Ep.138 is here! come take a listen as we tell you all about Heading Forward from Hollandspiele. Heading Forward is a game by Jon Du Bois that is all based on his recovery from Traumatic Brain Injury. This solo game is one Hayley and I played together as a team and knew we needed to have an episode on it. We tell you all about it before diving into a topic about games that elicit empathy. We end the show with telling you how we feel, along with a very dumb joke from Hayley(what's new?). Be sure to like, share, and subscribe!

Not every game needs to be four huge boxes full of other boxes and plastic. Some can be delightfully simple games... with boxes that are too big due to crowdfunding. Other games could be underappreciated Reiner Knizia classics brought to a new underappreciating audience! Via, I guess, the medium of crowdfunding. Hm. I suppose I don't have a point, except that we, like pearls before swine or a Knizia before a gamer, are ungrateful contradictory ingrates.Games Played Last Week:01:58 -Meadow (Klemens Kalicki, Rebel Studio, 2021)07:26 -Chronicles of Avel (Przemek Wojtkowiak, Rebel Studio, 2021)10:42 -Massive Darkness 2: Hellscape (Alex Olteanu & Marco Portugal, CMON, 2022)13:36 -Noli (Jack Caesar & Alessio Cavatore, River Horse Ltd., 2022)18:40 -Barrage: The Leeghwater Project (Tommaso Battista & Simone Luciani, Cranio Creations, 2019)22:30 -Stephenson's Rocket (Reiner Knizia, Pegasus Spiele, 1999)25:19 -The Mirroring of Mary King (Jim Felli, Devious Weasel Games, 2022)29:05 -Oathsworn: Into the Deepwood (Jamie Jolly, Shadowborne Games, 2022)36:23 -Siege of Mantua (Amabel Holland, Hollandspiele, 2022)News (and why it doesn't matter):41:01 Friedemann Friese's Findorff41:46 SLightly more HeroScape news on Hasbro Pulse43:50 Revive by Aporta Games44:40 Feature Game: It's a Wonderful World (Frédéric Guérard, La Boîte de Jeu, 2019) and It's a Wonderful Kingdom (Frédéric Guérard, La Boîte de Jeu, 2021)

Amabel Holland has one of the most varied design catalogs, having created train games, dinosaur games, wargames, and unapologetically weird games. She is also one half of the creative force behind the publisher Hollandspiele. We discuss her catalogue, the upcoming Siege of Mantua and much much more. 

Much art is discussed this week, from French Romantics, to pirate stuff, to conspiracist vision boards, to whatever Walker is doing when he uses clothespins on felt. Mark wonders whether he can justify leaving in dead air and calling it "bold use of negative space," but the deeper worry is that too many people would prefer the silence.

5 November 2021 ~ Hey y’all!  It’s Amabel from Hollandspiele joining us! …

Erica and Gil are delighted to welcome designer Amabel Holland of Hollandspiele, known for making games with challenging themes using an unconventional publishing model.  SHOW NOTES 0m58s: Supply Lines of the American Revolution, Table Battles, Irish Gauge, This Guilty Land, Nicea, The Vote. 7m08s: Amabel is talking about her forthcoming game Eyelet. 15m02s: This is Geoff's game Versailles 1919, co-designed with Mark Herman. 17m28s: Benedict Arnold 18m34s: The Shackleton Expedition 21m16s: The Vote 28m22s: Nicea 31m38s: Irish Gauge, Northern Pacific, Iberian Gauge 32m29s: Winsome, Rio Grande 34m23s: Chicago Express 34m55s: Meltwater, An Infamous Traffic 36m11s: RIBBIT: The Jump, Move, and Block Game, Table Battles 38m51s: New Mill 43m45s: Westphalia 48m18s: Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae 49m52s: Cheapass Games 53m46s: Tobacco misinformation campaign 54m37s: Gil was thinking of Brandolini's Law, aka the BS Asymmetry Principle. 57m55s: Horse & Musket 59m03s: Deinocheirus, Pterodactyl, Therizinosaurus

Los conflictos modernos, especialmente los de los últimos cincuenta años, se alejan en su mayoría del concepto de guerra convencional, en que dos estados bien definidos se enfrentan para defender sus intereses o ambiciones. El conflicto más habitual y mucho más complejo, desde el punto de vista estratégico y de definición de objetivos, es aquel en que facciones insurgentes se enfrentan a fuerzas convencionales, sin frentes definidos, con actos terroristas, de sabotaje y con gran implicación de la población civil, voluntaria o a su pesar. La serie COIN de GMT ha sido en los últimos años la gran referencia a la hora de abordar en un juego de mesa estos conflictos. Pero hoy Albert e Iván (@estrategasofa en Twitter) nos hablarán de otra serie sobre contra-insurgencia que ha tenido el valor de hacer dudar a Albert de su pasión por los COIN: la serie District Commander, de Brian Train, editada por Hollandspiele. Tal y como se indica en el episodio, los audios de terceros incluidos en el mismo lo son bajo los acuerdos de Ivoox con la SGAE.

