Mark and Walker switch roles this week in a stunning reversal. Walker avoids telling Mark to "get good," but it's a close thing only narrowly avoided. In Walker's defense, Mark really should git gud--as has been noted by many a scholar and physician. They discuss the redevelopment of Terra Mystica called Gaia Project, and then they generalize to how publishers sometimes mess up new editions of their games. Mark's sanity is questioned throughout; probably a sound policy.Games Played Last Week:-Stone Age 1m17s (Bernd Brunnhofer, Hans im Gluck, 2008)-Corporate America 3m44s (Teale Fristoe, Nothing Sacred Games, 2013)-Scythe: The Wind Gambit 8m12s (Kai Starck & Jamey Stegmaier, Stonemaier Games, 2017)-Mythic Battles: Pantheon 9m55s (Eric Bourlett & Benoit Vogt, Monolith, 2017) -Galaxy Trucker 14m26s (Vlaada Chvatil, Czech Games Edition, 2007)News (and why it doesn't matter):-Asmodee Buys Something 18m01s-ShipNaked and Dan Yarrington's Run-in with Phil Eklund 18m20sFeature Game: Gaia Project 22m06s (Jens Drögemüller & Helge Ostertag, Feuerland Spiele, 2017) Topic: Reskins & Second Editions 45m40s

All this, plus Japanese CCGs, escape rooms, Mystery Mansion, WashingCon, Scythe, Rob Daviau, the big lawsuit of Zev vs. Dan Yarrington, FFG and Games Workshop parting ways, Fortress America, Settlers of Catan, Go, Chess, the Fidget Cube, and, of course, Yspahan.

Craig and Russ are joined by Dan Yarrington to talk Firefly.  Why it is so beloved, and why we'd love a game about it!

To finish with the two special episodes and we’re going to do it with a bang! Since its birth just a few years ago, Game Salute has gone, not just from strength to strength, but has also helped greatly to shape the way games funded in Kickstarter have reached the backers. Starting as a fulfilment company and reaching the publisher status with terribly successful games, as well as incorporating companies like Clever Mojo Games to the portfolio of acquisitions and gathering an 18 strong team, Game Salute’s success can only be consider a meteoric. So I thought it’d be interesting to have a chat with Dan Yarrington, the mastermind behind Myriad games and Game Salute to see if we could unveil some of the secrets that have made his companies so successful. We got a lot! But of course the podcast wouldn’t be as amazing without the intervention of Dr Mike Reddy and Kara Gander. This time we discuss if using freelancers in gaming is a good or a bad idea… What do you think? Hope you enjoy the show! As always, feedback is extremely appreciated and you can send us an email at podcast@gmsmagazine.com. We very much look forward to hearing from you!
