Happy New Year! Congratulations on surviving 2020 with enough mental fortitude to listen to a podcast about board games! To celebrate the (hopefully positive) change in the calendar, we're talking about games where the board changes as you play. You'll hear us say things like: "Sometimes you just wanna go punch your friends in the face." "In 2003, Mayfair Games produced a tiny little bundle of hate." "Yahtzee, with punching." (I'm sensing a theme here...) "Hey Culligan Man!" Other items of interest in this episode include: A classic commercial for an abstract family game about murder and cannibalism. The board that lets the Titanic slip beneath the waves (after which the survivors, apparently, will also face murder and cannibalism). Whales are jerks, Exhibit A. Château Roquefort is much easier to show than to explain in audio format, so here's a series of four pictures on how the board is constructed (thanks to BGG user @pasquy). And the folding/unfolding boards of Key to the Kingdom (folded and unfolded) and The Mushroom Eaters (folded and unfolded) As always, we appreciate your listening and would love to hear your comments on any or all of these items, and especially a review on iTunes if you have the time and inclination!

Clearly the hosts secretly wanted to have a movie podcast, or perhaps just a podcast devoted to the movie Aliens. To their credit, they at least did not devolve into merely parroting quotes from the film, which is a behaviour as obnoxious and it is difficult to avoid.

Have you been wondering if you can integrate games into a formal school curriculum? Do you want to enrich a potentially dry subject area with something fun? How do find games that intrigue students and light the fire of interest? More importantly, how do you make the time? This week, Laura and Chris pull back the curtain and show how they plan for games during the school year that enliven studies and reinforce concepts. Join us as we talk about games for Ancient Roman History. This episode serves as a preview for several of the games that we will be covering in depth in the coming weeks. Be sure to stay tuned as we will be going further up and further in. Recommended Games: Circus Maximus – This fun simulation of chariot racing, published by Avalon Hill, is now a collectible. Replacement boards and pieces, along with chariot minis, can be purchased though Camelot Games. Gladiator – Not entirely historically accurate, this Avalon Hill game is more like a Hollywood version of gladiator fighting, but it makes a great conversation starter for discussions of Roman culture. Camelot Games is, again, your best source for replacement pieces. Ancient Civilizations of the Inner Sea – This recently published board game from GMT Games looks to be a worthy successor to other broad scale strategy games like Civilization. If you’re trying to learn Mediterranean geography and the civilizations that exist in competition with Rome, especially with older students, this looks like it’s going to be a great addition. Pax Romana – Another GMT game, focusing on the various competing empires in the Mediterranean between 300 BC and 100 AD. Imperium Romanum II – This West End Games simulation of the Roman Empire is currently out-of-print, but searching the collector's market is well worth the effort. Republic of Rome – This classic Avalon Hill game is a simulation of Roman politics during the Roman Republic. Falling Sky & Ariovistus – A Counterinsurgency simulation from GMT games, Falling Sky goes deep into the Gallic Wars. If you're reading through Julius Caesar's account in either the original or translation, this would be an excellent complement and help bring the text to life. Command & Colors Ancients – This ancient battle simulation is reasonably simple and fast playing, with many scenarios being playable within an hour once the rules are understood. The base game contains battles from the Punic Wars. Several expansions are available which cover a large number of the most important military engagements in the ancient world. Outmatched – We love IEW for their writing curricula, but their foray into games has been just as satisfying. This quick-playing card game helps drill history facts in a highly rewarding manner. Palatinus – If you want to dig into the earliest foundations of the city, this tile and card game from Mayfair Games will help with learning the populations vying for control of the Palatine hill and the village that would rule the world. By Jove – A "monopoly" style game from Aristoplay, this now collectible game is a fun way to learn about Roman Mythology. Roman Dice Games – This set includes reproduction pigs' knuckles, as well as 6 standard wooden dice, and a collection of rules for early dice games. Child Sized Masterpieces – This is a Montessori-style approach to art appreciation, using postcard sized art cards and a series of matching games to help build familiarity with artists and schools of art. The book includes directions for creating your own expansions, and we'll be putting together sets for Roman sculpture, mosaics, and architecture for our household. Recommended Reading: Candyland Was Invented for Polio Wards – This article in the Atlantic covers the fascinating story behind the beloved childhood game. Can't see the links?

