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.

Cultismo tutto. La drammatica registrazione di quanto avvenuto la sera del 23 maggio 2026, presso La Palazzina di Ciagniano, vero e proprio rifugio peccatorum per appassionati del gioco da tavolo, fan del DBC e anime in pena in cerca di una fuga temporanea dalla civiltà. Quindi, per tutti quelli che c'erano, ma soprattutto per tutti voi che non c'eravate, all'interno troverete: voci rotte, occhi rossi, 20 ore di fiera complessive da moltiplicare per tre e mezzo, gente che ha fatto le ore piccole in modo forse troppo spavaldo, tortelloni straordinari, birrette, trenini indiani che poi non sono trenini, la papessa, multitavolo di Alien, poker co-op western, gioco cyberpunk neozelandese da guardare con gli occhiali dal sole, ma soprattutto: Bandanardo, Mekkaello, Rubbatello e Jekkelangelo contro le forze del male. Il tutto circondato da uno splendido pubblico di amici vecchi e nuovi. TU KWAKBuona 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.

Culstimo tutto. Quando starete leggendo questo inutile testo, saremo probabilmente con le nostre umili valige su un'auto alla volta di Bologna. Lo sguardo vacuo fisso sulla pianura che scorre oltre il finestrino e la mente obnubilata dalla fregola. Play , insomma, sta per iniziare, e questo è il nostro tributo alla maggiore fiera italiana di settore. Consigili, novità, aggiornamenti, curiosità, in questa due ore che speriamo accompagnerà tutti voi verso il i padiglioni nei quali lurkeremo per tre lunghi giorni, nutrendoci esclusivamente di ombre e nerdismo purissimo. Non esitate a fermarci per un selfie, un autografo, un'offerta votiva. 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.

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. Per il resto: Ale parla di un grande classico sottovalutato del GdR distopico come Cold City / Hot War, mentre Jack fa giochini che dopo il mattonazzo della scorsa settimana deve riposare, povera bestia, per cui vi beccate Light Speed Arena + il gioco per bambini Mooki Island.

Cultismo tutto! Allora, vi siete iscritte e vi siete iscritti tutti alla DBCena del 23 maggio? Sarebbe bello vedere del nuovo cultismo dritto dritto nelle palle degli occhi. Certo, ci aspettiamo numerosa la classica fauna da “evento organizzato dal DBC”, personaggi che popolano da anni il sottobosco melmoso degli ascoltatori più fedeli. Ne abbiamo per tutti i gusti: il medico matto, l'inventore bizzaro, la giocatrice che sembra aver sbagliato tavolo ma poi vince sempre, il figlio del diavolo, quello che ha spiegato talmente tanto Hegemony che sogna solo pedine a forma di operaio specializzato, Il controllore di volo, il Lord, il cultista ZERO che si spaccia per primo ma non lo è. Volete privarvi dell'emozione di cenare vicino a uno che vi racconta che, a conti fatti, un Weimar tra esperti dura come una partita di Gino Pilotino? Per questa e altre deliranti assurdità, vi aspettiamo il 23 maggio.

Cultismo tutto! Tra una roba e l'altra non c'è stato il tempo neanche di godersi una settimana di vacanza dal podcast che sono subito stato richiamato ai miei doveri di conduttore. Sono tornato che il codice DBC20 era offline, Bolivia analizzava i pro e i contro dell'intero roster di Street Fighter 6, il Duca chiedeva 120€ per un posto affianco a lui alla DBCena di maggio, pur sapendo che non ci saranno posti fissi come a un matrimonio. Ale si aggirava per la taverna con il suo solito fare da Litch. Poi, ho capito che era tutto come al solito, e mi sono tranquillizzato. Agemonia è un gioco che lo specialone lo merita eccome, per un milione di motivi.

Nonostante alla registrazione di questa settimana non abbia partecipato Jack, il suo spirito era comunque con noi, dato che in apertura abbiamo malamente sbagliato il numero dell'episodio. Per non dare adito ad ulteriori dubbi: questo è proprio l'episodio 407 (QUATTROCENTOSETTE). Sapevatelo.Tornando immantinenti ai contenuti odierni della vostra trasmissione preferita, avremo in ordine:- il Doc Bolivia con un succoso intervento riguardo All-In: Predictions, un nuovo gioco di carte basato sul poker, condito da vari twist molto croccanti;- il DucaConte che ci delizierà con una disamina sul tanto agognato Boss Fighters QR, un "light boss battler" di carte che ci ha riservato più di una sorpresa;- il Cap Rubbo, per l'occasione agghindato con il cappellino da enotmologo, ci illustrerà invece la sua esperienza con Ants, un titolo tutto italiano (titolo escluso) dove sarete chiamati, manco a dirlo, a gestire una colonia di simpatiche formiche.Oggi testo di accompagnamento sobrio ed elegante, rispettoso dei motori di ricerca e della chiarezza espositiva. Perchè   come è noto, non di sola empietà vivono i cultisti.Buon 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.

