April 3, 2024 | Green Shield Deck Builders Owner Adam Rought joins the Show to talk about the Company becoming Official Deck Builder of Detroit Tigers.

In this episode, Wade and Shane discuss why deck building businesses may want to adopt a comprehensive backyard approach. They discuss how broadening spectrum can enhance customer experience, enlarge customer base, and increase profitability. Tackling everything in the backyard, from decking, outdoor kitchens, pergolas, hardscaping, lighting, to decorative fences into a unified vision results in visually appealing works that resonate with homeowners. From one contract to pay, reduced coordination hassles, the sheer convenience of a single contractor handling the entire outdoor project is undeniable. Whether you're a contractor venturing into outdoor services or a homeowner seeking inclusive backyard solutions, this episode is a treasure trove of valuable insights and learning points.   Find more The Ultimate Deck Shop: https://tuds.ca https://www.youtube.com/theultimatedeckshop https://instagram.com/theultimatedeckshop https://www.facebook.com/theultimatedeckshop https://www.tiktok.com/@theultimatedeckshop https://twitter.com/theultdeckshop

Hello again! A lot of what's going on in the world right now is Not Fun, but we're going to soldier on and return to our our look at deck-building games and what's happened in the genre since our first episode ever. This one may, at times, sound like the Renegade Games episode, but we promise we're not sponsored by them. (Not that we'd turn down some money from them, mind you...) In this episode, we discuss: The Cubitos Llama, distant relative of the Altiplano Llama from last month A game that Frank thinks is even better than the beloved Legacy of Dragonholt A tie-in with our sister Twitch RPG channel, Feats & Fables Frank tells us about more great games we can't buy A cross between Edge of Darkness, Seafall, and Scythe??? We coin the term "Quacks battle" And we plan a heist of Frank's house Stay tuned for a brand new topic next month! Will it be the long-dreaded Roll and Move episode? Tune in to find out!

Dan, Adrian and Conor return to the show to discuss roll'n'writes, Deck Builders, and drop some knowledge bombs about navigation and canon balls. Meanwhile, when it comes to Sizzling Games Adrian has been boldly building bots, Conor practices plundering pirate playthroughs, and Dan has been grabbing goods for the Gods.

Ever since its release, Slay the Spire has shaped the genre of deck builders and the rules they follow. This week, Tony and Trinity have banded together to discuss the surprising lineage of the deck builder genre and make guesses at the exciting directions this genre can go in the future.

Hi folks! It's time to jump in the Wayback Machine, revisit our very first episode, and see what's changed in the world of deckbuilders since 2018! Don't worry, we still have plenty of ideas for new episodes, but we're going to look back at older episodes occasionally to see what we missed the first time around and what new hotness has been released in the interim. And, as seems to be usual lately, we've cut this episode in two because we don't know how to shut up. As a consolation prize, here's a picture of the adorable Altiplano llama, which SOME people just don't know how to appreciate. Stay tuned for the back half of this episode next month! If you miss us before then, writing an iTunes review will help keep us fresh in your memory. We'd also love to have you visit our website and let us know what kinds of games we should discuss next. You're also more than welcome to comment on the episode page, or our Facebook page, or tag @ascentofgames on Twitter - whatever way you prefer to share your opinions with us, we'd love to hear them.

In episode 86, Dean and Jon take a look at games we've been playing lately (Yokohama, Brew, & Gugong). They also review Imperium: Classics (while talking a bit about Imperium: Legends) and finish up the episode with their top 5 Deck Building games.

There were so many games in our past week, we had to do a Lightning Round: Evo Explores, Mekorama, What the Golf, & Farm Simulator 19. Plus, Michael regained his Greak Memories of Azur. JJ gets back into an old Yakuza habit with the newest game. And, Andy waxes on too long about Monster Train and Slay the Spire.

Today we're reviewing the hot new deckbuilder Imperium: Classics. Will this supercharged deckbuilder last a thousand years on our shelves or will it fade into history?Then, with this newest wave of deckbuilders times another mechanism, we're discussing deckbuilders on steroids.

Rob is joined by Nicole Clark and Cameron Kunzelman to discuss two recent deck builders: Klei's Griftlands and Abrakam's Roguebook. What do we like and what brings us dismay about each? How do they stack up against other recent paragons of the genre? Where do these types of games fit into the strategy ecosystem? Is boxed macaroni and cheese really that much better if you drop some unsalted butter in there? That's not relevant to the episode. It's just me, Len, asking a cooking question.

In today's episode we cover Abandon All Artichokes, a game for all those Deck Buildering fans who want to introduce their kids to this popular game mechanic. We consider Abandon All Artichokes a perfect place to start when introducing Deck Builders to kids.

Next, we give our top three deck building games. Finally, we unbox and give our first impressions of Carnival of Monsters, a new game by Richard Garfield.

Deck/bag/dice builders are games where your starting deck or pool changes throughout the game as you buy more cards or cull cards. We love this mechanic and talk through the game that started it all: Dominion. Other games we discuss are: Thunderstone (all varieties) Clank! Mystic Vale Arkham Horror TCG Star Realms (Hero Realms) Tyrants of the Underdark

This week, we have an all new Top 10 list, featuring the best deck building games out there.  First up, Chris and Anthony dive into our question of the week, looking at your answers to the question, "what game or designer would you attend a dedicated convention for?"

This week is all about deck builders! We discuss some of our favourites and how this mechanic is used in different games. We also have a discussion about what we played in the week, including Machi Koru, One Night Ultimate Werewolf, Dead of Winter the Long Night and Star Realms, so much Star Realms!

You probably already know that Brent and Nathan love deckbuilders while Ryan is pretty particular on the subject. The Meeple Nation hosts sit down and discuss three small box deck builders. Valley of the Kings, Valley of the Kings: Afterlife, and Valley of the Kings: Last Rites are all standalone (with interchangeable parts) games from Tom Cleaver and AEG. Playable in under an hour for 2-4 players. Players gain points by obtaining then entombing item cards. Best played with three (maybe four), this game requires you to entomb (place in a scoring pile) the powerful cards you had previously bought. Dale of Merchants is a cute little game from Sami Laakso and Snowdale Design. Each of the two games, Dale of Merchants and Dale of Merchants 2 comes with six animal sets, allowing each game to be different as different animal sets are combined. It is playable in under an hour for 2-4 players. Xenon Profiteer is a game from T.C. Petty, III and Eagle-Gryphon Games. It is also playable by 2-4 players in under an hour. Most turns players will add air to their hands then try to remove the unwanted elements while fulfilling contracts and upgrading their distillery.

This week Anthony and Jason are talking about one of their most recent plays and a game high in the hotness for January - Aeon's End. We dive into the game and how it plays, how it compares to a very similar game - Sentinels of the Multiverse - and what we think about some of the other big solo-compatible deck builders on the market.  Make sure to stop by BoardGamersAnonymous.com and check out all of our recent episodes, as well as our guild on Board Game Geek where we talk about each episode and our questions of the day.