Quinto y último programa de esta mini-temporada del programa trekkie hecho desde la Argentina hacia toda la galaxia. Esta vez empezamos contando nuestras reacciones al trailer de la segunda temporada de #Discovery y contando qué esperamos de esta nueva saga. Después volvemos con nuestra sección "Creadores de Universos" donde presentamos a la diseñadora gráfica Carol Lee Cole, responsable de adaptar el diseño de la Enterprise en las primeras películas. Luego destrozamos "Damage", el "Capítulo de la Semana" de la serie Enterprise que nos toca esta semana en lo que dimos a llamar "Capítulos de Mier$%" y concordamos que, esta vez, sí es el peor capítulo de toda la serie. Igualmente se abrió polémica con nuestros oyentes, lo cual nos pone muy contentos. En la sección "Juego a las Estrellas" reseñamos el juego Star Trek Five-Year Mission, de la difunta editorial Mayfair Games y creación de David E. Whitcher. Explicamos también qué es un juego cooperativo y por qué nos parece que es muy interesante esta modalidad para representar lo que pasa con los tripulantes de una nave. También tuvimos una extensa sección "Esta semana en Star Trek" porque como no vamos a estar al aire hasta el 2019, queríamos comentar unas cuantas fechas importantes y pasarnos de sólo la semana que pasó. Y finalmente cerramos adelantando lo que se viene en estos meses de vacaciones porque queremos visitar Risa, pero no queremos abandonar a nuestros oyentes que tan buena respuesta nos están dando a esta loca, loca aventura de hacer un programa de radio sobre #StarTrek.

We're doing time stamps now? How F.A.N.C.Y. 0:00 - We kick things off with hot takes about pomegranate juice and other awful concoctions that only fools and children would make, like blackcurrant and milk, and apple juice with orange juice. There's also a combination that only Kris's brother would make, and you'll find out about that in this section too. 2:50 Then it's off to the UK Games Expo at Birmingham's NEC for “the best convention I've been to” according to Peter, and the first part of our report from the show floor. First up it was By Fire and Sword, a teeny tiny historical wargame that looked like amazingly complicated fun. 14:20 - Then it's on to Wreck & Ruin, a post-apocalytpic vehicle combat board game that is a) pleasantly surprising, b) very accessible, and c) looking for your money on Kickstarter right now. 17:30 - There's a quick excursion by Kris to Lumino City, which pretty quickly gets wrapped up in a conversation about... 20:38 - … Pokémon Quest on Nintendo Switch, and the subject of mobile gaming in general. Does it matter which device you play a game on? Sam seems to think so, and he's probably right. 29:45 - This is where we head back to Brum for even more of the expo and “one of the darlings of the show” - the astonishingly plucky Burrows & Badgers from Oathsworn and Osprey Games. 38:30 - We're pretty disillusioned with comics at the moment, but there are a few stand outs that we've been carrying on with, and none is more important than Barrier from Brian K. Vaughan, Marcos Martin, and Muntsa Vicente. 45:41 - We round out the show with the last leg of our UK Games Expo tour and the acquisition of the pretty wild 1989 pen and paper classic Batman Role-Playing Game, from Mayfair Games. It sounds as good as you think it sounds. So pull up a chair and join Kris (@DigitalStrider), Peter (@XeroXeroXero), and Sam (@MrSamTurner) for the latest episode of our nice little hang out sessions where we talk about all the neat things we like.

Have you ever traveled through space minding your own business only to be attacked by space pirates? Or how about being stopped by a merchant trying to peddle his wares, only to be a space priate in disguise? Have you ever played Starfarers of Catan and felt like every damn card you draw is space pirates? Yeah, us, too. This week, join us as we play through Starfarers of Catan, a Euro-style game set in the Catan-verse. Much like Settlers of Catan, Starfarers is a game of resource collection and development, where players race to be the first to the victory points goal. Points can be earned in a variety of ways, which allows for multiples avenues to acheive victory. Unfortunately, the game has been out of print since 1995, so unless you've got an old copy lying around, chances are this game will be hard to come by. There have been rumblings from the publisher, Mayfair Games, about a reprint, but they never seem to have a date. Regardless, if you can get your hands on a copy, we highly recommend it. Oh, yeah, and Junior inadvertantly gets highly vulgar to start off, so make sure you listen for that. Trust us, you can't miss it. Sorry, Mom.

