DESCRIPTION: There are themes and then there are themes. And then there are themes. But...what if those are all the same game? This week, Erin and Ryan talk about reskinning games. When is it worth it and when is it a money grab? Can it be both?

FEATURED TOPIC - (23:10): A reskin is when you take an existing game and either change the mechanics very little (or not at all) but give it a new setting, theme, etc. We parse through several areas of their existence, including areas such as? Why are reskins even a thing? Are there any equivalents in other industries? What’s the difference between adaptation and reskin? Why do publishers reskin a game? When is a reskin worth it and when is it a cash grab? What about reskins that bring a game in line with an existing IP? How do consumers feel about reskins generally?

I am joined by Daniel Newman, Chip Beauvais (and his daughter Eve), Chris Anderson and Jason Greeno in our very first roundtable version of Design Diary. We discuss the word "subjugation", which was submitted by @BLMachine on twitter.Definition:1 : to bring under control and governance as a subject : conquer2 : to make submissive : subdueA few quick notes: This was the first time doing this, and my first time using my son's GoPro head mount.

If you have any suggestions, please let us know.http://buttonshy.com/designdiary/DDR01-Subjugation.mp3

The 80th episode of the podcast is a weird one. My family has disappeared and I don't know where they went. Please, someone find them and make them play games with me. Seriously though, we haven't played games in over two weeks, so Erin and Tyler get a recording reprieve. For guests, though, Craig is joined by Kimberly Revia from The Cubist and Granite Game Summit and Ruth Boyack from the 5 By Games Podcast. In their chat, the three of them discuss building your own con and the work that goes into it being a successful venture. If you've ever wanted to have your own gig, at home or elsewhere, tune in for the sweet deets.  Show Times:  Intro: 0:17 3rd Segment with Kimberly and Ruth: 4:16 Wrap-Up: 57:02 Punchboard Media Stinger: 59:37

Episode 140: On The Case! Length: 1:09:09 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: It's been a busy and chaotic month or so, between new digs, new gigs, local conventions, and localized pathogens. But we're making up for that now! This episode Erin and Ryan discuss the Granite Game Summit and review Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective: Jack the Ripper & West End Adventures! GUEST: None RECENTLY PLAYED GAMES - (02:01): Terraforming Mars by Stronghold Games (BGG Link) Sagrada by Floodgate Games (BGG Link) The Manhattan Project: Energy Empire by Minion Games (BGG Link) World Monuments by Queen Games (BGG Link) Mexica by Super Meeple / IELLO (BGG Link) Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective: Jack the Ripper & West End Adventures by Space Cowboys (BGG Link) FEATURED TOPIC – (18:54): April 2017 saw the first multi-day attempt of the Granite Game Summit in Nashua, NH, and we were front and center for attending! Yes, after a couple one-day events in 2016, the troupe at G2S decided to try their hand at a 3-day con. We recap our thoughts and experiences from the inaugural event. REVIEW - (30:22): The original Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective first burst onto the gaming scene in 1981 and has circulated in some form ever since. Yet an updated reprint in the last couple years gave rise to renewed interest in the classic game by a whole new generation of gamers. This recent standalone expansion (Jack the Ripper & West End Adventures) is a continuation of that trend. It contains six updated cases from the original West End Adventures expansion, as well as four brand new cases in the form of the Jack the Ripper series, which unlike any past cases, are all tied together and have a cap on how many actions you can take. In this narrative-driven game of mystery solving, each playthrough consists of a single case upon which players must collectively solve. To do this, everyone takes turns moving about Victorian London gathering story clues, interviewing witnesses, and inspecting crime scenes, all in the hopes of figuring out the whodunnit before Sherlock does (at least in theory). Prepare to be taken all over London as you chase leads and deal with dead ends, each of which is represented by storybook elements read aloud that correspond to the people and places you decide to visit. The combined effect is a co-op based literary puzzle that will appeal to those who love solving mysteries or those who appreciate a well-executed thematic setting (though not necessarily both groups at the same time). With an abundance of flavor and plenty to explore, Consulting Detective provides ten story-centric sleuthing experiences definitely worth checking out, even if playthroughs can take longer than advertised, can ony be played once, and can be a little clunky on exposition in some instances. Well, so long as you just give up on trying to best Sherlock and enjoy the world it presents to you at your own pace.

Thanks to the handy directory, we found Emmet Ogden lives at 83 EC (East Central district) Scouring East London to catch Jack the Ripper 10 Scenarios equals a many, many hours of worthwhile gaming   PLUGS - (1:08:24): We’re raffling off a copy of Overseers to a lucky Patreon backer.

