Shelley and I tackle two ends of the complexity spectrum in this week's episode, loving every minute of both experiences. On the less complicated, family-friendly end of the spectrum, we try out Everdell's little sibling My Lil' Everdell by James A. and Clarissa A. Wilson then we get much more complex, but in wonderful ways, as we make champagne in Dom Pierre by Rola and Costa from R&R Games and Pile Up Games  Remember that you can support the podcast by going to www.patreon.com/garrettsgames or checking out our games for sale on this document:  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16ovRDNBqur0RiAzgFAfI0tYYnjlJ68hoHyHffU7ZDWk/edit#gid=0

Much art is discussed this week, from French Romantics, to pirate stuff, to conspiracist vision boards, to whatever Walker is doing when he uses clothespins on felt. Mark wonders whether he can justify leaving in dead air and calling it "bold use of negative space," but the deeper worry is that too many people would prefer the silence.

Your favorite boys are back for another episode tackling the latest, greatest from Huch! and R & R Games, Witchstone. The latest from famed designer Reiner Knizia has players assuming the role of wizards working to recharge the legendary Witchstone. Also this episode: Tim is back and reserves the mantle of board boy number six; Rob gets his gaming fix and make some money in the process; Cam gets his gaming fix and loses some money (lots) in the process; we get this year's BGG Secret Santa and so much more!

This Point Salad feels like a Stefan Feld design, but it's not! It's Co-designed by Reiner Knizia, and uses an action selection mechanism borrowed from his classic Ingenius for a great puzzly, yet smooth medium weight Euro Game published by R&R Games.   0:00 - Introduction 0:27 - 1 Minute Overview 1:39 - 1 Minute Final Thoughts 2:34  - Full Introduction 3:05  - Full Game Overview 11:34  - Full Final Thoughts 15:47 - Saxophone Serenade BGG: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/318560/witchstone   Additional Sponsors: Bezier Games (Maglev Metro) https://beziergames.com/collections/all-games/products/maglev-metro   Grey Fox Games (Last Light) - https://lastlightgame.com/   Arcane Wonders (Picture Perfect) - https://www.arcanewonders.com/product/picture-perfect/   Game Toppers - https://game-toppers-30-upgrading-every-game-you-play.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders The Game Boy Geek Helps You “Find & Enjoy the Next Board Game You'll Love” with new content at least every other day.  Meet up on these Web & social media platforms: Website - www.GameBoyGeek.com Facebook - http://www.Facebook.com/TheGameBoyGeek Twitter - http://www.Twitter.com/TheGameBoyGeek Instagram - http://www.Instagram.com/TheGameBoyGeek Podcast - RSS - http://gameboygeek.podbean.com/feed/ Podcast iTunes - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/game-boy-geek-hi-quality-hi/id1042741475

Shelley and I roll and draw our way through the four seasons using arrays in  Blätterrauschen by Paolo Mori from KOSMOS then we plan our actions by building in our cauldrons to develop energy, move crystals, enlist our witch clan, and gather potions, etc. in Witchstone by Dr. Reiner Knizia and Martino Chiacchiera from R&R Games and HUCH!

All right, we need to talk about Sokka. Another staple of kid's shows is often The Annoying One. I don't know why, but they're often there. Steven Universe had Ronaldo, but they knew to use him sparingly. Sokka is so aggressively obnoxious in the first two episodes it is a miracle anyone makes it to episode three. He could have just been the complainer, but additionally his monumental and gratuitous misogyny is so bad that one wonders what Suki (an awesome character) ever saw in him. Sure, he gets better, but always in my mind the Early Days Sokka looms over the show like some terrible shadow.00:59 AYURIS: On Mars (Vital Lacerda, Eagle-Gryphon Games, 2020)Games Played Last Week:02:33 -Cryo (Tom Jolly & Luke Laurie, Z-Man Games, 2021)07:22 -Red Outpost (Raman Hryoryk, Lifestyle Boargames Ltd, 2019)11:38 -Cantaloop: Book 1--Breaking into Prison (Friendemann Findeisen & Grzegorz Kobiela, Lookout Games, 2020)15:36 -Brass: Birmingham (Gavan Brown, Matt Tolman, & Martin Wallace, Roxley, 2018)19:14 -Clever Cubed (Wolfgang Warsch, Schmidt Spiele, 2020)21:09 -Sleeping Gods (Ryan Laukat, Red Raven Games, 2021)23:38 -PARKS (Henry Audubon, Keymaster Games, 2019)27:16 -Shards of Infinity: Into the Horizon (Gary Arant, Justin Gary, Ryan Sutherland, Jared Saramago, Mataio Wilson, & Jason Zila, Stone Blade Entertainment, 2021)29:19 -Pickomino Deluxe (Reiner Knizia, Zoch Verlag, 2018)31:53 -Witchstone (Martino Chiacchiera & Reiner Knizia, R&R Games, 2021)34:48 -Empire of the Stars (Adam West, CrossCut Games, 2021)40:15 -The Grimm Masquerade (Tim Eisner, Ben Eisner, & James Hudson, Druid City Games, 2019)News (and why it doesn't matter):45:53 Fundraiser on Twitch for Food Banks Canada on October 2nd at 3 PM EST.Guests: No Pun Included, Board Game Barrage, the SVWAG crew!

