Board Boys swear allegiance to the steel industry as well as public libraries during a game of Carnegie from Quined Games and designer Xavier Georges. Cam edits out 95 percent of the episode, Kersting starts tracking his plays, and Rob does a great impression of his cinematic hero. Other games discussed: Caverna, Twilight Inscription, A Study in Emerald, Dark Moon Board Boys Bump: Chronicles of Crime Music: E.V.A. - Jean-Jacques Perrey, Tinseltown in the Rain - The Blue Nile, In a Big Country - Big Country (this episode's nasty jams are brought to you by Scottish born innovators, just like Andrew Carnegie himself)
There was a time you could just stroll in a big box store in the United States and just buy a miniatures skirmish game that was actually pretty good. Sure, it didn't have analog movement or anything, but it used true line of sight and had amazing plastic terrain. So much plastic. Like, a whole lot. One the one hand, Hasbro says they're bringing HeroScape back, but on the other, ain't no way it's coming back the same as it was. They're going to bleed us dry for those little pre-painted dolls--even assuming they're still pre-painted, that is.Games Played Last Week:02:22 -My Father's Work (T.C.

Much talk of animals this week, what with wombats and mass animal harvesting in Stroganov. Mark's experience was that despite covering many hot-button issues in his medical ethics classes, the one that invariably produced the most voluble emotional responses was that of medical testing on animals. Pit Bull owners, in particular; despite there being no medical testing of the type discussed on Pit Bulls. Go figure.

Both Mark and Walker will be in Vancouver from September 30th to October 2nd. Now that you know where they will be, you can more efficiently avoid them.

Enjoy the works of Thomas Lehmann while you can! Despite the lack of player interaction of Dice Realms, Mr. Lehmann has violated local, provincial, and federal law by not supplying a solo mode. International treaty has also been flouted by the absence of a campaign. I fear he may be put in boardgame jail as a consequence. Can he build a tableau convincing enough as his defence? His attorney, Dr. Gonzo, does not inspire much confidence.Games Played Last Week:01:01 -Titan (Matthieu Podevin, Holy Grail Games, 2022)09:25 -Carnegie (Xavier Georges, Quined Games, 2022)12:58 -Core Worlds: Nemesis (Andrew Parks, Quixotic Games, 2021)16:36 -Transmissions (Adam West, CrossCut Games, 2022)19:11 -burncycle (Josh J.

On Mark's drive across Canada (the first time), he stopped in Drumheller, Alberta for some dinosaur tourism. It has a truly impressive nodosaur specimen. The nodosaur is a close relative of the ankylosaur, a key difference being the former's lack of a thagomizer, the club-like appendage at the end of an ankylosaur's tail. Mark bought a plastic ankylosaur as a souvenir. Its name is Angie.Perseverance doesn't have any ankylosaurs or nodosaurs. A shame.

"My defense, Your Honour, was that I was specifically mandated by the rulebook issued by M. Xavier Georges and Quined Games to violate the lockdown restrictions issued by the Province of Ontario. I would put to you that it is unjust for the government to force me to choose between public heath measures backed by civil sanction on the one hand, and being a dirty dirty cheater on the other.

Board Game Arena gets more and more of our gaming time, what with its snappy interface and minimal system requirements. The sound effects, though, are controversial. The community seems divided on whether the whooshes are pleasing or distracting, and whether the knock-knock-knock sound is charming or nerve-wracking. We have heard the noise accused of being evocative of imminent swatting, which seems excessive but potentially horrifying.Games Played Last Week:01:07 -The Crew: The Quest for Planet Nine (Thomas Sing, KOSMOS, 2019)05:23 -MicroMacro: Crime City (Johannes Sich, Pegasus Spiele, 2020)08:26 -Flick Wars (Shaun Austin & Andrew Tullsen, Breaking Games, 2019)10:46 -No Thanks!

Rowdy en Sélène hebben een drukke avond voor de boeg. Na het opnemen van de podcast staat ook nog het in elkaar zetten van een kinderfiets op de planning.

In deze aflevering proberen ze eens wat anders met het thema 'Thema' 4:00 Welke spellen hebben we gespeeld?

Haspelknecht: The Story of Early Coal Mining, to give it its full title, is a kind of action selection game by Quined Games set in the Ruhr region of Germany. The game is set at a time when the area was still covered by forests and coal was first discovered close to the surface. During the game your task is to dig up that coal until its depleted and you have to start digging deep pits to get to this precious resource. The great mechanism in this game is the action selection element, where you draw all tokens of one colour from one of a number of common pools at the start of each round. These tokens are then used to activate your workforce and develop new technologies. It sounds simple, but it creates a really complex, interesting game with lots of options and very few player interaction.Read the full article here: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2018/12/01/haspelknecht/

DESCRIPTION: It's our Extra Life special! In this episode, Erin and Ryan talk about their Extra Life 2016 gaming charity marathon efforts, including some of the more notable games played and the unique challenges running it this year brought. GUESTS: None* *Although scheduled to include a small handful of live interviews during the Extra Life marathon taping, a series of unfortunate events prevented said people from attending. Alas. FEATURED TOPIC - (1:37 / 32:01): Every year the CR participates in Extra Life, an annual 24 hour gaming charity marathon to raise money for sick kids within the Children's Miracle Network - in our case those at the Boston Children's Hospital. We discuss aspects of this effort, including: Why we participate every year and how it helps both the cause and the gaming hobby as a whole. How we plan it every year and keep it a manageable effort, including successes and where we can improve. How people can donate to the cause. Some of the 'events' we run during that 24 hour period. Why we keep it to a rather modest campaign size.

