Podcast appearances and mentions of matthew dunstan

It wouldn't be Oceania month without Matthew Dunstan, who is closing in on the title for the most guest appearances on the podcast!  In this episode, Jules and Joe chat about Matthew's new YouTube channel, co-designing, and how he enjoys giving back to the board game design community.  We also hear about some upcoming games, the business of being a full-time board game designer, and which designer he'd like to co-design a game with!   Plenty of games have been hitting the table too. Jules is surprisingly taken with planning a Jazz Festival in Bebop, meanwhile, Joe and his friend Megs are newly married and not liking Conor's taste in furnishings in Decorum.   What we've been playing: [36:17]   Sizzling Games: Bebop [50:19]   Question of the Pod Recap: [59:25] New Question of the Pod: [1:03:46] Fired Up: [01:12:22]   New Question of the Pod: What game have you played that “shouldn't work”, but does?   Check out Matthew's You Tube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@MatthewDunstan/featured   Check out our Eventbrite page for all of our upcoming Game Days: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/o/board-game-bbq-32833304483   Has this episode left you with a thirst for more?

Prolific designer Matthew Dunstan joins the show in a unique opportunity to link to the last episode as well as Intertextual Cardboard Experience's famous Collabstraction Trilogy. There are many unique topics discussed here, and, to me, the ethos of most everything we talked about boiled down to the idea of community and the relationships Matthew has with others in the gaming space. Unsurprisingly, this episode is a real treat.Last episode, I was fortunate enough to chat with Rory Muldoon, Matthew's partner at Postmark Games. If you haven't, check out that episode. Additionally, keep refreshing your browser until 52 Realms: Adventures is available on the Postmark site (some time in January). Matthew on BlueskyIntro and Matthew's Version (0:00) Matthew talks about a special person in his life that fostered an early love for gaming. The story of the “Cambridge Cabal” or Cambridge design groups had been discussed a few times on the show. Hearing a little bit more from another perspective, keeps adding to that fun. Some of the Collabstraction staples make it into here, and Matthew discusses some of the decision making behind whether a game will be a solo design or co-design.A Little Voyage to Postmark (23:55) This section introduces the aforementioned episode with Rory. In this portion, I do correctly say that I'm going to bring up portions of the conversation with Rory where he asked (or just mentioned) that I ask or bring up certain things to Matthew. In later parts, I think I accidentally kind of clump that verbiage into saying that Rory asked me to ask you this. Anyway, in this introductory part, I tell Matthew to bring back his designer live streams (a request from Rory [and me and others!]).Continued Adventures (33:17) This portion dives into some design decisions made for 52 Realms: Adventures, the idea of community, and how the design relationship between Rory and Matthew works so well. Matthew also reflects on some other possibilities for games designed specifically for print and play.Wrap-up Questions (1:00:36) A couple of texts on Matthew's mind and what to look out for from him next!----------------------------------------------------------***Postcard image courtesy of Schmidsi via Pixabay***Other images from Postmark's site----------------------------------------------------------IF YOU FILLED OUT THE "SOLOWEEN SURVEY," THANK YOU!

The forest is dark and eerie. A cold wind whistles through the branches and makes them creak and groan. The rustling of the leaves goes some way to hiding the noise of your prowling through the undergrowth. You have your prey in sight, but suddenly, at the same time as you break cover, other hunters reveal themselves. There is a moment of confusion which our shared victim uses to their advantage to escape to safety. It looks like we are all going hungry today and we all have to accept that we will have to Prey Another Day by Matthew Dunstan and Brett J. Gilbert from Pegasus Spiele.

Based on a suggestion from the wonderful Bez from Stuff by Bez, I want to look at how designers can sometimes be known for specific styles of board games. That can be useful for people looking for certain types of games, but it also means that the designers can end up being pigeonholed, which can have a negative impact on their professional future in our hobby.

The living room floor was a mess, sort of anyway. Everything was neatly arranged in a grid pattern, but there was no order to it whatsoever. Books were next to plants, which were next to games, which were next to frames all while some of our cats were tiptoeing around everything. All of it was only temporary though.

