Ahh, it's nice to be back to a regular episode again. We have an esoteric topic of the week, talk about all the games that we played recently, take a nostalgic dive back into some games that you may not have thought of in some time, and just gush over an area control game that Scott actually really likes. --- This episode's segments: 00:00:00 - Intro 00:02:51 - What's Been on the Table 00:08:01 - Topic of the Week: What Is Your Obligation as the Host? 00:21:43 - Why Did I Play That: Wonderland's War 00:33:58 - Table / Shelf / Trade 00:48:13 - Rotating: The Archives 01:00:01 - Contact Info / Sponsors 01:01:07 - Outro --- Notes! 1) Due to guest availability, we actually recorded this one before we did Episode 9 with James Hudson. We didn't know that we'd have this much Druid City so close together, but seriously Wonderland's War is exceptionally good. 2) Masque of the Red Death's track through Mark's Top 100 is pretty wild: 2019: #010 | 2020: #011 | 2021: #034 | 2022: #087 | 2023: #087 It will most likely stay in the high 80s range until it (if ever) falls out at this point. 3) The third Doctor Lucky game was The Island of Doctor Lucky in 2018. 4) It's been mentioned a bunch of times, but the most recent Top 100 Mark did can be found at: https://boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/328088/top-100-games-2023-edition?itemid=10344720 You can expect the new one to be up at the start of January 2025 after we release our Top Ten for 2025. 5) Do you like all the weird little things after the outro sting now? Because we find them hysterical. --- You can email us at boardallthetimegaming@gmail.com. We can be found at www.boardallthetime.com and on Facebook at Board All The Time.

Welcome to the off week odds and ends episode! A variety of topics are being put out today, mostly extra conversation from Episode 9 with James Hudson. In addition to those topics, we've add in our conversation post-GenCon about Madcala and I really hope you enjoy that as much as we did. Finally there will be a small little nugget about Coma Ward - a game that Mark very much wants to get a second edition chance to iron out.

This week's episode is one that Mark and Scott had an absolute blast recording and are still pumped that it happened. We have the inimitable James Hudson from Druid City Games on with this today and we got to talk a wide array of things with him. In addition to discussing gaming from an industry perspective, he also gave us a number of heads up on things from Wonderland's War, Tidal Blades, and even the future of Bloodstone! Check it out and let us know your thoughts! Meanwhile, check out next week's off-week episode featuring all the extra conversation including the future of Sorcerer City! This episode's segments: 00:00:00 - Intro / Hi James! 00:02:27 - What's Been on the Table 00:07:45 - Topic of the Week: Why Do "Bigger" Publishers Use Crowdfunding? 00:27:14 - Should Games Get Second Chances? 00:36:41 - Table / Shelf / Trade 00:56:12 - Rotating Segment: Surprise Party! 01:02:28 - What's Next for Druid City? 01:06:06 - Plugs / Outro Thank you again to James for joining us today! Here are the links to what we talked about with him: Madcala Kickstarter Page: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/druidcitygames/madcala Druid City's Main Website: https://www.druidcitygames.com Druid City's Discord: https://discord.gg/CQutpamzff Druid City's YouTube: www.youtube.com/@realdruidcitygames **As a quick note: we've gotten the question of what score ranges would each segment of Table/Shelf/Trade normally relate to? At least for Mark, a Shelf is 8+, Table is 5-7, though a 5 isn't that exciting of a table, and a Trade is 4-. **When Scott said Telescope in his review of The Search for Planet X, he meant Observatory. **When talking about Stamp Swap, Mark didn't have any foreknowledge of the game's existence. He was simply expecting an I Cut, You Choose game from the company for a very long time. You can email us at boardallthetimegaming@gmail.com.

Soapy Jones, owner of the Tuscaloosa based Left Hand Soap Company and MC of the Pink Box Burlesque Troupe, is a creative force in the city of Tuscaloosa.

Today we discuss Tidal Blades designed by the Eisner Brothers and published by Druid City and Skybound Games featuring Jamey Stegmaier from Stonemaier Games! In Tidal Blades 15 years have passed since the Great Battle, a cataclysmic confrontation that spawned a rift into where creatures dwell. Now a tournament is being held to find heroes that can stop the onslaught of monsters that are once again spewing forth! You and up to 2-5 players will compete to become a Tidal Blade, the elite guards of the island realm. To win, you'll need to succeed at challenges being held throughout multiple arenas and rise above the competition. Each day you'll send your hero to take actions on the different Locations and to undertake Challenges. Challenges can only be completed in matching locations and will require a push your luck dice system to accomplish. Completing Challenges and fighting monsters will advance your character in four traits further improving your chances on future turns. Each Tidal Blade will be judged at the end of the 5 rounds based on the Challenges they have completed, the level of each of their Traits, their standing on the Champions Board, and the monsters they have fought. The winner will be named “Tidal Blade: Hero of the Reef!”Learn more about Jamey Stegmaier and Stomaier Games here.

Merry Christmas and happy Kwanzaa to everyone! Taking It Down is back in its usual Tuesday slot, and the guys are eager to give out some thanks to devoted listeners (1:19) before talking about the seriousness of COVID-19 (1:55). Then it's time to talk about The Mandalorian and what it says about Star Wars going forward -- and if you haven't seen the season finale, beware of spoilers (4:39). Then it's a shout out to the fun of the Druid City Brewery's Nightcap (19:07) before a discussion of HBO's documentary on the Bee Gees How Can You Mend a Broken Heart (23:19).
