We discuss game end mechanisms based on a question from one of our awesome patreon patrons. After that we dive into the pile of obligation and review two games, Boba Mahjong, a two player set collection card game, and Shadow Kingdoms of Valeria, a dice drafting game in the Valeria Universe. Then we wrap up with a busy week in review where I got in some New Year's Eve gaming and we totally didn't have a SeanCon. Tabletop Bellhop Gaming Podcast Episode 196, Recorded January 4th 2023.

No quinquagésimo sétimo episódio do Turno de Comentários Gustavo Lopes recebe Anderson Butilheiro (#VemPraMesaRio1808) e Rafael "Parma" Verri (Ludofun) para debater sobre a acessibilidade nos jogos de tabuleiro. Com base em diversos artigos, em especial os textos do site Meeple Like Us, conversamos sobre diversos aspectos de acessibilidade possíveis nos jogos de tabuleiro, desde acessibilidade visual e física até acessibilidade emocional e socioeconômica e como devemos levar isso em conta, tanto do ponto de vista do produto, do design, mas também no momento de escolher os jogos para nós ou para indicar para outras pessoas. - Link da Campanha no Catarse: https://www.catarse.me/gambiarra_board_gamesEdição - Fabs Fabuloso e Gustavo Lopes.

In this episode, Michael and I confront the age-old question: how much of a podcast can be made up of tangents before the tangents become the subject of the podcast? Also in this episode we talk about Meeple Like Us and issues of accessibility in board gaming, a bunch of random political things, our favorite games, gender representation, ethical choices in video games, the state of criticism and if it's okay for publishers to pay reviewers for reviews, and....Nazis? It was a wild ride, but a tremendously fun discussion. 0:00 - Accessibility 3:40 - Controversial parts of Meeple Like Us 9:47 - Limitations of internet platforms like Reddit and Twitter 15:02 - Working with publishers on accessibility 26:24 - Gender representation/random hotbed political topics 54:36 - Some of our favorite games 1:02:44 - Criticism in board gaming and publishers paying for reviews 1:28:57 - Ethical choices within video games and board games Music: Sailing The Solar Wind by Abstraction Like the podcast?
