Hey hey BATT Family! Welcome to our series of reviews for the brand new, small box IV Studios games. In this review we'll be taking a look at Graft, the new small box drafting and push your luck game from IV Studios set in the world of another of their games, the soon to be released Tend. While you can very much see the threads connecting the two games together if you've played them - essentially the card rows you'll be building in Graft are the manifest that you assemble by stamping in Tend - you certainly do not need to play one to know the other. Graft is the much, much lighter and shorter game for 3-5 players and will take you about 30 minutes per session. We were provided this copy by IV and as such this is a sponsored review of the deluxe edition of the game that will be available at Gen Con later this week.  --- This episode's segments: 00:00:00 - Intro 00:00:54 - How the Game Plays 00:07:22 - Learning Curve / Ease of Teach 00:09:29 - Artwork / Components / Iconography 00:12:43 - Solo Mode / Player Count / Replayability 00:15:08 - What's to Like, What's to Dislike  00:18:13 - Recommendations 00:19:18 - Final Thoughts  00:21:57 - Outro ---   Notes! 1) Once more, you can find IV Studios at Booth 2239 at Gen Con and the game will be releasing at $30.  --- You can email us at boardallthetimegaming@gmail.com. We can be found at www.boardallthetime.com and on Facebook at Board All The Time.  We're on BlueSky now and loving it!

Hey hey BATT Family! Welcome to our series of reviews for the brand new, small box IV Studios games. In this review we'll be taking a look at Pillars of Fate. Pillars of Fate is the new 2 player only game in the Veiled Fate series of games from IV. This game is a lane battler that will have players placing cards within 3 lanes over the course of 3 rounds called ages. This game will be using all of the characters as introducted between Veiled Fate and it's Tribunal expansion and maintain the Scorpion/Feather structure that you may be used to from those games. While you do not have to have played the other two games in the series, having the familiarity of them and how they operate will make onboarding with this game much easier. A game of Pillars of Fate will take you about 30 minutes per session. We were provided this copy by IV and as such this is a sponsored review of the deluxe edition of the game that will be available at Gen Con later this week.  --- This episode's segments: 00:00:00 - Intro 00:00:55 - How the Game Plays 00:08:07 - Learning Curve / Ease of Teach 00:09:35 - Artwork / Components / Iconography 00:12:44 - Solo Mode / Player Count / Replayability 00:14:21 - What's to Like, What's to Dislike  00:18:22 - Recommendations 00:20:31 - Final Thoughts  00:21:57 - Outro ---   Notes! 1) Once more, you can find IV Studios at Booth 2239 at Gen Con and the game will be releasing at $30.  --- You can email us at boardallthetimegaming@gmail.com.

Hey hey BATT Family! Welcome to our series of reviews for the brand new, small box IV Studios games. In this review we'll be taking a look at Time to Panic. In Time to Panic, you're trying to repair a shattered timeline in this fully cooperative game for 1-4 players, taking approximately 30-45 minutes per session. Your goal is to fully align a series of cards numbered 1-36 into as correct of an order as possible.

Hey hey BATT Family! Welcome to our review for Vantage. This is not a sponsored review, but Jason and I were provided our copies of the game as compensation for working the booth at GenCon. We refer to this within the episode itself, but to be clear we were given the game to learn and play so that we could accurately teach it at GenCon. Stonemaier did not ask for this review and we did get permission to do this ahead of time just in case. Regardless! We like the game quite a bit. If you're concerned about any spoilers here, we drop our scores within the first few minutes before explaining anything at all about the game so that way you don't have to worry about that. We actually managed to not spoil any of the content through our discussions but we also get that certain audiences don't want to know anything beyond the basic dice/card interactions before opening the box and we wanted to respect that. Vantage is a huge open world sandbox game comprised of over 1700 cards for 1-6 players and was designed by Jamey Stegmaier over the course of eight years. Come crash land on the planet with us to learn what we thought about the game and then once you've gotten to do so let us know your opinions on it at boardallthetimegaming@gmail.com! --- This episode's segments: 00:00:00 - Intro / Scores / Non-Spoiler Comments 00:03:08 - How the Game Plays 00:10:25 - Learning Curve / Ease of Teach 00:15:01 - Artwork / Components / Iconography 00:22:58 - Replayability / Player Count / Solo Mode 00:30:12 - What's to Like, What's to Dislike  00:53:01 - Final Thoughts  00:56:29 - Outro ---   Notes! 1) Jason definitely jumped in and helped me explain the game a bit because of how late things were when we recorded and I just started forgetting a couple of key things. So thanks for the assist Jason! 2) Around the 40 minute mark you can just hear Mark's 4 year old moviung around in the background for a couple minutes. It's not loud but it is there, so sorry about that. The joys of having a basement studio. 3) Scott was around for this entire recording session. He just let Jason and I go nuts and didn't have much additional to add beyond what we all said. --- You can email us at boardallthetimegaming@gmail.com.

Hey hey BATT Family! GenCon 2025 is ONE WEEK AWAY! That means that it is perfect timing to get out the GenCon preview list. We recorded this list on July 9th when there were 499 games on the list. While another 70 or so were added since then, we're all still extremely happy with our lists and will still be looking for these games in particular. Scott, Jason, and Mark have all gathered to make sure that we're telling you about 30 different games that we are excited to check out and hopefully bring home from the con in one way or another. We hope that you enjoy this episode and you let us know what you're looking forward to on BlueSky or by emailing us at boardallthetimegaming@gmail.com. As a reminder, Mark and Jason will be teaching Vantage at the Stonemaier/MeepleSource booth at location 2909 this year and Scott will be demoing it in the play hall not too far away on Thursday and Friday mornings.

The game being discussed is "Escape from the Moon". 2) Scott failed to correctly say the name of his number eight! We were on fire at this point, but in our defense it was almost 2am when we started recording all this! His number eight is actually Gibberers from Hobby Japan. 3) Mark has since played Zenith. IT'S SO, SO GOOD GUYS. 4) We've gotten some preview copies of Pillars of Fate and the other retail IV games that you'll be getting reviews of VERY SHORTLY. Mark likes Pillars A LOT. It's a good thing too, because he's gotta pick up the copy he already bought! --- You can email us at boardallthetimegaming@gmail.com.
