Here it is, the episode you've all been waiting for, the grand finale, the culmination of five weeks of episodes. These are our top ten favourite board games of all-time, games that we absolutely adore, and would happily play at a moment's notice. Heck, we'd even play the games on each others' lists ... on, you know, birthdays and special occasions. That's how good they are. 08:41 – Mark #10 – The Estates 11:29 – Neilan #10 – Pictomania 13:46 – Kellen #10 – Coloretto 15:23 – Mark #9 – The Voyages of Marco Polo 17:39 – Neilan #9 – Guards of Atlantis 22:26 – Kellen #9 – Inis 25:26 – Mark #8 – Time's Up! 26:33 – Neilan #8 – Scythe 30:04 – Kellen #8 – The Resistance 32:17 – Mark #7 – Brass: Birmingham 34:24 – Neilan #7 – Times Up! 35:54 – Kellen #7 – Troyes 37:59 – Mark #6 & Kellen #6 – El Grande 40:28 – Neilan #6 – Through The Ages: A New Story of Civilization 44:25 – Mark #5 – 1830: Railways & Robber Barons 46:34 – Neilan #5 – Codenames 49:44 – Kellen #5 – Time's Up! 51:17 – Mark #4 – Francis Drake 53:39 – Neilan #4 – Tzolk'in: The Mayan Calendar 57:20 – Kellen #4 – Cosmic Encounter 1:00:50 – Mark #3 – Hansa Teutonica 1:04:00 – Neilan #3 – A Feast for Odin: The Norwegians 1:06:43 – Kellen #3 – Cthulhu Wars 1:09:18 – Mark #2 – Arboretum 1:11:31 – Neilan #2 – Gloomhaven 1:15:16 – Kellen #2 – Archipelago 1:18:31 – Mark #1 – Biblios 1:21:39 – Neilan #1 – The Resistance 1:23:29 – Kellen #1 – Innovation Join the discussion at: https://boardgamebarrage.com/discord
We're using "culture" pretty broadly, here--the SVWAG staff anthropologist is out with the flu, so there's only so much we can do. We're ready to accept some degree of cultural variance, but we don't endorse cultural relativism as a moral theory; our staff ethicist is still very much at his post. That said, social gatherings are most definitely susceptible to cultural standards than moral precepts are, and we are ever in thrall to one of SVWAG's primordial maxims: "Read the room."

Great news starts of the banter portion of the show. In recently played games, Jeff got crabs, Adrian caught a killer, and Zach drank some tea. In News Z-Man posts their Gen Con Preview and the Dots RPG Project goes Non-profit. In Kickstarter, Copenhagen joins the Roll’n’Write community and Dice Hospital and Dinogenics get expansions.