Titles, as Herr Doktor Doktor Vincent Diesel, esq. O.B.E. could tell you, are important things. They must be recorded for posterity, quite literally in the case of Dogberry: "But masters, remember that I am an ass, though it be not written down, yet forget not that I am an ass." Mark and Walker are bereft of such honorifics; "Gilded Ones" apparently only applies if you go the full gilt route, which sounds way too painful to endorse. Whether philosophers get any titles past "lovers of wisdom" is a matter of some controversy; Mark weighs in all the same.

Shelley and I check out version #4 of a Knizia classic Medici: The Dice Game by Reiner Knizia from Grail Games and then head to Africa with a bit of problematic theming but a great game to re-review in Mombasa by Alexander Pfister from R&R Games

Shelley and I head to the Ganges river valley once again to check out a bunch of expansions that come in TWO Goodie Boxes for  Rajas of the Ganges by Inka and Markus Brand from R&R Games then we draft dice and attempt to save important valuables from the sinking city of Atlantis in  Atlandice by Shaun Graham and Scott Huntington from Ludonaute

Shelley and I work at building our respective modular-board regions with various hex-tile buildings in Castles of Tuscany by Stefan Feld from alea then we attempt to build up both our wealth and fame (until they cross in  Rajas of the Ganges: The Dice Charmers by Inka and Markus Brand from R&R Games

Shelley and I check out two more Essen titles this week, two "C" games that are both beautiful to look at and fun to play: Coralia by Michael Rieneck from R&R Games and Carrossel by Antonio Sousa Lara from MEBO Games

Fatherhood is the overall theme of this week's episode. Imagine Harry Chapin's Cat's in the Cradle, except with the father played by Vladimir the Great and the son by Svyatopolk the Accursed. "When you coming home, dad?" asks the Accursed, to which the reply is "I don't know when. But we'll get together then, son." And then, the son allegedly murders several of his siblings in a vicious power struggle. Just like in the song! Folk music of the seventies is more bloodthirsty than many people recall. Remember that Cat Stevens song about the wars of the Diadochi? It was even better than his acoustic rendering of the murder of the Romanovs.Games Played Last Week: -Letter Jam 4m01s (Ondra Skoupý, CGE, 2019)-Codenames: Duet 8m22s (Vlaada Chvátil & Scot Eaton, CGE, 2017)-Spirit Island 9m57s (R.

Shelley and I had a fantastic time getting  Fast Forward FEAR by Friedemann Friese from Stronghold Games and Rajas of the Ganges by Inka and Markus Brand from R&R Games to the table

The math guy in the group got messed up counting to 3, so this one is a bit late. But as usual we start with some games we've played Sid Meyers Civilization Grimm Forest Cytosis Trajan Photosynthesis Coffee Roaster We then move on to the main topic - Rajas of the Ganges. R&R Games usually does one euro a year and Graeme always gets them. Rajas is this years, so does it stack up? Is it a simple race game? Are there multiple paths to victory? Did everybody enjoy it (if you know the group, you should already know the answer to that last one!)

This week, Anthony and Chris dig into the top 10 battle games - board games that are primarily built around combat. These are not wargames, but mid-heavy weight board games that utilize some of the core mechanisms we know and love from wargames and board games alike to create a unique, combat-oriented experience. Listen to our top 10 picks in this category.  In addition, we share our recent plays and dig into the question of the week, with answers from the listeners - discussing their most controversial takes in gaming. Next up, we share our acquisition disorders with Twilight of the Gods and the new Stefan Feld game, Merlin.  We also share two reviews At the Table. Anthony digs into Barcelona: Rose of Fire from Devir and discusses how it holds up in multiple group settings. Chris then dives into Ulm from R&R Games to see if it's heavy enough for long term play.    Make sure to connect with us on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/boardgamersanonymous), Twitter (http://twitter.com/bgapodcast), and on our website (http://www.boardgamersanonymous.com). You can also support us with just $1 on Patreon (http://www.patreon.com/bga). Every donation helps us to put out more great content week to week. 

This week, Anthony and Chris dig into euro-mega-designers Uwe Rosenberg and Stefan Feld to determine once and for all, who does it better. In this special designer edition of our VS. feature, we'll look at the games of both designer, as well as their impact on gaming and overall fun-factor for us to determine which comes out ahead. We also ask the listeners in our question of the week who they'd pick if they could only have one library of games.  In our acquisition disorders, Anthony looks at Dragon Island, the new game from R&R Games and Mike Fitzgerald coming later this fall, and Chris looks at Vast after his first play as the Goblins. While not a full review, hear Chris's first impressions of this incredibly unique asymmetrical game, plus thoughts on the expansions coming for it soon.  The guys dig into recent plays as well. Anthony shares his thoughts and recommendation for Yamatai, the newest from Days of Wonder and designer duo Bruno Cathala and Marc Paquien. Chris then shares his recent play through of Delve, the Carcassonne-like mashup from Indie Boards and Cards.  If you enjoy the episode, make sure to leave us a review on iTunes.
