Today we confront the primary moral philosophy presented as a challenge to Kant's Deontology: Utilitarianism. We'll read Chapter 1 of Bentham's "An Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation" as well as a sizable portion of Mill's On Liberty - which is remarkably NOT Utilitarian, and famous as one of the primary texts underlying contemporary Libertarianism. Along the way we'll have some very serious discussions about free speech, personal freedom, and Christian insularity - and how the world of rights and personal independence has changed in the past few hundred years.Additional readings this week include: Wollstonecraft's A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, Foucault's Birth of the Clinic, Turgenev's Fathers and Sons, Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, and Hugo's Les Miserables. It's a mixed bag, with some anachronistic choices, but these will provide a good cross-section of perspectives about the virtues and vices of Mill's text. Speaking of mixed bags and individualism run amok, our game recommendations for this week are: John Company (2nd edition) and Darkest Dungeon.If you're interested in Professor Kozlowski's other online projects, check out his website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠professorkozlowski.wordpress.com

Ep.197 is live! We discuss the great game of SETI before diving into the topic about space exploration and colonialism.

In dieser Folge von Brettspiel-News Pile of Shame haben wir uns nach einer längeren Pause wieder versammelt, um die Spiele aus unserem Regal zu beleuchten, die schon viel zu lange ungespielt waren. Zusammen mit Tobi und Stephan bin ich in eine Art Selbsthilfegruppe für Brettspielende eingetaucht, in der wir unsere Pile of Shame durchforstet und alte Spiele wieder auf den Tisch gebracht haben.Das Format Pile of Shame zielt darauf ab, ungenutzte Spiele aus dem Regal aufzugreifen und herauszufinden, ob sie es wert sind, gespielt zu werden – oder ob sie doch besser auf dem Flohmarkt landen sollten.Blick auf die SzeneBevor wir jedoch mit unseren Spielen gestartet sind, diskutierten wir über aktuelle Entwicklungen in der Brettspielszene. Dabei ging es unter anderem um Herausforderungen, mit denen Verlage derzeit konfrontiert sind, sowie um die Entwicklung des Markts – insbesondere in den USA.Zurück ins SpielregalDanach ging es endlich ans Eingemachte: die Spiele selbst. Jeder von uns hatte sich etwas Besonderes ausgesucht. Die Auswahl reichte von gewaltigen Erweiterungen über komplexe Strategiespiele bis hin zu humorvollen Partyspielen. Jeder Beitrag sorgte für spannende Diskussionen und unterhaltsame Anekdoten.Tobis Beitrag: Anachrony – Fractures of TimeAls Erstes stellte ich Tobi und seine Erweiterung zu Anachrony vor – ein Spiel, das sich dem Thema Zeitreisen widmet. Es ist nicht nur mechanisch anspruchsvoll, sondern stellt auch in der Gruppendynamik eine Herausforderung dar. Die Einstiegshürde ist hoch.Tobi berichtete, wie die Erweiterung Fractures of Time dem Spiel eine völlig neue Dimension verlieh. Neue Mechaniken und die Notwendigkeit, strategisch vorauszuplanen, machten die Partie zu einem intensiven Erlebnis – unterstützt durch eine Spielzeit von über vier Stunden. Entscheidungen mussten mit Bedacht getroffen werden, was zu angeregten Gesprächen am Tisch führte.Stephans Spiel: Leitgeprüftes MittelalterStephan hatte sich einem deutlich humorvolleren Titel zugewandt: Leitgeprüftes Mittelalter. Das Spiel arbeitet stark mit schwarzem Humor und könnte durchaus als provokant gelten. Die Spielmechanik erlaubt es, Charaktere in verschiedenen Städten zu platzieren und gleichzeitig Seuchen zu verbreiten.Der thematische Ansatz führte nicht nur zu Gelächter, sondern auch zu Diskussionen über moralische Implikationen, die mit dieser Art von Humor einhergehen. Ein ungewöhnlicher, aber interessanter Beitrag zum Abend.Einblicke in John CompanyEin weiterer Höhepunkt des Abends war John Company, ein Spiel, das die Komplexität kolonialer Machtstrukturen und strategischer Verhandlungen thematisiert. Die Mitspielenden erleben hier ein tiefgreifendes, interaktives Spiel, bei dem Kommunikation und Rollenzuweisung entscheidend sind.Zentrale Themen waren dabei die Rollenverteilung, taktisches Feilschen und die kritische Auseinandersetzung mit dem historischen Hintergrund. Das Spiel bot nicht nur mechanische Tiefe, sondern auch reichlich Stoff für Diskussionen.Fazit: Vielfalt und GemeinschaftJede Person am Tisch brachte ein einzigartiges Spiel mit, was der Folge eine abwechslungsreiche und unterhaltsame Dynamik verlieh. Die Gespräche sprudelten vor Begeisterung und Meinungen – es war ein geselliger Abend im besten Sinne.Diese Folge zeigt eindrucksvoll, wie Brettspiele nicht nur unterhalten, sondern auch Themen aufgreifen können, die zum Nachdenken anregen und interessante Gespräche fördern. Ganz im Sinne des Pile of Shame-Formats: alte Erinnerungen auffrischen, neue Eindrücke sammeln – und das gemeinsame Spielen in den Mittelpunkt stellen.Euer FeedbackIhr habt Feedback zu dem Podcast und Themen- oder Gastwünsche?

