Cultismo tutto. Siete venuti a giocare con noi al MUSE di Trento, lo scorso weekend? Sì? Fantastico! Commentate qui sotto con entusiasmo e dedizione, grazie. No? Peccato, la fatina delle falangi verrà a trovarvi presto. No, dai, a parte gli scherzi…. Non è una fatina.È più che altro una figura con un grande naso adunco, alta, che si muove in modo scoordinato, ghiotta di tributi, CANUTA. Troppo “grim”? Troppo “coven”? Nahhhh, dopo che avrete visto  cosa c'è nella scatola di Grimcoven, il DucaConte che vien di notte a rubarvi pezzi di dita vi sembrerà Tonio Cartonio coi capelli bianchi e i denti d'oro. Non ho idea se questo paragone abbia funzionato o meno. Tulikko e una BGG Top 50 speciale completano l'episodio di oggi.   Buona ascolto e come sempre… Ci vediamo dall'altra parte!Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/dunwich-buyers-club--2814177/support.

Cultismo tutto. Che bello ritrovarsi in allegria dopo la sbornia di Play, o no? Dormire, non avere la gola assassinata da 10 ore in fiera parlando forte per farsi sentire, gambe non ridotte a un budino, le risate con gli amici appassionati di riti, i sacrifizi, l'oscurità, le dita mancanti Ma sto divagando. Zymo. Questa settimana abbiamo tre giochi che sono addirittura acquistabili in italiano! Scandalo! Non c'è nessun titolo underground truculento e grim, nessun 1 vs 1 comprabile solo sul deep vinted, nessun party game fatto sparire dai poteri forti, nessun GDR che ci mette nei panni di posate maledette. Solo giochi divertenti e ben congegnati. Coincidenze? NON CREDO. Dewan, Cozy Stickerville, Skara Brae.

Puntata abbacinante (cit. duk.) e - dobbiamo spoilerarlo - particolarmente ludica del DBC. Per affrontare degnamente i premi più “grandi” e globali dell'anno, ci siamo presi due categorie a testa, le abbiamo analizzate al microscopio e abbiamo detto la nostra PRIMA dell'annuncio dei vincitori. Che spocchia, eh? Le più furbe e i più furby tra di voi hanno già capito dove sto andando a parare: avrete infatti l'occasionissima di confrontare i risultati finali annunciati lunedì, con quello che viene detto in questo episodio e inchiodarci alle nostre responsabilità. Tutto vero. Tutto autentico. NO RAGRETS. L'unica cosa preparata erano le decine di titoli che ci siamo analizzati (come partite e come studio) negli ultimi 20 giorni.  Episodio CAVALCATA.

Cultismo tutto! Si avvicina l'avvicinamento a PLAY. E come ingannare la fregolotta abbagliante se non con una tripletta di argomenti così speziati da ricordarvi quella volta che avete mangiato la broda color fuoco al ristorante Sichuanese a Shanghai (storia vera, peraltro, magari un'altra volta). Il punto è: siete pronti per un episodio davvero salace? Il Duca era così carico che abbiamo dovuto metterlo sui rulli tipo le moto al banco prova. Il Cap, tecnico del gruppo AKA l'unico che sappia anche solo minimamente fare dei lavoretti fai-da-te, ha collegato poi il tutto a un generatore, così, for fun. Abbiamo quindi illuminato l'intero quartiere, con i bambini che pensavano stesse arrivando di nuovo Capodanno e gli adulti che pensavano ci fosse una sagra e uscivano di casa chiedendo dove fosse la cassa per ordinare le costicine. Va così, qui al DBC, ogni giorno un'avventura.

Cultismo tutto! JACK: “ho problemi a ricordare i nomi, ma vado meglio con quelli un po' diversi dal solito”. GISBERTO: “hold my beer”. Gisberto, signore e signori, sfonda la porta del saloon con un calcio volate, poi con passo deciso si porta verso il bar, dove strappa la bottiglia al barista e si versa whisky e birra sotto lo sguardo attonito degli astanti. Spande come non ci fosse un domani. Poi, sbatte la pistola sul bancone fradicio e con fare sprezzante si rivolge al tavolo del poker, sputando per terra un grosso bolo di tabacco masticato. “Via le carte, sfigati, che adesso giochiamo con le miniature”. L'unico che potesse oggettivamente gestire il personaggio era il Duca, che abbiamo investito della responsabilità di commentare una top 3  davvero unica.