Game designer and publisher Amabel Holland joins us to talk about some of her games, how she is able to design so many games, what she is working on now (August 2020), and what she values in game design and production. We also talk about her game company that she owns with her wife Mary - Hollandspiele. Games we talk about in this episode:Irish Gauge, Iberian Gauge, This Guilty Land, The Field of the Cloth of Gold, Dinosaur Table Battles, Catan, Westphalia, Supply Lines of the American Revolution, Martian Rails, Iron Dragon, Caylus, El Grande, Tigris and Euphrates, Shadows in the Weald, High Speed Hover Tank, and Escape from Hades. 

Gil and Sen welcome Calvin Wong Tze Loon 黃子倫 to the show to discuss narrative in games. How can we improve a game's narrative through its mechanisms, its components, and even its box size?

Sedmnáctý díl o hře Battles on the Ice v systému Shields & Swords II od Toma Russella a Hollandspiele.https://hollandspiele.com/products/battles-on-the-ice

Tom Russell stops by for a chat about all things Hollandspiele.  We talk about the genesis of the company, some of their business model, the kinds of niche games they target (and what they avoid), and how they handle “inventory”.  Doug also joins us to chime in on some of the work he’s done with...

Doug & Jim join us to talk about Hollandspiele’s Horse & Musket series, on which Doug is the developer.  We talk about researching the orders of battle, why the period is so fascinating, the occasional goofs that designers can make, and how a word processor is a weapon of mass destruction, among other things. However, we...

For my money Tom Russell is one of the most interesting, thoughtful game designers working. For 90 minutes we go deep into his design process, what he hopes to accomplish with his games, the strategy behind Hollandspiele, and what he considers his best work ever: This Guilty Land.  1:40 - Tom's Introduction to Board Gaming11:08 - Starting in Design20:49 - Publishing and Hollandspiele29:03 - Design Process and How Do You Make So Many Games?46:36 - Irish Gauge48:42 - The Soo Line55:24 - For-Ex1:06:07 - This Guilty Land1:15:56 - What is a Wargame?

The Peter Principle observes that people tend to get promoted to their level of incompetence. Namely if someone does a job well, they'll be promoted, until such time as they cease doing a job well and persist at that level of ineptitude. We mention this not because it accurately describes the arc of Mark's life both professionally and personally--which, let's face it, it does--but rather because we have decided to promote the AYURIS from off-hand remark into Full Fledged Segment (AYURIS, FFS [tm]). Time stamp and everything!

Constant vigilance is the price of audio quality, and we apologize for how badly that struggle has been going of late. Walker prostrates himself before the altar of Bars, and Bars we achieve, but the nature of those Bars have been fickle.

Constant vigilance is the price of audio quality, and we apologize for how badly that struggle has been going of late. Walker prostrates himself before the altar of Bars, and Bars we achieve, but the nature of those Bars have been fickle. Their shape and pattern cannot be properly contained or channeled, and thus they spurn us and assault your ears.

Peer influence is a strange thing. For years Mark has been yelling at Walker about various ways he really ought to change, but a single board game now has Walker spewing Macross lore like he's a convert. Perhaps the authors like Erin Lee Escobedo have a point, and board games really can serve to deliver subtle yet powerful influence.

http://conflictsimulations.com/2018/08/20/harold-on-games-podcast-11-with-mary-and-tom-of-hollandspiele-notes THIS podcast is singularly composed of an interview with game company owners developers and designers, Mary and Tom. We will discuss what is coming next from everyone’s favorite little game company. Since all three of us were miced for this recording, I used an experimental method to record my voice. My voice is hard to hear but the great content comes from Tom and Mary so I went ahead and posted the best version I could produce. Mary and Tom met in the late nineties and became friends over our shared love of film and science fiction. They started dating and were married several years after. They got into hobby gaming in 2010. Tom worked as a freelance designer, eventually shifting his focus from euro games to wargames. In 2015, Mary started working for Tiny Battle Publishing, overseeing the production and development of their first fifteen titles before leaving to focus on getting Hollandspiele off the ground. In 2016, they launched Hollandspiele and in the two years since they’ve released over thirty games. Thanks to the Visalia, California based band Slow Season for the intro and outro music. Check them out Facebook, Spotify and iTunes. Also, thank you to the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra for their rendition of The Legend of Zelda - Suite

Dexterity games, dismissed by many in the board game world as children's toys (whereas, by contrast, we laud them as children's toys), can offer a unique window into the player's soul. A fine dexterity game is a crucible in which one's true character emerges. Are you an assertive, grandiose table-hog capable of great feats but undone by hubris? Are you a small-minded, plodding dilettante lacking in ambition or imagination?