Nick and Hannah both love board games. There I said it. So what are they doing in a Civics 101 episode? Well, from Student Council and Model UN to CIA intelligence acquisition scenarios, there is a fine line between games and simulation. We learn more about things when we pretend to do them. Today we talk to three designers about their civic-centric games; Tory Brown of Fort Circle Games discusses Votes for Women, Cole Wehrle of Wehrlegig Games breaks down John Company, and Non Breaking Space explains Cross Bronx Expressway, an upcoming game from GMT.

They discuss the colonial origins of the modern corporation, the complex historical relationship between public and private interests, and the capacity for games to dramatize how an empire happens.

On this weeks episode we veer almost accidentally into a Cole Wherle Special, as we discuss games that happen "above the table". A normal phrase. That everyone uses. Normally. How do these new narrative-driven games full of negotiation and exploitation stack up to the OG war sim Diplomacy? We then fiercely negotiate the pros and cons of Oath and John Company and the relative merits of "mild" exploitation. Exciting stuff! After this we will all need a shit down. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Happy New Year, everybody! To kick things off right, here's an episode looking at all the cool games we're hoping to play in 2024. It's full of plenty of laughter, largely because of the maniacal giggling of Curtis, our newest cohost! Among the things we're laughing at: This map from The Stifling Dark amuses Joe. There is much wailing and gnashing of teeth as we pre-empt each others' picks (although no one else wants any of Brian's picks) This terrifying array of tokens from Magic Realm, which is getting an unofficial remake this year. And then, to moderate the mood, we take a sharp and unplanned left turn into games that make you feel icky to play, including John Company, Doubt is Our Product (read this amazing designer diary), and An Infamous Traffic. Thanks as always for listening! If you have a few extra minutes, we'd love it if you could give us an iTunes review. Please leave one if you can - it helps us a lot! We'd also love to have you visit our website and let us know what kinds of games we should discuss next. You're also more than welcome to comment on the episode page, or our Facebook page, or tag @ascentofboardgames on Bluesky. Whatever way you prefer to share your opinions with us, we'd love to hear them.  As always, we appreciate your listening - stay safe out there, and happy holidays!

Retomamos la saga sobre el siete veces cónsul Mario en Por los Dioses, con Sergio Alejo y Ángel Portillo. Saturnino, tribuno de la plebe, halló en Mario un aliado fuerte y con intereses comunes. Se cubrió bajo su manto e hizo y deshizo a su antojo, sumiendo a la República romana en un período de caos, desorden y luchas internas. ¿Benefició al tercer fundador de Roma tener a este personaje como su protegido? Trataremos de dar respuesta a esa pregunta en esta sexta entrega de la serie. En el segundo plato contaremos con el entusiasta Albert Alegre en su sección "La Historia en juego". Hoy nos propone el "John Company" un divertido juego basado en las actividades en la India de la Compañía Británica de las Indias Orientales. Como siempre, combinaremos la breve explicación de la dinámica del juego con la historia que le rodea. Conoceremos esta compañía comercial privilegiada y su oscuro papel en la India a partir del siglo XVIII, en la que prácticamente se convirtió en un estado, con su administración y ejércitos propios. Todo esto se refleja en un juego en el que los participantes tendrán que hacer valer su capacidad negociadora para lograr el objetivo principal que tenía la Compañía Británica de las Indias Orientales: ganar muchísimo dinero. Y terminamos con el siguiente episodio de la saga dedicada a los Boers en Allende los Mares. Cuarta entrega, una vez retomada la serie en su orden debido la semana pasada, de un total de seis.

In this episode, Soren interviews tabletop designer Cole Wehrle, best known for his work on Root, Oath, Pax Pamir, and John Company.

Today we review Origins: First Builders by Adam Kwapinski, better known for super-thematic American games like Nemesis that he's designed for Awaken Realms. He's given us a new dice drafting game about worshipping alien motherships. Have you ever wanted to play out the plot of Stargate, with ancient aliens assisting primitive humans to become dominant civilizations? Well too bad, because Origins: First Builders is a themeless Euro published by Board & Dice, publisher of themeless euros.