Amiche e amici del DBC. Dal nostro panopoticon possiamo vedervi, intenti nel vostro febbrile brulicare, mentre ridacchiate tra di voi, fregandovi le manine mentre vi dileggiate ebbri di auto compiacimento, facendo finta di non sapere chi sia l'autore dell'intervento su Formidable Farm. Tra di voi ci sono i “senza-occhi”: creature semi senzienti vestite con i jeans gialli della Energie che criticano la grafica de: Le Due Torri. Ottimo: è sulla pluralità di “vedute” che si fonda questo podcast, è su di essa che siamo cresciuti come un fetido rampicante e ci siamo appropriati delle vostre menti un tempo lucide. Abbiamo ristrutturato il vostro apparato neurale e vi abbiamo fatto apparire confortante il fatto che Ale abbia preparato un intervento sulla criminalità organizzata, ricordandovi che qualche sanguinolenta sparatoria è meglio della solita apocalisse.

Amiche e amici del DBC. Questa settimana AI, non ho tempo. Ciao. Anche questa settimana un travolgente episodio del vostro podcast preferito di giochi e avventure nel mondo del boardbracciaame. Si inizia con un innocente peccato del DucaConte che effettivamente ci parla di un videogame, ma non temete! Si tratta di un prodotto che ha tutte le caratteristiche senza per risultare piacevole anche per un pubblico di appassionati di esperienze analogiche, posto che abbiate Steam, ovvio. È 9 KINGS! Passiamo poi al mani tema del Cap Rubbo, che come è solito fare, ci porta in una terra devastata dall'apocalisse, dove gruppi di disperati cercano di sopravvivere. Grazie Cap per la solita fiocinata di ottimismosegnisulvolt! È HEREDITY: IL LIBRO DI SAWN! Chiusura con Jack e il suo solito giochino tedesco che costa poco, vecchio, e con componenti sul uscite da un oratorio, ma alla fine revampato come si deve. Grazie Jack.

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

Cultismo! Questa settimana abbiamo una notizia buona e una cattiva. Quella buona: il DucaConte è presente. Quella cattiva: siamo di nuovo in tre, perchè il nostro Goblin di fiducia è a guadagnarsi la pagnotta saccheggiando fattorie inermi. La dura vita a cui ci costringe la diffusione dell'empietà, purtroppo è questa.

Cultismo tutto. Altra settimana, alto ostacolo nella realizzazione dell'episodio a quattro. Nello specifico, il Capitano Rubbo ha dovuto temporaneamente parcheggiare il jet di linea con cui solitamente ci porta a spasso per mondi cupi e vagamente inquietanti, spesso legati a oscurità e corruzione. Non vi preoccupate, caro pubblico, è solo un innocuo incidente di percorso. Torna però il DucaConte. Avreste dovuto vederlo. Il capello ceruleo e alla moda, il naso adunco, perennemente affamato, il pugno facile. In effetti era sempre il solito a parte una benda, purtroppo non da pirata. In quanto al dottor Bolivia, si è presentato con un gioco di Knizia e ci ha scaldato il cuore perché talvolta è bello rifugiarsi nel brodo caldo dopo una dura giornata d'inverno. PS Va beh algoritmo, ecco i titoli di questo episodio: Zoo Vadis, Il Gatto e la Torre (che va cantato come Bennato) e The Four Doors. A posto, grazie. Alla prossima, ciao. Buon 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. 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. L'ombra che proiettava sul muro, si mosse. Buon ascolto, e come sempre… Ci vediamo dall'altra parte!PS Va beh algoritmo, ecco i titoli di questo episodio: Maestro Makatsu, Storyfold, Abomination: The Heir of Frankenstein.

Cultismo tutto. Federica Brignone. Flora Tabanelli. Francesca Lollobrigida. Il DucaConte. Tutte medaglie olimpiche che hanno lasciato il segno: chi sul ghiaccio, chi sulla neve, chi sulle tavole da gioco di tutto il mondo. C'è chi ha realizzato tempi record, chi si è esibita in evoluzioni pirotecniche, chi ha lanciato dadi e token ovunque in preda ad incontrollabili scatti d'ira. Perché il DBC è questo: un posto dove i sogni diventano realtà, e la realtà si piega e si rompe sotto i pugni de DucaComte. Voilà. Pure la rima vi abbiamo regalato. Altro che Olimpiadi. Dal 2017 dritti fino ai giorni nostri: carrellata matta e disperatissima con decine dei giochi che hanno fatto la storia di questo podcast, ma anche la vostra, di storia, caro pubblico.

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!
