Podcasts about foxtrot games

The woodcutter and I were travelling the lands when we reached a kingdom far to the south. Its people were most distraught, because the fairies of the woods had kidnapped the most famous musician whose music made everything better. Of course, we agreed to help the people without hesitation. We ventured into the forest and peeked under every leaf and fern and beneath the shelf of every mushroom until we finally found the musician, surrounded by angry fairies. Overjoyed, they played an enchanting lullaby that made the fairies go to sleep and allowed us to escape. After reuniting the musician with the people, we were celebrated as heroes and from that moment on were both known as The Fox in the Forest Duet by Foxtrot Games from Renegade Game Studios.

Ahhh, cari amici del Dunwich Buyers Club… cosa c’è di meglio della primavera? Dei fiori, del tepore, del profumo di nuovo che si respira nell’aria?

Randy Hoyt from Foxtrot Games joins us to talk about his journey through the world of board game.

In Episode 34, Craig digs in to three tile placement games, which quickly becomes a lesson on intro/family games. During the episode he discusses Lanterns: The Harvest Festival from Foxtrot Games and Renegade Games, Between Two Cities from Stonemaier Games, and New York 1901 from Blue Orange Games.   Show Times: Lanterns (Foxtrot Games): 6:50 Between Two Cities (Stonemaier Games): 20:45 New York 1901 (Blue Orange Games) 41:15

In today's podcast Randy Hoyt, of Foxtrot Games, goes into a lot of detail regarding all of the costs associated with running a Kickstarter campaign. We also talk about what it was like when Lanterns won the Mensa Select award, and we learn that Randy doesn't like getting wet. RICHARD:        Hello, this is Richard Miles with boardgameauthority.com and today my guest is RANDY:            Randy Hoyt, owner of Foxtrot Games. RICHARD:        Hi Randy, thank you for taking the time to speak with me today. You have a Kickstarter coming up for World's Fair, tell us when we can expect to see that? RANDY:            Yeah, we're targeting September 29th, which is about two weeks from when we're recording. RICHARD:        Now, we'll certainly get into World's Fair but, first let's talk about the other games that Foxtrot has. You have two games on store shelves right now, is that correct? RANDY:            That's correct, we have Relic Expedition, our first game. It's a jungle exploration game, think, like Indiana Jones. The board starts small and as you explore out a bunch of new tiles are revealed and the jungle grows in unpredictable ways each time. The second game is Lanterns the Harvest Festival, that's another tile laying game, you're playing an artisan in imperial China decorating the palace lake with floating lanterns to gain favor with the emperor. RICHARD:        Now, I must confess, I haven't played Relic Expeditions but I have played Lanterns and that's a family favorite. It's actually a big hit anywhere I take it: board game night, a relative’s house, everybody seems to really enjoy this game and, as I understand it, Lanterns the Harvest Festival won a Mensa Select Award. Is that correct? RANDY:            It did, yeah, it was in, I guess, the beginning of May. RICHARD:        And what was winning the Mensa Select Award like for Foxtrot Games? RANDY:            Oh, man, it was so great to, hear the news. It was on Twitter, we'd been told that it would be about two weeks after the judging that we would hear but that afternoon it started coming up on Twitter and, you know, we saw the first tweets I'm like, "Is this for real? This person seems to be, like they're part of the Mensa Select, like, is this, is this, really happening?" And so, just sort of over the course of an hour seeing a bunch of different tweets that it finally seemed real and it was, just great to, when you put so much effort and energy into a product that you love and to just have, you know, just hundreds of people that participated in the judging love it also, it's just so rewarding and so wonderful, yeah, it was, I was grinning like the whole next week. RICHARD:        Congratulation, it is well-deserved, that game is deceptively simple, with some underlying complexity, due to the fact that on your turn you not only select the colors that you're going to receive but also what colors you're going to give your opponents. I haven’t really seen that mechanic in a lot of games and I really enjoy it. RANDY:            And when I first saw, when I first read the rulebook for it, I mean, this was a game designed by Christopher Chung, and he submitted it to us, and when I read the rulebook and saw that mechanic where when I place a tile I give everyone else, including myself, a resource I just thought, "Wow, that's really cool. That’s a really easy sale when I explain it to people and if the game is really fun, I’m going to want to make this.” And, still, to this day when I explain the game to people, I get 30 seconds, and their eyes just light up when I tell them, "You get a resource but so do all your opponents." And, that's the hook in that game and it plays out so nicely. RICHARD:        Yeah, it really does. I read a few days ago where Lanterns is about to sell 10,000 copies. RANDY:            That's right, we just sold out of our second print run and when we sell out, as a publisher,
