In episode 96 of Game Design Unboxed: Inspiration to Publication we talk with Ellie Dix about her design, A Midsummer Night's Fayre, published by Gamewright. The mechanics were inspired by fairground games. As a kid into adulthood she would gameafy trips and average activities. In her game you play ten mini games. You roll and choose dice while using fairy mischief cards to manipulate the dice to win the game. Her biggest challenge was accepting the loss of the Helter skelter dice tower. They adapted it through development into what you now see on the inside of the box lid. Featuring: Ellie Dix - Guest Danielle Reynolds - Host
Fun begins at the ends in Butts on Things. Collect as many cards with keisters by pairing posteriors on the tails of any row or column on the table. You'll be over the moon when you find a way to cap off any line with a nice set of cans.

Artichokes come in two main forms: globe and Jerusalem. Both are lovely vegetables with many health benefits. As culinary ingredients, some love their wonderful flavour, while others hate them for the same reason. However, we want to talk about globe artichokes specifically here. So while you might love these wonderful green plants, as relatives of thistles it is no surprise why one might be desperate to Abandon All Artichokes by Emma Larkins from Gamewright.

In bygone days you had a closet full of board games, or you kept them on a shelf in the basement, and every now and again you'd gather folks around the table to play. And aside that one story we had about the broke dude in Atlantic City inventing the game Monopoly, until the last decade or two, there was no attention paid to the idea that somebody created those games, that experience, or the gaming environment, which is the term oft-used in our discussion today. Our guest is Jason Schneider. He is one of the creatives who has helped bring board games back to the fore. We have a great discussion about the phenomenon of gaming, the types of games, the different elements of a game and how, despite the growing presence of video games, table-top games remain the real deal. This is especially true for people wanting actual human connection, like that which is experienced playing a rambunctious party game, a strategic thinker with your nerdy friends, or a cooperative game on family game night. As the VP of Product Development at Gamewright, a game company with over 200 titles that focuses on family friendly games, Jason knows the business, and he provides a tremendous peak inside the process of creating games; from the initial idea to development to testing to marketing and finally to that game being on your dining room table. Maybe that game being played tonight in your home is one of Gamewright's super creative games, like Slamwich, Sushi Go, Super Mega Lucky Box, Gubs, Forbidden Planet , Abandon All Artichokes or any other game in Gamewright's massive, highly acclaimed catalogue. So it's your move, press play and enjoy your journey through the Kites and Strings environment with Jason Schneider.

In this episode of Feature Friday, I am talking about the game Qwixx. This game is for 2-5 players ages 8+ and is like Yahtzee in a way. You are crossing off numbers and adding numbers and trying not to get penalty points. This game right off the bat is amazing for gameschool families considering you are adding and subtracting a lot. I am part of a gameschool co-op and someone uploaded a file to use the score pad sheets to do multiplication in this game and I am super excited to try this.

A mysterious grid of 9 ancient stones lies before you. Rearrange them to match your pattern cards and score points. The challenge is, these pattern cards may either be used to move/flip the stones or score points... but never both!
As far as Walker is concerned, when he says that Mark is a jerk and he smells funny, that's a prime example of a combo. Mark counters that a perfectly sensible combo is a podcast about board games issuing random observations of silly blockbuster movies. In either case, if you want your mind to break and your conception of reality to weaken, we encourage you to investigate short scale vs. long scale. Numbers are meaningless and all is illusion.

In episode 8 of Game Design Unboxed: Inspiration to Publication we talk with Emma Larkin on how to design a game based on a name first. Abandon All Artichokes began with a list of funny alliterative names and a few people on social media saying “I'd buy that game”! From there Emma paired the game with a deck building/wrecking mechanic and redesigned over 100 times! Hear her story on how she worked with GameWright and her local design groups to grow this game into a success! Featuring: Emma Larkin – Guest Danielle Reynolds – Host Ben Moy – Host Denice – Host

Walker is a force of nature, a pent-up human-shaped mass of pure rage.

