That's just Midwest accent, but you tomato/tomato yourself on that if he's wrong or not. 2) Not long after that, Mark does mention the solo mode and it's designer without referencing their name. The solo mode was designed by David Digby, not by Kirsten Lunde who did the main game.  --- You can email us at boardallthetimegaming@gmail.com.

In episode 106 of Game Design Unboxed: Inspiration to Publication we talk with Jason Slingerland about his co-design Tír na nÓg. When Jason started designing in 2012 there weren't many resources for designers so he started the Building the Game podcast with a friend. He used the podcast to help himself and other designers learn more about games, the industry and design. Through the years Jason gained experience and had his 9th game Tír na nÓg released with Grand Gamers Guild. The game used a straddle draft mechanic mixed with different scoring mechanics to form a great entry-level game. It was used by the publisher to test Gamefound's crowdfunding platform and had a decent first print run but it sold out quickly thanks to reviewers which caused them to quickly put a second print run onto Kickstarter with extra content!    Featuring:  Jason Slingerland - Guest  Danielle Reynolds - Host

In this episode, we save Christmas and a lot of other holidays from potential catastrophe in Holiday Hijinks! Holiday Hijinks is a line of 18-card holiday-themed escape room games designed and illustrated by Jonathan Chaffer and published by Grand Gamers Guild. Each one offers the cooperative puzzle solving of an escape room in just 18 cards. There are nine games in the series currently, with names like The Cupid Crisis, The Turkey Trial, and The Groundhog Gambit. The newest Holiday Hijinks games -- The Leprechaun Larceny, The New Year Nightmare, and The Krampus Caper -- are now crowdfunding on Kickstarter, along with a collector's box that stores all 12 games. This episode features an interview with Holiday Hijinks designer and illustrator Jonathan Chaffer. What does it take to pack this much escape room fun in 18 cards? Will the Holiday Hijinks series run out of holidays? Jonathan pulls back the curtain on this clever game series in his interview.Links:Back the newest Holiday Hijinks games on Kickstarter.Order the original Holiday Hijinks games from Game Gamers Guild.Order a First Player Token coffee mug.Visit the First Player Token website.Join the FPT Facebook group.Follow @firstplayertoken on Bluesky.Join the Family Tabletop Community on Discord.Music:"Open Road," "The Concept," and "Summer in Paradise" by Purple Planet.Send us a text

Welcome BATT Family to Episode 10 - The Top Ten Thematic Games! This is an odd episode for us at this point, because this was actually recorded fairly early into the production run but we needed to get Jake in to be able to record. So this one actually happened before we upgraded our equipment and had enough mics to support a guest appropriately. There will be some odd table thumps that don't occur anymore and the like, but ultimately none of us would change the picks we made. It was a great conversation and we really hope that you liked having Jake on as well. Let us know what your favourite thematic games are in our Discord or by emailing us at boardallthetimegaming@gmail.com! This episode's segments: 00:00:00 - Heads Up 00:00:54 - Intro / Welcome Jake! 00:02:22 - Criterion for List 00:06:03 - Tens  00:10:16 - Nines 00:17:21 - Eights  00:24:17 - Sevens 00:32:43 - Sixes  00:39:55 - Fives 00:51:05 - Fours 00:54:26 - Threes 01:03:33 - Twos 01:11:29 - Ones 01:22:24 - Wrap Up 01:23:17 - Plugs 01:24:25 - Outro Some notes!  1) The games that turned into KH: Perilous Pursuit were Rollers, into Rollers Deluxe, into Fantastic Beasts: Perilous Pursuit. We do all still agree that it took four swings at it to make the game into what it should have been all along and it works best in KH. 2) This was recorded prior to GenCon. That means that we hadn't had the pleasure to meet and discuss Apiary with Connie at this point and didn't realize just HOW MUCH bee knowledge and genetic variance went into basically every aspect of that game. We'd definitely have commented on that if this took place after. 3) In relation to a point Scott very confidently states, he forgot that Apiary does in fact have a(n excellent) solo mode. 4) It's ironic that we said we forgot to release a spooky season set of content and then realizing how much horror is in this one. C'est la vie! That's what happens when you don't re-listen to a 3 month old recording before recording and releasing something that felt timelier.    In the next week or so you'll be able to catch up on some promo content for both Tend from IV Studios and The Holiday Hijinks Series from Grand Gamers Guild!

Usually when I review and recommend a board game here on the podcast, I've played that game at least ten times. That way I know the game well and I know it has some staying power. That means I usually review older games, but I like to play new games, too. So here's a FIRST PLAY review of a new game that I think you might like!Today we'll take a look at Tír na nÓg, a 2024 game for designed by Isaac Shalev and Jason Slingerland and published by Grand Gamers Guild. In Tír na nÓg, we journey into a world of Celtic myths and come back with amazing stories. Coincidentally, I recently journeyed into the world of Gen Con, North America's biggest board game convention, I have come back with amazing stories, one of which is an interview with Isaac Shalev, one of the designers of Tír na nÓg.Links:Pre-order Tír na nÓg by September 5, 2024.