Dobra, czwartek się jeszcze nie skończył, więc technicznie rzecz biorąc zdążyłem z publikacją. Uff. Dla odprężenia po ciężkim dniu pracy porozmawiamy sobie o suchym euro o przesuwaniu węgla po planszy. Aż piach trzeszczy w zębach.
Shelley and I get a couple of limited-run Essen 2015 releases to the table that I obtained post-show. Haspelknecht by Thomas Spitzer and produced by Quined Games has players digging for coal in the Ruhr area of Germany, using limited resources to obtain points over a 3-year period. Bomarzo by Stefano Castelli and produced by Giochix.it has players tapping the powers of mythological gods to gain prestige and influence in various areas.
Shelley and I get three newer games to the table this week, finding one less than enjoyable, one that I may be able to win Shelley over on, and one that both of us liked immediately. Cubo by Johannes Berger and Julien Gupta from Queen Games Trakkx by Thade Precht from Schmidt Spiele and The Golden Ages by Luigi Ferrini from Quined Games
American Rails es un juego diseñado por Tim Harrison, publicado por Quined Games, de 3 a 5 jugadores y unos 90 minutos de duración. American Rails lo podéis conseguir en la tienda Juégamestore por 35,00€ (Enlace patrocinado). Componentes: mapa montado y hexagonado del este del Misisipi en EEUU, cartas para las acciones de las seis compañías, cubitos en seis colores, cartas de jugador/ayuda y billetes. Descripción: En American Rails encarnamos la figura de un magnate del ferrocarril del siglo XIX en la costa este de EEUU con el propósito de convertirnos en el inversor más rico. Empezamos con un capital que invertiremos en acciones de compañías ferroviarias que conectarán sus vías entre las ciudades del mapa y que repartirán beneficios entre sus accionistas. American Rails es un juego basado en el famoso Chicago Express de John Bohrer y podría considerarse una versión muy, muy ligera del género de los 18XX. La partida comienza subastando una acción de cada una de las seis compañías que hay en el juego y a partir de ahí los jugadores expanden estas compañías por el mapa buscando su mayor revalorización. Para ello tratarán de conectar las ciudades que más ingresos reportan a la vez que entorpecer las rutas de otras compañías. Los jugadores además irán adquiriendo más acciones de las compañías con nuevas subastas. Esto hace posible que varios jugadores sean accionistas de una misma compañía dando pie a negociaciones sobre la estrategia de la compañía. Es un juego donde es muy importante saber leer la situación de la partida, evaluar el potencial de cada compañía y conocer su valor en las subastas. Pros: Reglas sencillas y rápidas de explicar. Muy fácil de jugar pero con curva de aprendizaje. Interacción y negociación entre jugadores (en el mapa, en la subasta). Cero factor azar, para los que no le guste. Alta rejugabilidad, partidas muy distintas. Orden de turno variable. Ágil, sin entreturno. Duración ajustada (90’). Cons: Conceptos poco familiares (capital de las compañías, dividendos). Mapa bastante feo, muy mejorable. Tablero de baja calidad, se comba. Cero factor azar, para los que le guste. A tres jugadores pierde, mejor a cinco. Conclusiones: American Rails se ha convertido en uno de mis juegos preferidos en los últimos meses. Me encanta comprobar cómo un juego tan sencillo de jugar donde no hay azar consigue que cada partida sea tan diferente e interesante. Cumple con uno de los principales requisitos para un buen juego: profundidad con reglas sencillas. Si te gustó Chicago Express , los juegos económicos y/o las subastas, es muy probable que te guste American Rails. No recomendable como juego de iniciación, o si no te atraen los juegos económicos donde hacer cálculos, ni el género de construcción de vías. Bola extra: Diferencias entre American Rails y Chicago Express en este hilo de la BGG (en inglés). El juego nos ha sido proporcionado por Juégame Store una tienda online que lleva Isra, conocido por muchos por ser un jugón incansable y por su buen trato con el cliente, allí podéis conseguir Este American Rails por 35,00€ (Enlace Patrocinado). Opiniones del resto de Vis Ludica: David: Tim Harrison, el autor de American Rails fue influenciado por Chicago Express a la hora de diseñar este juego, American Rails podría ser una variante de Chicago Express. El juego es bastante similar a Chicago Express pero tiene unas cuantas diferencias que a mi parecer le hacen superior: American Rails es un juego mas abierto y las compañías pueden comenzar en diferentes ciudades otorgandose los bonus de diferente manera. La otra diferencia principal son las acciones que están muy estratificadas y que crean una gran rotación a lo largo del juego, elige una buena en una ronda y sabes que en la siguiente te va a tocar una mala debido al orden de turno que se genera al seleccionar las acciones. Este tipo de juegos tienen reglas sencillas, pero son difíciles de jugar, la naturaleza abierta de American Rails a la hora de colocar las compañías hace que haya que estar pendiente incluso antes de iniciar el juego propiamente dicho. Un juego divertido y exigente con pujas de infarto que gustará a los amantes de los trenes y que es mucho mas entretenido y con opciones que Chicago Express, no es un juego en el que puedas ver su potencial en solo una partida, pero es un juego dinámico y rápido que se juega en menos de una hora, asi que es fácil que vea mesa. Calvo: Me parece increible que con unas reglas tan rápidas y tan sencillas de explicar se pueda tener un juego tan bueno. Destacaría las pujas (nunca sabes si pujas poco o mucho, genera mucha tensión) y las decisiones de la acción a elegir ( elijo esta acció que es un truño o no quiero pero la próxima soy el primero o cojo una buena y el siguiente turno me como los mocos...). Como punto negativo los componentes no me terminan de convencer (tablero combado, mapa algo estirado, hexagonos feos, caja grande con mucho aire). Prefiero la primera edición. Es un 8,5 pero solo a 4 o 5 jugadores. A 3 quizas se quede corto y no sea mas que un 7. Para jugones medios y hardcores.
