played and wont see for at least a year? What rewards could make this gamble worth while?  This episode is all about giving you an insight into that process and an idea about whether kickstarter is right for you.

Craig and Russ discuss the emergent narrative campaign that occurred thanks to the brilliant in game mechanics and background of Song of Ice and Fire from Cool Mini or Not.

Shelley and I train our students and gain knowledge by wandering around Europe in Newton by Simone Luciani and Nestore Mangione from Cool Mini or Not and Cranio Creations then attempt to thwart the evil intentions of Nogbad, create wondrous Inventions, and show our heroism by completing Sagas in  Tales of the Northlands: The Sagas of Noggin the Nog by Nick Case from A-Muse-Ment

Lots of talk of economics in this week's news. One might expect a diminishing return on such talk, but as rational consumers of news we often find a deficit of such a valuable commodity. Ceteris paribus, we're willing to offer you the free lunch of our altruism, even though that may lead to a tragedy of the commons. We value your investment of time when you listen to us--our intellectual capital is all we have, after all.I don't think I'm very bullish on this bit any more.

Besøg fra Norge Natascha og Henning besøgte Danmark i sommeren 2018 og var i den forbindelse forbi Faraos Cigarer i København. Det overvældede Natascha, så hun postede på Facebook at nu havde de fundet himlen. Parret er begge store brætspilsentusiaster og har illustreret for udgivere som Fantasy Flight og Cool Mini or Not og har på den måde været med til at udforme det vi andre kigger på og sidder med, når vi skal rykke en pirat-brik i havn eller overvejer om Joffrey skal af med hovedet, i Game of Thrones. Lyt med på dette løse og dejligt uformelle interview om branchen, inspiration, film og illustrationer. Natascha Röösli og Henning Ludvigsen anno 2018 på sommerferie i Danmark. Tegningen her blev senere lavet til en plastik-figur af Natascha Röösli Hennings selvportræt Henning omtaler i interviewet de to versioner der er blevet tegnet af ham, og som også har givet ham en plastik brik i Arkham Horrors univers.

DESCRIPTION: 2018 may only be a month old, but that doesn't mean the hobby hasn't found itself stumbling over a couple notable mistakes by the publisher CMON. This week, Erin and Ryan dive into those issues, and gush about Charterstone, before diving into a lengthy discussion about what makes an escape room game challenging and memorable. GUESTS: None RECENTLY PLAYED GAMES - (0:27): Charterstone by Stonemaier Games (BGG Link) Five Seals of Magic by Mayfair Games (BGG Link) QUICK TOPICS – (16:14): Within weeks of each other, noted publisher Cool Mini or Not found itself on the receiving end of two PR messes pertaining to two of their games. The first revolved around the inclusion of some tasteless tiles in their recent HATE campaign, while the second is an embarrassing (and abject) lesson to not rely on Wikipedia for all your research information, as has happened with their Rising Sun game. FEATURED TOPIC - (32:48): It should come as no surprise to anyone at this point...but Erin loves escape room games. We've talked about it in passing a couple times already. But with well over a dozen titles in the small but growing genre, we decided to sit down and parse out what makes them so special. Topics include: What makes a fun escape room game (i.e. difficulty, player size, theme, etc.) The limitations of an escape room game as they currently exist What can break the experience How to get started with escape rooms How we'd like to see the genre row PLUGS - (1:23:56): We recently reviewed Charterstone!

This week I talk to Mr Bryan Steele, the brand manager for the Cool Mini Or Not game Dark Age. Dark age is a post apocalyptic tabletop skirmish game based on a 4 x 4 playing area.Bryan is a positive and open guy and it was fantastic that he gave up some of his free time to talk to me for the show. I found Bryan to be a gentleman of wide & varied experience and we could have easily filled up 3 episodes just talking about his history, insight, and work. I will certainly be inviting Bryan on again to speak specifically about his painting, a subject we didn’t even get to talk about!!!! Regardless I found our chat interesting and hopefully you enjoy it. 