Dominant strategies can ruin a game; if there's one clear best way to win, why not use it every time? We discuss these optimal strategies, whether they're always problematic, and how to deal with them at your game table. Before we break the game, we talk about A Feast for Odin: The Norwegians, Lost Cities: Rivals, and Second Chance. 03:16 - PUSH 04:53 - A Feast for Odin: The Norwegians 12:30 - Lost Cities: Rivals 18:12 - Second Chance 26:31 - Dominant Strategies 27:17 - A Feast for Odin 27:57 - A Few Acres of Snow 28:16 - Blood Rage 30:48 - Magic: The Gathering 32:45 - London 34:19 - Great Western Trail 36:39 - Chess 38:18 - Cthulhu Wars 43:36 - Food Chain Magnate 45:22 - Dominion 46:30 - Battle for Rokugan 46:51 - Kemet 48:53 - Ticket to Ride
In the ancient Norse lands, we pillage the coasts, whale the seas, craft hammers and mail, and play tetris on the front lawn of the meade hall. Wait, what?We're talking about A Feast for Odin, Uwe Rosenberg's magnum opus. We run through the best parts of of this game and where it fails. We played it 10 times in two weeks -- King Hrothgar would be proud. Then we talk the Norwegians expansion, which goes down like a smooth glass of meade after the looser plays of vanilla Feast. Guess what though -- the game is basically a patch, and a very good one.Not too far removed, our topic of the day is the multiplicative effect that spatial elements have on tired board game mechanics. Whether it's the lovely tile placement of Feast, the opportunistic avatar map movements of Marco Polo, or the tension of Escape Plan that has a bit of both, spatial elements make some of our favorite games.03:20 A Feast for Odin Review - At Least Ten Times20:35 The Norwegians Expansion - A Review33:26 The Multiplicative Experience of Spatial Elements in Games - Feature Theme34:00 Voyages of Marco Polo34:29 Islebound and Vindication35:18 Tyrants of the Underdark36:00 Supermotherload37:13 Clank41:18 Escape Plan overview -- a Combo of Tile Placement and Avatar Movement46:17 Forum Trajanum49:27 Seafall51:15 Riverboat52:02 Grimslingers
For our special 93rd episode, Matt and Quinns break from tradition to talk about board games. First, the pair and respond to the furore surrounding Quinns' Blood on the Clocktower review (02:05). There's then chat about Corinth (10:08), A Feast for Odin: The Norwegians (18:36), Space Base: The Emergence of Shy Pluto (27:32), Monolith Arena (32:42) and Alone (43:52). Ooh, and that musician they're talking about at the beginning? He's "Klaus Wunderlich".
Jack and Caleah talk about the much anticipated expansion to Ewe Rosenberg's Magnum Opus: The Norwegians, their cats were not fans but I think the HUMANS are! The expansion has an 8.9 on BGG: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/216788/feast-odin-norwegians Some party games they also got to play; Unstable Unicorns and Telestrations https://www.unstableunicorns.com/ https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/46213/telestrations
Hey everyone, we're back with another look at the BGG Hotness, this time for February 2019. First up, we name the winner of this week's Patreon contest - congratulations Adrienne! If you haven't yet and want to be part of our weekly giveaways, signup at https://patreon.com/bga. For our question of the week, we asked the listeners, "What game in your collection is the biggest headache to teach to new players?" In acquisition disorders this week, Anthony looks at Terramara, a new game from Quined featuring the designers of Coimbra and part of Lorenzo il Magnifico. Chris looks at Tiny Epic Tactics. At the Table this week, Anthony reviews A Feast for Odin: The Norwegians and Caverna: Forgotten Folk, while Chris looks at a boatload of games he played at Dreamation in New Jersey last week, including: Strasbourg, Scoville, Paper Tales, Patchistory, Panamax, and Auztralia. Finally, for our feature, we look at the 15 games currently atop the BGG Hotness and why they are there.

You do you, Walker always says, except he almost never does. Mark always says smoke 'em if you got 'em, despite his never uttering those words and frankly not knowing what they mean. He tried smoking once and didn't enjoy it. Why care about such petty things as truth or data when it feels consistent with a narrative you're peddling? Echoes of contemporary politics abound, as we ponder whether a game needs to be balanced so long as it tells a good tale.AYURIS: Rising Sun (Eric Lang, CMON, 2018) 5m26sGames Played Last Week: -Cerebria: The Inside World 8m57s (Richard Amann, Viktor Peter, István Pócsi, Frigyes Schőberl, Nick Shaw, & Dávid Turczi, Mindclash Games, 2018)-Teotihuacan: City of Gods 11m22s (Daniele Tascini, NSKN Games, 2018)-Spirit Island 12m10s (R.

Sometimes categories are useful taxonomical tools, and sometimes they are so blunt as to be confusing and unhelpful. What gets parsed as "worker placement" can get downright murky at times. To Walker, though, the world is clear and simple. Tolstoy tells us that "All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." Walker has a modified view--all fun games are fun and thus good and interchangeable, and all unfun games are bad and thus the same. It's a good thing he's not a critic or anything.Games Played Last Week: -Welcome to... 3m47s (Benoit Turpin, Blue Cocker Games, 2018)-A Feast for Odin: The Norwegians 6m19s (Gernot Köpke & Uwe Rosenberg, Feuerland Spiele, 2018)-Architects of the West Kingdom 9m55s (Shem Phillips & S.