Since two geeky conventions happened the same weekend, we divided and conquered. Kornflake wandered up to New Hampshire for Granite Game Summit, where she enjoyed a new game called Junk Art (but don't forget the classics, kids; we're still endlessly amused by Hungry Hungry Hippos). Meanwhile Kevin was at Super Megafest, along with the guys from Rubber Chicken Comics, the ladies of Wicked Geeky, Niki Luparelli and the Gold Diggers, "The Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart, Ralph Macchio (The Karate Kid), David Mazouz (Gotham), Richard Dean Anderson and Richard Grieco (best known for their Facts of Life backdoor pilots), Aileen Quinn (from the 1982 Annie movie, and her fun new band The Leapin' Lizards), and yes, Meat Loaf. Also: Our friends Kyle and Lindsay made a VERY quick trip to Massachusetts (because they were kidnapped by Kornflake) for water aerobics, brunch, and butterflies. (You're all watching Kyle's new cartoon series Mighty Magiswords, right? RIGHT?) And it's National Cookie Monster Day, which is good enough for us.

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 we return from our fall mini-break refreshed and ready to go. We start off by chatting about a small handful of the many games played recently, chat about our recent past and future convention plans, and then sit down with Ignacy Trzewiczek, head of Portal Games, to talk about the processes he goes through when designing games. GUESTS: Ignacy Trzewiczek RECENTLY PLAYED GAMES - (01:49): Clank! by Renegade Game Studios & Dire Wolf Digital Inis by Asmodee Editions / Matagot  The Guardians: Explore by Reihon Games Roll Player by Thunderworks Games QUICK TOPICS - (26:06): We chat about the next Granite Game Summit in a few weeks - Halloween Edition. If you're in the area, consider coming on down! Ryan explains The Pantheon of Meeples. Oh, and there's our first meeting of Board Game Club! We recap some of the highlights from the 2016 Boston Festival of Indie Games, including memorable games and our presentation of one of the Figgie awards. FEATURED TOPIC - (38:32): With a dozen or so memorable, well-received games under its belt and a self-assured designer at the helm, it's crazy to think that Portal Games is less than a decade old. The biggest reason for their success rests with the fundamental design philosophy of Ignacy Trzewiczek that board games should be an experience when played. He's stated numerous times in public and on his own blog the importance of this focus in everything they create. Today we sit down with him to go into that idea in more detail, include areas like: How important Robinson Crusoe was to Portal's initial success and instant reputation.  Why theme for him always comes before mechanics. And where that philosophy came from The purpose of his Board Games That Tell Stories blog Both his first and second books emerged from it How his background in GMing RPGs influenced First Martians Why he keeps a journal on most games he play What his two most influential games are on his design process   PLUGS - (1:16:16): To celebrate Ignacy's participation and the Halloween season, we're raffling off a copy of Tides of Madness to a lucky Patreon backer.

Episode 118: A Quarriors Qretrospective Length: 1:02:54 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: Fresh off attending a new local game convention, Erin and Ryan talk about the excitement that surrounds the foundation of a new con. Then, after talking about a few of the many games played lately, they move from the present to the past by doing a retrospective review on the innovative dice drafting game Quarriors. Is it still good now? Was it good then? Let's find out! GUEST: None RECENTLY PLAYED GAMES - (01:15): Scoville Labs by Tasty Minstrel Games Dr. Eureka by Blue Orange Games Powerpuff Girls: Saving The World Before Bedtime by Hasbro Lords of Waterdeep by Wizards of the Coast Anachrony by Mindclash Games QUICK TOPICS - (20:27): We attended the inaugural launch of the first Granite Game Summit, a new New England-based gaming convention! REVIEW - (27:13): Quarriors is a 2011 release from WizKids for 2-4 players that focuses on the idea of 'dice drafting'. Set in a fantasy world, you play as warriors who must ready spells and summon creatures to fight for you on the field of battle. You do this Each turn by drawing six dice from your bag and rolling them. From there you spend your rolled resources assigning on assigning monsters and buying new recruits. It’s essentially a deck-building game in dice form, so you spend a lot of the game attempting to get more dice to improve your rolls. Innovative when it first came out, we take a look back and see if it holds up today - and whether it ever did in the first place. (Note: if you don't see pictures below, you can view them via the RSS feed or clicking this link.) All the Quarriors snugged in tightly A Quarrior Qreature Qard A typical Quarriors setup This player can spend 3 of their 4 Quiddity to ready both of their monster dice The player only has enough resources to either summon their Wizard or buy a new Ghost Having survived the round, this Goblin scores 2 Glory (VP) The Quarriors Qlan family photo   PLUGS - (1:02:07): We previewed Anachrony, the time-traveling worker placement game, currently on Kickstarter We reviewed Apotheca, the light set-matching tile game.
