It's a very special Three Moves Ahead as we find Rob visiting Bruce in person to play a variety of wargames. The star of the weekend is Mark Herman's Churchill (previously covered in 3MA #330), a game in which players assume the role of Churchill, Stalin, or Roosevelt over the course of ten critical conferences. Also discussed: 13 Days: The Cuban Missile Crisis.
Eric's back, and we're taking old games, new albums, dead presidents and adjective-less baristas. We also discuss how the world could have ended in 1962 if we were in charge. But hey, we weren't. So you're welcome. More fun than you can fit in your crawl space. Especially when you have at least 14 baristas down there. COFFEE: 03:25 -- Three Kingdoms Redux (session report) 34:58 -- New Tunes (fea. Ryley Walker, Angel Olsen, Lisa Hannigan, Metallica, The Tragically Hip & more) 49:52 -- The Wayback Machine -- Our Hot Games of September 2014 63:53 -- Baristas in the Crawl Space 66:45 -- 13 Days: The Cuban Missile Crisis, 1962 (in-depth)
This week we start our interview with Asger Sams Granerud, one of the designers of 13 Days: The Cuban Missile Crisis from Jolly Roger Games. Asger and I talk about 13 Days, his upcoming designs, and the Danish boardgame scene.
In this episode of Quick Looks from The Long View, Elhannan Lloyd Keller and I discuss two, new intriguing titles. First up, is the new reprint of Stronghold, the new version from Stronghold Games, Stronghold (2nd edition). Is it really an improvement over the original? Is it the ultimate castle defense game? Are the components as good as you've heard? Tune in to find out! Finally, we review the new game 13 Days: The Cuban Missile Crisis from Jolly Roger Games. Is it really Twilight Struggle in 30 minutes or less, or a shallow imitation of this classic? Is it possible to make a game about this short of a time period re-playable and enjoyable? Listen to hear our thoughts. Thanks, as always, to The Dice Tower Network, for their support of the show, and special thanks to my sponsor www.gamesurplus.com for their support as well. Thanks to YOU for listening!
Join us this episode as we explore the 2008 K & K game Cavum. Is the game an overlooked gem or is it just a 'fugazi'? You'll have to listen to find out! We also discuss 13 Days: The Cuban Missile Crisis and West of Africa.