On this rainy day in April, The Arcade Castle decided to distract themselves from the boredom and woes that only come from being stuck inside during rainy weather. Searching through the archives they come across a game that reminds them of their youth; halcyon days filled with designing cities, relaxing music, and bulldozing schools and libraries to get a higher population count. However, as they open the game and begin reading the extensive tome that acts as the rulebook to playing this game, will Arcade Castle be overjoyed, or underwhelmed, by this mid-90s card game by Mayfair Games and Maxis Games? Can the budding city of ArcadeCastleopolis survive disaster?! In this (slightly delayed) episode, Arcade Castle examines SimCity The Card Game. In stores from 1994 to 1995, this CCG saw several starter sets and trading card paks. But can this game live up to players' expectations? Does this card game sucessfully capture the strategy and gameplay from the video game series? Episode Outline: 00:00-15:00: Discussion about the SIM franchise and how SimCity as a videogame works. Once Upon a Powerup: The Story of Will Wright and the Simulated City. 15:00-35:00: Examination of the rules and gameplay of SimCity: The Card Game. 35:00-52:00: Comparing SimCity: The Card Game to the SimCity franchise. How do both games function? What core gameplay mechanics and strategies drive each in turn? What expectations do videogamers bring to the table when playing SimCity: The Card Game? Does this card game meet those expectations? 52:00-64:00: Breakdown Discussion: How faithful should a licensee be when they are adapting a videogame into a boardgame or card game? Can you truly adapt a video game from digital into analog?

We post new episodes every other Thursday, with each episode being about 30 - 40 minutes long. DESCRIPTION: This week, Erin and Ryan are happy to get back into the swing of gaming, talk about the impact of the sale of Catan, and review the two player quilting game Patchwork. Oh, and we talk Patreon too. GUEST: None RECENTLY PLAYED GAMES - (00:27): Pandemic: Legacy by Z-Man Games Hocus by Hyperbole Games Betrayal at House on the Hill by Hasbro Between Two Cities by Stonemaier Games Funemployed! by IronWall Games RYU by Asmodee Editions Isle of Skye by Mayfair Games Moonquake Escape by Breaking Games QUICK TOPICS - (17:04): We parse the implications of Mayfair selling the English rights of Catan to Asmodee We discuss our first impressions of the long-standing Boston-area geek convention Arisia and their first attempt at incorporating a tabletop showcase REVIEW - (26:59): This week we stitch together our findings of Patchwork by Mayfair Games. This is a light game for two players all about quilting. It mixes a rondel-style purchase process for acquiring quilt pieces with a very Tetris-like placement process. Through this you are trying to create the most efficient 10x10 quilt grid possible, as holes in quilts are generally a bad thing. Over a span of about 30 minutes, players (usually) alternate turns attaining buttons - the game's currency - and then use them to snatch up useful quilt squares. Like any quilt, we explore which parts of Patchwork are particularly inspiring and which suffer from rather poor stitchwork. A typical Patchwork layout Which three pieces are available to the current player at the moment Presuming more pieces aren't added, the next time this player passes a Button square they'll collect 11 buttons A player's final quilt - only 3 missing squares! PLUGS - (48:45): Remember how we said we had changes in store? Well, we're happy to finally announce another one of those! In the very near future, the CR will be launching its own Patreon!

By Paco Garcia Jaen The last of the 5 DVDs we created. We end the series with some of the best interviews we recorded at the show. It was a pretty spectacular show this year with some genuinely amazing games and new companies being seen for the first time, and new trend of companies that have never created boardgames taking some first steps into the industry. Also a lot of new companies, very often with just one or two people at the helm. Overall, Spiel showed a very healthy face of the industry, both in terms of players and companies willing and able to make an effort to come to Germany, that is likely to continue and expand in 2013. The first interview is with the managing director of Gale Force 9. Paul takes us through Spartacus the board game, as well as the philosophy behind the company and some plans for the future. We then came back to Europe to interview Lorenzo Silva, from Cranio Creations, creators of Dungeon Fighter amongst other games. As well as discussing the massive success of the game, which was largely unexpected, we talk about their new games, Like, The Social Game and 1969. It was also my pleasure to get together again with Andrei Novak, from NSKN Legendary Games and see their new games. But this meet also came with the added bonus of meeting Agniegska Kopera, one of the really clever minds behind the games the company produces. And from Europe to South America. There weren't many companies from the South American continent, but Sagaze, a Peruvian Company run by Martin Williams. Martin has a very interesting approach to games and is truly passionate about spreading the word. His puzzle and football games, as well as the more abstract games he’s designed are indeed worth a good look. The success of Days of Wonder as a company is truly remarkable. They have an incredible ability to come out with great game after great game and the expansions for Small World and ticket to Ride continue to be popular after so many years. We talked to their European PR manager to find out about their newest game, Shadows over Camelot, which has been re-formatted into a card game that looks truly excellent. And lastly we have a true legend of boardgaming world, Larry Roznai from Mayfair Games. Although he will be very modest and quick to give credit to anyone and everyone else in the company, his vision has taken the company to being a multi-million dollar company and have the game that catapulted boardgaming into the notoriety that has continue to expand to our days. With a catalogue of games that would make people’s eyes water in anticpation, Mayfair has established itself as an industry leader. The short, when Larry talk, you listen. And listen good!
