Detroit Wins again on TNF, Recap and Previews of the Rest of the Week 14 Games - Episode #807
Welcome back to the GAMES EPISODE! This week not only are we doing some Bad Reviews, we also doing 2 new games brought to you by Caleb and Cordell! Get on in here and see how well you do, especially at the Game Game.
According to Minnesota Public Radio, it's hot girl sinkhole spring. In other words, we have a ridiculous number of potholes right now in the Twin Cities, and since we can't do anything other than wait for the hardworking folks of road repair to fix them, we made a game about the whole situation. Andy and Beth Korth join for this special Nice Games Jam! Attributions This episode comes to us courtesy of Nice Games Club, a Minneapolis-based podcast about game development. Find more of their episodes on their website. Our theme song is Tanz den Dobberstein, used by permission of its creator, Erik Brandt. Find out more about his band The Urban Hillbilly Quartet on their website. Game notes Prompt Ellen gave us a prompt: "Create a game about patching potholes that Gabe would have fun playing" Game type Tabletop game Materials Marbles Play-Doh or alternative squishyness A very complicated custom game board Road tiles of various sizes and configurations Setup Set up the custom game board Distribute marbles to all players Distribute Play-Doh to all players Distribute road / terrain tiles to all players Determine who will be the first player per the rules below Rules In a nutshell, the game challenges players to roll marbles down a hill. The hill is made of road tiles, but some of the tiles are pitted with potholes. Players can use Playdoh to patch potholes in the road so the marbles will make it to the finish. The board is a grid laid over a raised pyramid where players put down terrain. Everything starts in the center (city hall); that's where you put the marbles so they roll down the hill. Each quadrant is a side of the pyramid, there's some method of tiling for the player to put pieces down to determine how the marbles will travel in that area. Turn order Play starts with the player who most recently hit a pothole with their car or their bike. In case of a tie (as might happen if multiple players were in a car together), the younger player goes first. Play then proceeds clockwise. Players can take 3 actions on their turn. You can do the same action more than once. The actions are: Rotate the board Place or swap a tile Patch a pothole Drop a marble Tiles Each tile is worth 1, 2 or 3 victory points when marbles pass through. The rougher the tile, the more victory points it's worth. Players also get a bit of Play-Doh to fill up potholes in the terrain. Players have 5 tiles in their hand at any given time; as an action, they can play one, then draw back up to 5 tiles. Rotating the board Rotating the board happens towards the left (counterclockwise), the opposite of play order, which goes to the right (clockwise). Each rotation turns the board 90 degrees. Scoring & dropping marbles If a marble reaches the bottom of the hill in front of you, you get the victory points that it acquired from each tile it moved through on its journey from the top of the hill to the bottom. You ONLY get the victory points if the marble reaches the bottom of the hill. If you drop a marble as an action, and the marble gets stuck on the way, you don't get any points from the tiles it passed through. Winning the game Play proceeds in 12 rounds. Each player gets one turn per round. Play ends when the turn counter reaches zero (game starts at the start of winter, ends at the start of the next winter) Whoever has acquired the most victory points by the end of the "year" is the winner of Pothole Run Fun stuff to think about for the future We have to create an extractor to get the playdoh out. Cooperative play mode? Roles for each player? Someone who's better at filling potholes, someone who can put more marbles down, etc. Maybe two teams?

There is a lot of murky water around how Amazon works and how to optimize your ad spend. Today's guest went from building control panels for aircraft selling on Amazon and eventually became a master of PPC. Bernard Nader is the Co-Founder of PPC Maestro and an incredible Amazon expert. Bernard shares how to approach launching a new product on Amazon, making the most of Amazon PPC ad spend, and what you need to do before hiring help to grow your brand.Takeaways:Before thinking about advertising, sellers need to know which of their products and listings are actually profitable and the right ones to spend their ad budget on. As you start selling on Amazon, you need to have a thorough audit of your listing and everything that is a part of it, from photography and headline to bullets and keywords. You need to do a lot of research before getting to the launch phase.If you're selling in a very competitive space, you need to be very specific with your keywords in order to connect with a certain niche. When you target longtail keywords and really drill down the will be less competition and therefore a cheaper PPC cost.When you launch a new product on Amazon, there is a honeymoon period of around 3 weeks after your listing is launched that it will get favorable rankings from the algorithm. It's key to make the most of this period by advertising aggressively during it. Increasing your conversion rate will signal to the Amazon algorithm that it should rank your listing higher in the search results which will then increase your click-through rate.In the launch of your product into a competitive market, you should set aside about $1,500 per day for ad spend. This will ensure that you are getting your product out there and capitalizing on the honeymoon period while you can. Besides driving sales, the main goal of using PPC ads is the data that they provide you. You can use this data to inform future campaigns, changes to make to the listing, and even other product launches.Quote of the Show:“If it's converting well, then the algorithm is going to give you more love” - Bernard NaderLinks:LinkedInEmail: ben@ppcmaestro.comPPC Maestro websiteShout Outs:Jessica Beck - Grandpa Beck's Games - Episode # 131 of Amazon LegendsThe E-Myth Revisited by Michael E.

Zur Feier der Gamescom 2020 (und weil ich es terminlich nicht hinbekommen habe, heute eine reguläre Folge von Z2Z mit Manu aufzunehmen), gibt es die erste thematische Games-Episode unseres Podcasts eben schon heute. Den ersten Gaming-Podcast gibt es als Pilotepisode frei für alle. Jeder weitere wird Teil der Steady-Crowdfunding-Kampagne (über die es Freitag einen gesonderten Podcast geben wird). Und der Gast unserer Premiere ist eine echte Podcasting,- Gaming,- und Social-Media-Koryphäe! André Hecker. Ein Tausendsassa, ein Pod-a-holic, PR Manager bei InnoGames, Ex-Google-Mitarbeiter und Podcast-Produzent, Ideengeber, Horror-Film-Liebhaber, Nordlicht. Und gemeinsam schnacken wir gut zwei volle Stunden über das meist diskutierte Spiel des Jahres: THE LAST OF US 2. Wird das Spiel, das Ende Juni exklusiv für die PS4 herausgekommen ist, den Vorschusslorbeeren gerecht? Ist es das Meisterwerk, das das Medium „Videospiel“ endgültig auf den Thron der Kunst und öffentlichen Anerkennung setzt, oder ist doch nur repetitive, gewalttätige Kost, die mit ihrer bombastischen Grafik blendet? So höret hin und werdet weise.