Broken Meeple Podcast - Episode 131 - When Does Player Interaction Become Frustrating? I like player interaction in games.......for the most part.

Cultismo tutto. Il freddo inverno circondava la sua mangione con una stretta inevitabile. Il ghiaccio si accumulava tra le pieghe degli infissi e la luce di un sole pallido e morente si faceva strada a malapena attraverso il pesante tendaggio. Al centro della grande stanza ovale, un letto. Al centro del letto, il DucaConte. Al centro del DucaConte, un sentimento di profonda malinconia. Due episodi persi nel giro di un mese. Chi sono, io? Si chiese, mentre allungava lentamente il braccio per accarezzare il manuale in pelle di Cani della Vigna. Fissò per un attimo la sua attenzione sul grande scaffale con la big box di Thunder Road Vendetta ancora incellophanata. Il suo sguardo si fece meno vuoto. Aprì Vinted con mano tremolante. Ancora zero offerte per la sua copia usata di Blitz Bowl a 899€. Un prezzo onesto, ma forse era giusto così. Forse, era il destino che gli stava dicendo che certi giochi non si devono vendere. Chi lo sa. “Tonerò”, pensò, cupo, ma con un debole raggio di luce a illuminare il grande naso adunco.

Along the way, they share personal stories from game nights gone sideways (or spectacularly right), explore how competition shifts group dynamics, and debate whether fun and winning are really at odds—or if they might actually go hand in hand.

isode 584: A Look at Market Games  Episode release date is June 25, 2025   Show Notes   This week we in contrast with the open drafting mechanic we discussed the last few episodes, this week we are focusing on games that have and use a market, and how a market game is different from an open drafting game.   Intro of Meeple Nation The World's Most Okayest Podcast Web Page Links to Episodes SaltPOD: A SaltCON Podcast Bios Email us at MeepleNation@gmail.com Patreon Instagram @meeplenation Facebook Meeple Nation Facebook Group Meeple Nation Off Air X Meeple Nation Discord Meeple Nation Become a Chanameeple   Sponsorship Game Toppers  SaltCON   Meeple Nation Gaming Highlights (Highlight-Thirty) Nathan River of Gold with Cheryl Azul with Madi and BGA Andy Aeons Trespass Odyssey The Market mechanic, in essence, simulates a dynamic economy within a board game. Unlike a simple "take one from a pile" or a closed draft where items circulate, a market presents players with a publicly available pool of goods, actions, or resources. This pool often changes, either by new items being revealed, existing items being bought, or even prices fluctuating. What makes the Market mechanic so engaging is the tension it creates. Players are constantly evaluating not just what they need, but also what their opponents might be eyeing. With what is currently available in the market. Is it worth paying a premium for that crucial item now, or should you wait and hope a cheaper option appears? Do you play the jerk role and counter draft to deny an opponent a vital resource by taking it yourself, even if it's not your absolute top priority? Markets can take many forms: Static Markets: Where a set of items is always available, and players choose from it. Dynamic Markets: Prices might change based on supply and demand. Rotating Markets: Items might enter and exit the market over time, creating a flow of new opportunities. "I-Cut-You-Choose" Style Markets: While sometimes a separate mechanic, some games blend this, where one player sets up a market or splits resources, and another player chooses first. We discussed how open drafting games are very closely related to market games, but ultimately, the Market mechanic adds layers of tactical decision-making, player interaction, and often, an exciting push-your-luck element.  It's about optimizing your purchases, anticipating others' moves, and adapting to the ever-changing landscape of available options. So next time you're sitting down to play and see a row of tempting cards or a pile of valuable resources, you're likely engaging with the dynamic world of the Market mechanic!