"From the discovery of New France to the 1981 Referendum, all of Quebec history is based on a single fallacy: that the British actually wanted to own Quebec. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth. The British already had a surplus of colonies in the sunny Caribbean and took little interest in the Canadian icebox later dismissed by Voltaire as nothing more than 'quelques arpents de neige'... In 1759, with war raging everywhere between France and England, the British knew if would look suspicious if they didn't engage the French in North America. They placed the expedition in the hands of a thirty-two-year-old, inexperienced general, James Wolfe, and gave him strict orders: 'Put up a good fight... but lose.' Wolfe devised a clever theatrical strategy. He would choose an impossible attack-route: Arriving by boat on the St. Lawrence river then scaling the unassailable walls of the fortress of Quebec, thus guaranteeing defeat and dumping Quebec with France for good.

Chris and Wendy review a double-feature episode, both review copies sent to us: Planet by Blue Orange Games with a quirky bit of presentation, and Abandon All Artichokes by Gamewright games. These are two lighter games that can be great for families. Check out our thoughts on these two games. And, check out the Loveland Foundation.
Today, we put Emma in the spotlight to find out what went into designing her newest game, Abandon All Artichokes, how many cards she actually designed for it, and how the game was almost derailed by an Infinite Potato Problem. SHOW NOTES 5m44s: Magic: The Gathering and the marvelous deckbuilding video game Slay the Spire. Also check out Ludology 198 - Inspired, featuring Slay the Spire's co-designer Anthony Giovannetti. 6m00s: Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing, two video games where the player starts in a remote area with very little in the way of equipment, and ends up building a small town. 7m22s: If you want to check out more deck-wreckers, try Xenon Profiteer (one of Gil's personal favorite games), or Fine Sand. 8m39s: Don't let the bean theme throw you off. Bohnanza is one of the best trading games you'll find. 9m15s: Bonnie Pang did the wonderful art for Artichokes. 9m43s: Sushi Go, by Phil Walker-Harding and also published by Gamewright, is an excellent light drafting game. It was good enough to spawn a family of light, charming drafting games. Phil has mentioned in passing that Sushi Go took many, many tries to get right. Another example of how hard it is to make a good, light game! 11m16s: Emma mentions some other Gamewright titles that fit a similar mold: Go Nuts for Donuts and Qwixx. 15m22s: Emma casually references Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey here. 26m29s: Seth Jaffee's article on balancing game elements and "finding the unit" is still immensely valuable to game designers everywhere. 31m59s: Cardboard Edison's publisher directory is an invaluable resource to game designers looking for a publisher for their prototypes. 48m44s: The incredibly adorable Abandon All Artichokes trailer and its accompanying how-to-play video. 49m18s: We'll post a link to the design diary in the Ludology forums as soon as it goes online! 55m16s: Emma's first episode. 56m43s: Dominion, the game that popularized deckbuilding as an in-game mechanism.
Lightning strikes around you every few seconds, a hurricane is howling around you and visibility is almost zero. Add to that the fact that you're on a rickety platform 7,000 feet in the air, barely tethered to the barrier rail by rope in an almost vain attempt to stop you from being blown off and plummeting to your death, and it's obvious why the situation is so precarious. You are desperately trying to get to the launch pad, get into the rocket and get away and to safety - but you are still exploring your route there and you also have to wire up the launch system - and you're running out of time. You have to be quick and work together to reach the Forbidden Sky by Gamewright.Read the full article here: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2020/05/09/forbidden-sky-saturday-review/
Tempura or Maki? Will you grab the Nigiri and hope you can get some Wasabi? Are the chopsticks too hard to use correctly? All good questions when playing Gamewright's pick-and-pass card game, "Sushi Go!". This week Chris and Laura discuss how uncertainty helps develop a sense of probability and strategic thinking, what extra challenges arise in it's expanded version "Sushi Go Party!", and how utterly adorable the various sushi bar treats are. Games Mentioned: Sushi Go! and Sushi Go Party! – Fast paced and easy to learn, it's exactly what Gamewright says it is, a pick and pass card game that helps develop strategy and probability skills. Settlers of Catan – A classic game of building and trading. Civilization - Avalon Hill's game balancing regional conquest with technological development and trade.

