Original Show notes to follow in full context to the original Airing date of August 1st 2018. Main Show Notes: Happy Birthday!: The Spoken Token is 2 years old this episode! Since we have a big shindig with our friends at GamePoint Cafe for GenCant 2018 in just a few days, all of our big giveaways are going to be there! And so are we! Thank you so much for coming along with us and we look forward to year three and beyond!! Asmodee sold itself! What does this portend for board games worldwide? We dive a little bit into a topic that we will revisit!! Who is killing it? A list of companies who we each believe has been doing an amazing job in the last 12 months and one company who has done a horrible job in the last 12 months. Fighting the Cult…of the New: What older games should you revisit that are at least 5 years old? So many titles deserve your time that are not considered “Classics” yet, Alex and Larry take a look. Does the Spiel des Jahres matter outside of Germany? With their requirements to being legitimately published in the German market, is it really the best game of the year worldwide, or are we just recognizing it because that is what we have been doing? We discuss ideas and offer some thoughts on a solution or alternative to enhance this hallowed event in Board Gaming.

This is the second part of my interview with AJ where we talk more about Graphic Novel Adventures, GenCon 2018, and what we have to look forward to from Van Ryder Games. Enjoy.
In this fun episode of Go Forth And Game I talk to AJ Porfirio of Van Ryder Games. It's been a good while since we spoke last so there is a lot to catch up on. Like Hostage Negotiator, The Big Score, and Detective:City of Angels. But the focus of the show is on VRG's newest - Graphic Novel Adventures. These are Choose Your Own Adventure type solo games in a graphic novel format and they are fantastic! This is a good show. I know you will like it. This is part one of this interview so be sure to join us next week for part two.
Our massive, multi-part GenCon recap rolls on! This week, we have some games that are heavily soaked in story and narrative. If you are looking to engage your family and/ or game group in some immersive experiences, we have some good picks for you. First, Anthony talks about Spy Club (3:20), a card-based game where you act as Nancy Drew-esque kid crime solvers, tracking down suspects and righting wrongs in your own home town. Anthony and Jason come down on surprisingly different sides of the fence for that one. Jason then describes and compares Z-Man Games Choose Your Own Adventure: House of Danger with the Graphic Novel Adventures from Van Ryder Games (13:35). They both cover the same ground, but do so in very different ways and for different audiences. Finally, Anthony chimes back in and talks about Detective: A Modern Crime Story from Portal Games (22:51). Comparing all of these experiences led both of us to discuss the broader nature of theme in games - what does "theme" actually mean, what makes a game truly thematic, etc. We didn't plan to have that conversation at all, so it felt really organic and exciting to discuss something near and dear to our hearts (well, at least one of us...).
Adam, Chad and Ryan discuss bidding and the auction mechanic in board games, breaking down the different types of auctions and what they add to the games that use the mechanic. They announce the winner of the #OnlyAzul giveaway contest and also discuss some of the things they heard about regarding GenCon 2018. The feature game got the episode is classic game Power Grid, there is a small addition to the segment "Adam Struggles to like Twilight Struggle" and the boys talk about Skip Bo, The Lost Expedition, some of the Graphic Novel Adventures, and what they want to play in the future.
This week Sydnie joins Chris, in the car, to talk about their adventures at Origins 2018. They talk about games they demoed (One Week Werewolf, The Mind, Heads will roll, Cursed Court, and Welcome To...) and games they bought (Vast, Century Eastern Wonders, Graphic Novel Adventures, and Larklamp). And if that's not enough they even talk about a few games they play tested.

In this more streamlined episode Chris, Darrell, and TC decide to just talk about some games they've been playing, their gaming habits, and whether they get to game enough or too much. All this, plus first-hand accounts of Fireball Island gameplay, the madness of seeing A Quiet Place in the theater, plays of Captive from Graphic Novel Adventures, Star Wars: Destiny, joys of dice drafting, Feudum, Majesty: For the Realm, and, of course, camels.
Unlike most preview series episodes where we interview the designer or publisher, we were not able to get AJ Porfirio of Van Ryder Games on the show due to his being incredible busy. However, two good friends of the show stepped up to have a great chat about this product - Official ENGN Kickstarter correspondent Liz Davidson, as well as Wendy Barlow from the Singlehandedly blog. Did you love choose-your-own-adventure novels as a kid, or adventure video games like Broken Sword or Monkey Island? The Graphic Novel Adventure series, currently live in Kickstarter, takes those experiences and presents them in a whole new way! Wendy, Liz and I were fortunate to be provided preview copies Captive, the first of five novels available for backing. We talk about the books as a whole, compare them to similar games and products, and also our spoiler-free impressions of Captive. Stay tuned after the outro music if you want to hear us go full bore on spoilers, as well!
