Podcasts about first class all aboard

Opener: Aton I'm back in California now, since my work in France is done. All told, we were there about nine months. That's a little shorter than the year originally planned, but clearly we enjoyed a wonderful experience. I was there for my job, and the job changed a bit (for the better), which is why we came home "early." All of that time was spent in Paris. It was the move to Toulouse that didn't happen. As my wife Candy says, we'll just have to go there on vacation some day. Before we left France, however, we recorded a podcast with our good friends Melissa & Olivier. They were the first people who responded to my invitation for a Light/Short group. Not only did they become our most reliable boardgamers in the group, they also became our best friends in France. It was difficult to say goodbye, but I'm confident we'll see them again. As you'll hear, they're new to the hobby, very enthusiastic, and are starting to attend big events in the hobby. They'll return to the UK Games Expo at the end of this week, may go to Essen later, and will no doubt start attending the game events in France. If their careers bring them back to New York, then I expect we'll see them at the American game events, too. I enjoy hearing how my friends got into the hobby, and this interview has the added benefit of Olivier's international perspective. Anyone who wishes their spouse played more boardgames will be green with envy when you hear how these two enjoy the hobby together. Wow!

Vi har alla varit där, ögonblicket då vi kollat på en spellåda och läst att spelet ska ta 1,5 h och vetat att det betyder att vi har minst 2,5 h spel framför oss. I detta avsnitt försöker vi resonera hur det kommer sig och pratar även om vilken speltid som faller oss bäst i smaken. Först pratar vi om några spel vi hunnit med att testa. Jonas åker lyxigt i First Class: All Aboard the Orient Express och bygger nöjesfält i Unfair. Niklas och hans katter pratar tidsresor i Anachrony och spelar laserskjutande troll i Shadowrun: Crossfire. Anders vill inte vara sämre och pratar om den nyligen levererade kickstartern med reprinten av Colloseum. Som alltid kör vi lite kickstarters, nyheter och events. Som avslutning kör vi en lista med lite kortare spel, våra favoritfillers! Vi provar ny inspelningsteknik så hojta om ni upplever en förbättring eller försämring!

Shelley and I check out a game that flew under a lot of people's radar at Essen, then get the card/game version of a fantastic title from a couple of years ago to the table: Rhodes by Pieter Boots from The Game Master and First Class: All Aboard the Orient Express by Helmut Ohley from Hans im Gluck

Shelley and I delve into our list of games released and played in 2016 now that we have most of the ones we needed to get to under our belts.  Here are our lists, and listen to find out our reasoning behind our choices: Shelley's List: 1) Scythe 2) Mystic Vale 3) Yokohama 4) Ulm 5) Round House 6) Lorenzo il Magnifico 7) Kanagawa 8) First Class: All Aboard the Orient Express 9) Terraforming Mars 9.5) Coal Baron: The Great Card Game 10) Cottage Garden Honorable Mentions: Colony & Great Western Trail Doug's List: 1) Scythe 2) Yokohama 3) Terraforming Mars 4) Colony 5) Great Western Trail 6) Cottage Garden 7) First Class: All Aboard the Orient Express 8) Ulm 9) Mystic Vale 10) X Nimmt! 11) Round House Honorable Mentions: Castles of Burgundy Card Game & Honshu Disappointing Releases: Blood Rage - Hated this one... Oracle of Delphi - I will play almost any other Feld over this one. Ticket to Ride Map Collection 5: UK & Penn - Takes the joy out of the game IMO Bohemian Villages - Just not fun after the GREAT Orleans Adventure Land - Good to see HABA entering the family market, but this odd, plodding and just not fun game wasn't a good choice. Karuba, their other Essen 2015 family release IS worth your time. TIME Stories - I see its appeal, but feel it's not worth the price of admission...