Rarely has a game been as deeply, frighteningly cynical as Imperial. We are sadly inured to the notion of vast military conflicts; and we are sadly inured to the corrupting influence of enormous wealth; but never before has a game combined the two and posited the Schlieffen Plan as a gambit to improve the marginal rate of return of someone's portfolio.

We have been playing Gamewright games for years, but they're on our mind because we just participated in a Game Night fundraiser (listen to episode 88 if you're curious how the fundraisers work).

A sneaky fox has taken Mrs. Plumpert's prize pot pie. Four chickens must join forces and uncover the clues to identify which fox or vixen made away with the pleasing pastry become the fox returns to its hole. This week, Laura and Chris continue their Month of Mystery with "Outfoxed", a cooperative whoodnnit game from Gamewright. They discuss the distinctions between spectacles and pince nez, the value of figuring out clues as a team, and why this game really is fun for the whole family. Special guest, Alexander, aged 5, joins us to explain the rules. Games Mentioned: Outfoxed - A fun, cooperative game that can be played with nearly everyone. Here's a good playthrough video, though there is a small difference in how the Thief Card is presented. It looks like the earlier game used red and green dots, rather than green dots or blank spaces. This is probably an alteration to make the game less confusing for those with red-green color blindness. If you buy a used copy, that may be an issue. King of Tokyo - Monsters, robots, and aliens fight to be the King of Tokyo. Monster Trap - This cute cooperative game has a similar premise, stop the monster before it can get to the farm to steal a sheep, but in this game the players must construct traps to slow the monster on its way to the farm. Clue - This is the current version of the game. Mostly similar to the original, but a magnifying glass option allows players to gain hints. Can't see the links?

We've always been here. Waiting, in this basement, yelling into the can. When we invented podcasts all those years ago it was merely as avenue for our pre-existing subterranean discourse. Now some of you have joined us, and our labours are no longer in vain. Once the power dies out, we'll still be here, yelling into the can. About boardgames.

Episode 151: A Qwixx Episode Length: 48:54 Show Links: RSS | iTunes | Stitcher | Download Episode Welcome back to Vox Republica, the Cardboard Republic Podcast! We post new episodes every other Thursday, with each episode being about 45 minutes long. Vox Republica is proudly supported by our Patreon. Consider contributing today! DESCRIPTION: This week, Erin and Ryan recover from their giant Gen Con episode by reviewing…probably one of the smallest games they have - Qwixx! They also talk about BFiG and some prototypes! GUEST: None RECENTLY PLAYED GAMES - (0:53): The Networks: Executives by Formal Ferret Games (BGG Link) Cerebria by Mindclash Games (BGG Link) QUICK TOPICS – (21:48): The Boston Festival of Indie Games is coming up on September 23rd. We’ll be there playing games and presenting an award. If you’re in the Boston Area, swing by and say hello! REVIEW - (26:16): Qwixx is a small, speedy roll-and-write game from Gamewright. Over the course of about 15-20 minutes, 2-5 players take turns rolling dice and crossing numbers off their player sheets, but there’s still a bit of strategy involved. A little bit. If you choose the wrong numbers to scratch out, you’re doomed to lock yourself out of valuable options down the road. If you play too conservatively, though, you’re going to struggle to keep up. We build up a consensus on who this accessible, portable dice chucking game and who should roll on to other things instead. (Note: if you don't see pictures below, you can view them via the RSS feed or clicking this link.) A standard Qwixx scorepad, with Red and Yellow in ascending numerical order and Blue and Green in descending order With this dice roll, any player may choose to cross out a six on any of their four tracks The active player chooses to pair the 2 white die with the blue die and crosses out Blue 6 A player's final score of 88 points PLUGS - (48:22): We’re raffling off a copy of Go Nuts For Donuts to a lucky Patreon backer.

On Episode #70 of The Party Gamecast featuring the Party Game Cast, Bruce is joined by Mike, Rocki, Bryan and Chris to talk about the book related games Mad Libs: the Game from Looney Labs and Bring Your Own Book from Gamewright. What the Food (sponsored by Steamworks Coffee at steamworkscoffee.net) We talk about a philly delicacy called Irish Potato Candy, and Cadbury Creme Eggs Cookies. We also go in depth about one of our sponsors coffee blends. Mad Libs: the Game From Looney Labs we talk about this fill in the blank game, that might be just a little too much like the books it is trying to emulate. Bring Your Own Book From Gamewright Games is this party game that requires each player to have a book, yes like a real book, like you find in a library. Listen to our review to see if its worth not looking at an electronic device for a few minutes. Thanks for listening!

