MHGG Review - Dinosaur Island Here's our review of Dinosaur Island designed by Jonathan Gilmour and Brian Lewis, with art from Kwanchai Moriya and published by Pandasaurus Games. Thankfully, through some order or chaos we found a way to time this perfectly with the new Kickstarter for the 2nd printing. Listen in as we get right down to the DNA of this worker placement game about running a Triassic Amusement Area and figure out what it's made of. At the end of it all, if you haven't lost your world, we'll have told you if you should back this second printing, not whether you could.   00:00:59 Dinosaur Island 00:01:04 Game Info 00:01:19 Rules Overview 00:2:31 Initial Thoughts 00:5:30 Art and Components 00:22:23 Rules and Rules Explanation 00:32:09 Gameplay Review 00:58:25 Final Thoughts 01:21:29 Cost and Availability 01:22:22 Listener Feedback 01:40:29 Episode Wrap Up Slack Channel Patreon Guild

This week, our hosts decided to see if the Kennerspiel des Jahres Winning Game Series, Exit: The Game, was worthy of its' 2017 win over show favorite, Terraforming Mars. Is this something that can bring people into the hobby and yet still satisfy veteran gamers? Does it ACTUALLY feel like an escape room in-a-box? Or Do you feel like you are just cutting things with scissors and comparing cards to each other? Find out inside! The first half of the episode is dedicated to how our hosts feel about the game system as a whole(spoiler-free), whereas the second half is chock full of spoilers as they dive deep into each of the three first games, The Abandoned Cabin, The Pharaoh's Tomb, and The Science Lab. 00:00:43 Introducing MHGG Ruins! 00:02:44 An aside about Escape Rooms 00:09:42 MHGG review - Exit: The Game 00:10:06 Rules overview 00:11:17 Initial Thoughts 00:15:29 Components Review 00:21:54 Rules Review 00:27:11 Gameplay Review 00:37:38 Final Thoughts 00:46:21 Our Personal Favs 00:51:08 Spoiler-free Episode Wrap-up Beyond Here There Be SPOILERS!!! 00:55:22 MHGG Ruin Exit: The Game Here There Be SPOILERS!!!

MHGG Review - Twilight Struggle   Our hosts are joined once again by Katie, from Katie’s Game Corner, and they all go into the wayback machine into the Cold War with GMT Games’ Twilight Struggle. This card-driven area control game features two superpowers fighting for “control of the world,” so it is super low stakes, don’t worry. Does the theme and simple yet deep play structure make you want to attempt to coup BGG for letting this amazing game fall from number one, or does the thought of having to learn a bunch of cards to play with veteran players make you want to shout “Gorbachev tear down that wall! So I can literally play anything else!”? Find out inside! A BGG response closes out the show. 00:00:33 Intro 00:01:17 MHGG review - Twilight Struggle 00:01:32 Rules overview 00:03:23 Initial Thoughts 00:06:14 Components Review 00:15:55 Rules Review 00:24:39 Gameplay Review 00:51:27 Final Thoughts 01:00:25 Listener Responses 01:03:21 Episode Wrap-up MHGG Slack Channel MHGG Patreon MHGG BGG Guild