London's ageing underground network is creaking and groaning. It can no longer keep up with the exponentially increasing demand of daily commuters and rising tourist numbers to the UK's capital. It's time to scrap it all and start anew and Transport for London has hired you to redesign everything. It won't be easy to optimize the interchanges for a better flow, provide stops to as many tourist sites as possible and take advantage of the tunnels passing underneath the Thames. The first station has been built and now it's up to you to create the Next Station: London by Matthew Dunstan from Blue Orange Games.

We are back for 2022! (was there ever any doubt?) Join Adrian, Sarah, Def and Jules as they discuss giving games a second chance. What factors can sour a first play, what you should consider when you first learn a game, and the team list some games they have granted a second chance. In the Sizzling Games segment, Jules has been the playing the new Roll and Write from friend of the show Matthew Dunstan (and Rory Muldoon): Voyages. Sarah has been enjoying the Martin Wallace city building game Anno 1800. Def is still living out his train fantasies with Mini Express. Finally Adrian has found his new favourite trick-taking game: Nyet! We dive back into the Bracket Battle and recap the last match up: Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion vs Raiders of the North Sea. Finally in Swear an Oath Def fulfilled his oaths of Clans of Caledonia and also Hellenica: Story of Greece. Adrian overcame Mitch's sleep-inducing tutorial and played Merchants of the Dark Road, and also played Santa's Workshop, but fell short of teaching Conor Aeon's End. Sarah hasn't played Chronicles of Crime yet, but did play Forge War. Jules played half a game of Mysthea (so it doesn't count!) but is prepared to play it at this weekend's Melbourne Board Game Day. In the spirit of second chances, Adrian swears an oath to revisit Dwellings of Eldervale, Def swears to give Imperium: Classics a second chance, Sarah swears to play Great Western Trail, and Jules will finally finish painting his Unsettled minis.   Sizzling Games: Voyages (06:35), Anno 1800 (18:50), Mini Express (33:45), Nyet!

Shelley and I plant rival gardens this week, hoping our neighbors don't disturb our crops too much, then build sections of Rome in two games that involve player building their own tableau. Mr. Cabbagehead's Garden by Todd Sanders from LudiCreations and Great City of Rome (or City of Rome depending on the publisher) by Matthew Dunstan and Brett J. Gilbert from Z-Man (if it's Great) and Abacusspiele (if it's just a City).

This week Ben speaks to the designer of Elysium, Costa Rica and Relic Runners, Matthew Dunstan. They discuss being nominated for the Kennerspiel, life at an Oxbridge College and adapting to life in England...but which games did he choose?

Shelley and I head out west, hoping to avoid major difficulties in the dice drafting game Pioneer Days by Matthew Dunstan and Chris Marling from Tasty Minstrel and then get all abstract like Mondrian in De Stijl by Lucas Gerlach from Quick Simple Fun Games

Shelley and I get a chance to try out two possible entries in NEXT year's SdJ competition, and you'll be able to find them throughout Essen THIS WEEK! Costa Rica by Matthew Dunstan and Brett J. Gilbert from Mayfair/Lookout and Dream Islands by Lorenz Kutschke from Schmidt Spiele Enjoy!

Have you left your corporate job to find a better work-life balance, yet are struggling with isolation and drifting? This inspiring talk with Matthew Dunstan will set you on the right course again, and help you focus on what is important.

Relic Runners was released at Spiel 2013 by Days of Wonder and I was super keen to take a proper look. Designed by Matthew Dunstan, Relic Runner puts the players in the roles of intrepid treasure hunters who will have to search for treasure and uncover the secrets they need to obtain the relics needed to win the game. A light game with simple mechanics and great components (you wan see the unboxing video here) it’s meant to provide with an entry level game for all the family. Quick and fun too! Michael, Max and myself put this game to its paces and we had a good game and in this episode we tell you all about it! Hope u enjoy the show!