Episode 144: The Magic of PoSplo Length: 1:03:56 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: It's one look forward and another look back. With the summer convention scene vastly approaching, Erin and Ryan discuss their expectations for visiting Origins for the first tine. Then they dive into a review of Potion Explosion to reiterate just what makes the game so darn entertaining. GUEST: None RECENTLY PLAYED GAMES - (01:22): The Manhattan Project: Energy Empire by Minion Games (BGG Link) Armageddon by Queen Games (BGG Link) Honshu by Renegade Game Studios (BGG Link) QUICK TOPICS – (19:47): Origins is, like, super soon! And the CR is going! For the first time! We lay out what some of our expectations are and what we hope to do what we get there. If you're going here's hoping our paths cross! REVIEW - (25:39): Based off the "Match 3" style of video games, Potion Explosion is all about making potions and causing explosions...hence the name. In this short 2-4 player game, each person is an apprentice wizard gathering ingredients to fill a series of potions, which is done by removing one or more marbles from the game's eye-catching dispenser tray. Completed potions are worth a variable number of points - depending on how difficult it is to complete - as well can be used to generate a number of different one-time effects throughout the game. Originally released by Horrible Games and subsequently picked up by Cool Mini or Not, Potion Explosion rose to rapid popularity in part because of an ideal blend of casual gameplay and tactile marble-plinking enjoyment. Tapping into both a person's desire for socializing through gaming and an innate love of pattern recognition, Potion Explosion delivers so well as a casual game as to have been one of the 2016 Socializer Laurel nominees. That said, as we elaborate, its magic won't work on everyone. Also, you can check out Ryan's simple Potion Explosion trick for tray storage here.  (Note: if you don't see pictures below, you can view them via the RSS feed or clicking this link.) The center marble tray where you gather magic ingredients (cleverly disguised as marbles) The game comes with a variety of colorful potions of different effects With all the necessary marbles, this potion is now ready for drinking Sets of potions are worth points and are a victory condition at the same time Several possible pulls could make for magical explosions. Which will you grab?   PLUGS - (1:03:07): Speaking of Honshu, we’re raffling off a copy of it to a lucky Patreon backer. Consider donating today!

This week we're diving into a pair of Cool Mini or Not releases from the last few months - starting with Masmorra: Dungeons of Arcadia, a dice driven dungeon crawl that just hit US shores for Kickstarter backers. It's one of the few Cool Mini or Not games with a built-in solo variant, so how does it fare?  Next up we look at Eric Lang's most recent CMON release - The Others: 7 Sins - which hit for Kickstarter backers in September and the public at large shortly after. How does the fan-made solo variant for this one stack up?  Finally, we dive into a discussion of Cool Mini or Not's overall practices and where we think they stand after a few years. Does a company this size still need the surge of attention and built-in scarcity that a Kickstarter campaign provides?  If you haven't yet, check us out on Facebook and Twitter where we post every day, including our Question of the Day. You can also catch up on recent episodes on BoardGameGeek and everything is published to BoardGamersAnonymous.com.

Shelley and I take on two games that fell flat for both of us. Blood Rage by Eric Lang from Cool Mini or Not and My Fair Princess by Kuro from Manifest Destiny

We have a chat about a hot game from last year, Blood Rage. We also give the details of our first contest (we are participating in the Dice Tower mega contest - $50 gift card to CoolstuffInc with a chance at $1000 gift card at CoolStuffInc). Somewhere in the podcast we give you details on how to enter! First we start off by looking at some recently played games : Imhotep 01:00 Time Stories + Expansions 07:21 Mystic Vale 15:21 We then look back at the two games we reviewed a year ago (22:00) - Machi Koro and Betrayal at House on the Hill. Do these games still hold up? We then get into Blood Rage (27:00) - Theme and components? it's Cool Mini or Not so you know the minis are good, but how is the game? What about the depth of strategy and multiple paths to victory? It's got combat as a main focus, and you know how we feel about that, is it the same for this game? And it's got one of Gray's least favourite mechanisms - drafting... If you want to have more chances of winning the $1000 dollars, listen to the other podcasts that are participating in the Mega Contest - they can be found at http://www.dicetowernetwork.com

Star Wars: Destiny, Legendary Firefly, Codenames: Pictures, Hero Realms and more discussed in our final recap of Gen Con 2016. Plus, we're joined by Jared Miller of Cool Mini or Not to talk about the big show and Rising Sun, the spiritual successor to Blood Rage.

In this episode we start by talking about one of our non board game related topics the AMC hit Preacher. We dwelve into a cosmic battle and have a delightful light show with Laterns. We also, get in some designer talk with the UK gaming expo Q&A. To bring it to a close another Cool Mini or Not Kickstarter which puts you into the dark. Producer Note: This episode does have some sound quality issues. We're still new so please understand and we'll be getting better! Send us questions or comments via Twitter @thirstygamers_ We'll eventually have a community segment on the show once we get enough of these. Thanks everyone!

Chris and Jamie are back from their trip to Atlanta, Georgia for the Cool Mini or Not Expo and they have some great games to report on. Then the founders take a look at an old favorite from their collection, Railways of the World and look back at a second Martin Wallace game Mythotopia. Tony T relays all the important news updates from around the gaming community with the professionalism you've come to expect. And finally the gang hosts another short topic extravaganza discussing RPG balance, our genie wishes, why publishers aren't more open about their in-production games and more.

It would be a podcast without me mentioning Cool Mini's Arcadia Quest, but we also touch on Nintendo's Miitomo and Plaid Hat Games Dead of Winter. You can catch Pint Size Ginger on Twitter, Tumblr, as well as on the Playstation Network (same).   You can always catch Knight's articles (Matt Mueller) on ComicBook.com, and you can reach me on Twitter and on PSN.   As for Chasing Geek, you can follow us on Tumblr or on Twitter.
