A few of my past guests have suggested Cockroach Poker for a lunchtime game. I put it on my Christmas list a few years back. I never received it from friends, family, or Santa. One day while I was perusing the local game shop, there it was, hanging on a peg board. I was surprised that it was in a box that was barely four inches square. I don't know what I was expecting, but not that. I immediately took it off the peg and purchased it for $11.99. Then, it sat unplayed for a month or so. It wasn't until I was revisiting an old interview where the guest mentioned it that I remembered having bought it. I found it, took it to work, and learned to play Cockroach Poker.In Cockroach Poker, you are trying to NOT collect sets of the creepy crawly critters. However, the first to collect four of a kind, well, they LOSE. They don't win. You are trying to bluff your way to victory. Can you lie better to your friends than they can lie to you? Test out your thoughts with Jacques Zeimet's Cockroach Poker.

Today we discuss two unique party games: Yura Yura Penguin designed and published by Ryoko Yabuchi  and Ghost Blitz designed by Jacques Zeimet and published by Zoch Verlag! Yura Yura Penguin is what you'd expect if you'd put Uno, Jenga and adorable penguin artwork in a blender. The game is simple: on your turn you'll take whatever action was played by the previous player and then play a card with a matching color. You'll need to be careful though, each card action will require you to place pieces on a constantly growing tower of fowl, ice and makeshift platforms. The player that topples the iceberg, loses! Ghost Blitz on the other hand is all about pattern recognition and speed. Every round a player will reveal a card that shows multiple caricatures which correspond to objects on the table. The goal is to identify either what color and or object is missing, or what object is represented exactly. The player to guess first and grab the object gets to keep the card. Whoever has the most cards when the deck runs out wins! Learn more about Yura Yura Penguin here.

The saturation point is the point at which you can no longer dissolve a deck of cards into a bottle of water. I am told that in summer, it feels hotter than it is really is because of all the board game particles diffused throughout the air. It gets really hard to breathe sometimes--my cousin nearly choked on a cube, once. The dewpoint, I think, is the temperature at which a full copy of Catan will coalesce out of nowhere.

Today is a telling day in the annals of SVWAG, especially with respect to Mark coming to terms with his own essential wrongness. He gets to partially repent for his tonal excesses with respect to the AYURIS; he gets to mull over painful loves lost in Billionaire Banshee; and he gets to realize that once again that while Walker cares deeply about people, he cares mostly about stuffing his face and listening to loud music.

Walker encourages you to tell friends about So Very Wrong About Games, despite his not listening to the podcast. Mark has recommended it to him, but apparently Walker's contempt for his co-host's opinions is not limited to games, but extends also to the podcast they produce together about games.

Mark references several films while trying, and failing, to keep his composure. Walker tells stories that may or may not resemble reality. Both hosts rant about design decisions they find inexplicable. It's a very cathartic experience for all involved.Games Played Last Week:-Dinosaur Island 1m16s (Jonathan Gilmour & Brian Lewis, Pandasaurus, 2017)-Cockroach Poker Royal 2m17s (Jacques Zeimet, 999 Games, 2012)-Caverna: The Cave Farmers 4m05s (Uwe Rosenberg, Lookout Games, 2013) -Unusual Suspects 6m00s (Paolo Mori, Cranio Creations, 2015)-Too Many Bones 8m45s (Adam & Josh Carlson, Chip Theory Games, 2017)-Infinity 12m16s (Gutier Lusquiños Rodríguez, Corvus Belli, 2005)-Warhammer Underworlds: Shadespire 13m38s (David Sanders, Games Workshop, 2017)-Food Chain Magnate 15m35s (Jeroen Doumen & Joris Wiersinga, Splotter, 2015)News (and why it doesn't matter)-Bruno's Imaginarium 19m15s-Other Bruno's Chawai 19m45s-Asmodee: The Movie 20m20s-Shilling for Dinosaur Island 21m10s-Infinity plus one 22m06s-SVWAG Giveaway 23m00sFeature Game: Champions of Midgard 24m14s (Ole Steiness, Grey Fox Games, 2015) Topic: Victory Point Systems 47m24s

Walker pretends to tolerate Mark's digression into pronunciation, and in exchange Mark pretends to be surprised to hear that TI4 has problems. Both fail to be even remotely surprised that CMON is in the plastic pushing business, novelty or creativity optional.

Sempre és un plaer poder portar a la secció jocs que funcionen molt bé amb nens i nenes i, si a més tenen el reglament en català, tenim un valor afegit al que ja ens està acostumant Devir. El repte d'aquesta i l'anterior secció era portar jocs reimplementats amb un xic més de dificultat que les versions originals. Doncs bé, si hi ha una franquícia que ha sabut explotar a la perfecció les diferents variants de més o menys dificultat entre els jocs de percepció visual, només podem parlar del fantasma més simpàtic dels jocs de taula: Fantasma Blitz. A Fantasma Blitz: Quin ensurt! tenim els mateixos colors i el mateix nombre d'elements a agafar del centre de la taula... però atenció, la perversió que Zeimet inclou en un joc que ja era pervers per a les neurones atrotinades dels adults (els nens tenen el cap més fresc que nosaltres per a aquestes coses, ja ho veureu!) és que l'element vermell té la capacitat de cobrir i amagar qualsevol altre dels elements. Sembla una nimietat, però (mai millor dit) dóna moltíssim joc!

Shelley and I spend some time playing three VERY different games at a Post-Essen Weekend. Flamme Rouge by Asger Harding Granerud from Lautapelit a quick and interesting card game Dodelido by Jacques Zeimet from Drei Magier Spiele a small-box card game that requires quick thinking and pattern recognition and Capital by Filip Milunski from Granna A Cities/7Wonders mash up about the re-building of Warsaw

Czy nowe wydanie Duuuszków to tylko bajerancka puszka, czy w środku też się coś zmieniło? Wystarczy posłuchać, żeby się o tym przekonać. Przy okazji czemu by nie polubić naszej stronki na Facebooku i nie zasubskrybować naszego […]