COMMENTS FROM BOARD GAME GEEK STRONG STUFF Our first game, from the fine folks at Haba games, involved balancing blocks on a bears head. RING-O FLAMINGO Our next game from Gamewright is a mix of Hungry Hungry Hippos and a Ring Toss from the country fair. CRASH CUP A racing/bumper car game with a very unique dexterity element CASTLE KNIGHTS A rare co-op dexterity game, that involves building castles with a hair tie (near as we can tell).

Dragon Age Podcast Episode 21 - We Thought It Would Be A Short One Our first real episode of the new year turned out much longer than expected, even after some serious cuts were made. Topics include the holidays, Dragon Age 2, tons of other games, and tons of other random things that seem to work their way into conversation. Our feature this time around is an interview with Shodushi, a Dragon Age modder, about his upcoming mod World of Grone. Enjoy.

We return to the bizarre cant of Letterkenny, invoking specifically the term "ferda," which is a contraction of "for the boys/girls." It is a great way to punctuate a sentence, especially if you do not wish to be understood--but that is true of all cant. Relatedly, if you haven't already, please do peruse our own glossary on sowronggames.com!

No cats were harmed during the recording of this episode. Official SVWAG cat Chandler (aka Potato aka Chan-Chan aka The Chan-Man) had his dignity challenged when Mark laughed at his strange partially-shaved body, but we don't think that counts. Official SVWAG dog Bruno (aka The Dog) resents human non-walk activities, but again, that probably doesn't count. The editorial gibbons and the HR gibbons colluded to classify Mark and Walker as "sub-animal automated speakboxes" and then took Labour Day off.Games Played Last Week:01:10 -Marshmallow Test (Reiner Knizia, Gamewright, 2020)03:30 -Amun-Re: 20th Anniversary Edition (Reiner Knizia, Alley Cat Games, 2023)05:52 -Everything Ever (Nathan Thornton, Floodgate Games, 2023)10:28 -Sushi Boat (Dario Massarenti and Francesco Testini, Japanime Games, 2023)14:49 -Fit to Print (Peter McPherson, Flatout Games, 2023)20:58 -That's Not a Hat (Kasper Lapp, Ravensburger, 2023)22:18 -Lunar Rush (Steven "Skippy" Brown, Dead Alive Games, 2023)29:03 -Aegean Sea (Carl Chudyk, Asmadi Games, 2023)37:16 -Lacuna (Mark Gerrits, CMYK, 2023)News (and why it doesn't matter):39:08 Snow Planner--dice worker-placement ski resort39:48 Rats of Wistar by Simone Luciani and Danilo Sabia41:09 David Thompson and Nils Johansson's Battle Card42:46 Apology--Aegean Sea cannot be a feature game43:45 Feature Game: Race to the Raft (Frank West, The City of Games, 2023)Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
Mark's enthusiasm for Dungeon Scrawlers is telling. Whereas most children enjoy mazes, drawing, or even colouring, Mark instead as a child enjoyed the programmatic, deterministic mundanity of connect-the-dots. Straight(ish) lines and ascending natural numbers only, please. No doubt at a similar age Walker was already pursuing his jock/theatre kid synthesis, doing a number from Gilbert & Sullivan as his endzone dance after scoring a touchdown. 01:13 AYURIS: Soldiers in Postmen's Uniforms (David Thompson, Dan Verssen Games, 2021)Games Played Last Week:03:32 -Tindaya (Lolo González, Red Mojo, 2022)06:41 -Radiant: Offline Battle Arena (Jack Murray, Heel Turn Games, 2019)09:07 -Formula D (Laurent Lavaur & Eric Randall, Asmodee, 2008)12:15 -Undaunted: Battle of Britain (Trevor Benjamin and David Thompson, Osprey Games, 2023)16:39 -Orléans (Reiner Stockhausen, dlp Games, 2014)18:48 -Witchcraft!
