Podcasts about Reiner Knizia

Rob, Nick, Doug, and Andy chat with Jeff Dubbin, a lawyer and (at the time of recording and publication) Board Game Arena's top-ranked international player of Reiner Knizia's Lost Cities. Lost Cities is a two-player card game about staking bets and unearthing archaeological treasures. We discuss the tactics behind high-level play, the ins and outs of Elo leaderboard systems, and the emotional impact of striving to be the best in the world.  Audio edited by Dylan Shumway Discussed in this episode: Board Game Arena - Lost Cities (scroll down for leaderboards, toggle to “All Time”) https://en.boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=lostcities  Board Game Geek - Lost Cities https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/50/lost-cities Lost Cities Card Game https://store.thamesandkosmos.com/collections/lost-cities/products/lost-cities-card-game-with-6th-expedition    https://eggplant.show/  https://discord.gg/eggplant  https://www.patreon.com/eggplantshow

Hey hey BATT Family! Welcome back to another main episode of the pod. This week, since we're on a five, we've got a guest with us as we do our Top Ten Games that We Enjoy Teaching! It's a bit of an askew topic to go with, but it was selected by our guest (Erik!) and it was a fun list to go through. This did end up taking two passes to fully record as the first version of it was lost in the flood (boo!). At this point though, that should be the last time you see/hear that as an excuse because we're well beyond everything that was effected by it now. So we hope you enjoy the list and be sure to hit us up and tell us what your favourite games to teach are!  --- This episode's segments: 00:00:00 - Intro / How We Met 00:01:56 - List Selection Criteria 00:03:28 - Scott's 10 00:05:01 - Erik's 10 00:06:14 - Mark's 10 00:10:18 - Scott's 9 00:11:58 - Erik's 9 00:13:23 - Mark's 9 00:15:26 - Scott's 8 00:18:13 - Erik's 8 00:19:56 - Mark's 8 00:22:10 - Scott's 7 00:24:27 - Erik's 7 00:26:17 - Mark's 7 00:27:58 - Scott's 6 00:29:27 - Erik's 6 00:32:46 - Mark's 6 00:34:54 - Scott's 5 00:37:09 - Erik's 5 00:39:02 - Mark's 5 00:43:47 - Scott's 4 00:49:08 - Erik's 4 00:52:04 - Mark's 4 00:53:10 - Scott's 3 00:55:09 - Erik's 3 00:57:30 - Mark's 3 00:59:51 - Scott's 2 01:01:59 - Erik's 2 01:03:36 - Mark's 2 01:05:38 - Scott's 1 01:06:47 - Erik's 1 01:09:26 - Mark's 1 01:12:18 - Contact Info / Sponsors 01:13:40 - Outro --- Notes! 1) Sorry for the all of a sudden laughing at the intro of Erik's number 10. There was a great bit that just derailed the conversation we were all laughing at right before. You'll likely hear that in the next Odds and Ends episode. 2) Ironically, I had a conversation with my brother this past weekend where he told me he's never played Yahtzee. Whoops. 3) I have to now admit that Amun-Re is my favourite Reiner Knizia game. Whoops again! That said, I do enjoy the teach of High Society more, so I stand by it's inclusion in the list. And we did end up playing it after recording! 4) If it sounds like you may have missed part of the conversation during the Hogwarts Battle segment - that's because you did. The guys got distracted by comparing it to other games in it's series and it became a fairly convoluted conversation where even I had to ask which game we were talking about. So hopefully the segment comes across more naturally than I'm thinking it did because it's really late as I'm editing and I was very confused the second time around too. 5) I left the thing about gaming meta jokes in because we're in the process of recording our Board Gaming 101 episode to help you understand all of our terminology! If you have anything you're questioning or don't know the answer to, hit us up on any of our contact methods and let us know which ones we should define! (Also my exasperation is largely because we're all in this space, it seems wild they'd never heard of a point salad before.) 6) If it feels like there's not a ton of conversation about Werewolf in Erik's number 2, that's because MOST of what was there got cut for future Odds and Ends episodes. We tangented hard by just telling crazy stories. 7) This was recorded about 6 weeks before MacWagCon so it's entertaining to me that Captain Sonar showed up for two episodes in (what became) a row. Also, I meant to say First Mate instead of Navigator.  --- You can email us at boardallthetimegaming@gmail.com.

So we invited Bitewing founders Nick Murray and Kyle Spackman to chat about SILOS, other great area-control games, and board game series and franchises.

So, settle in, my merry gamers, and let the playful puns flow freely! It's sure to be another rollicking romp through the realm of tabletop tomfoolery.

Tyler is creating the art for Renier Knizia's Ichor, Lockett Studio (a really exciting project that we chat about for a bit!), and his HUGE upcoming book, Lockett Studio: Greek Gods and Heroes. Through a long time of traveling and creating, Tyler is looking to bring forth stories from throughout history and the world.Check out Tyler's work through this Linktree.Additionally, be on the lookout for Bitewing game's upcoming Kickstarter that has Ichor as one of two Knizia games specifically designed for two and put in a Greek Mythology setting.In the interview, Tyler asks for some “casual game” recommendations. At the end, I said I'd send them over and put them in the show notes. So you'll be privy to all of the words that I shared (some behind the scenes stuff here so as to not be left out. Due to that, I'll just title the sections and timestamp them instead of going into depth for each.Convergence of Art and Mythology (0:00)Digital Nomad (26:34)Lockett Studio (41:56)Wrap-up Questions [Text on Mind & Things to Look out for from Tyler] (1:02:14)GAME RECOMMENDATIONSSantorini (2) - You mentioned Chess, and this one is an “abstract” like that, but much simpler. It's really dynamic and has fun physicality. It's typically quite quick; it's my most played game of all time (has the slightest “Greek Mythology” setting to it with the special powers, but I hardly use those anyway).Prey Another Day (4-5) - This one feels as social of a card game as it gets. It's kind of like “double think” the game. Your group will make up metas and counter-metas and just be vocal through the whole experience.Ra (2-5 [two seems polarizing though]) - On the higher end of the casual spectrum, but I don't think it's too challenging to learn and teach. Designed by Reiner Knizia himself, so the game does a lot with its minimal ruleset.DroPolter (2-5) - New to my collection, but I think this one will always be with me in a game bag. It's a dexterity game where you try to drop certain pieces from your hand. If you win a round, you gain a bell as a victory point. That bell gets added to your hand, and you do not want to drop it. This game is great.Sprawlopolis (1-2) - I've only played this one solo, but it's a puzzly game using just eighteen cards. For me, it's one of several Buttonshy Games that I'll bust out if I need a quick break to play a game but do not have much time.Just One (4-7+ [the plus would need some extra white boards or paper could work too) and So Clover! (2-6) - I've had Just One longer but have technically played So Clover! more. You can't really go wrong with either, but I do think that Just One needs more people in order to make it a better experience. They're both just really social word-party games.-----vodthepod@gmail.comTwitterInstagramBuy Me a Coffee

Send us a Text Message.Will the supply of game designs from Reiner Knizia ever run out? It's doubtful, so the guys have much more exploring to do of the designer's epic catalog. We bring you part IV of that exploration. Will we find more gems? Or are these games lesser-known for a reason? They can't all be good... right?

Trading in the Mediterranean was profitable, but came with risks. Merchant ships were travelling far to seek out rare spices, precious cloths and many other valuable and lucrative goods. Once a heavily laden ship returned, the goods would be brought to market and auctioned off to the highest bidder. It was never easy to compete with the other buyers and ensure you got the best deal. It was even harder to compete with the infamous and hugely influential trading family, the Medici by Reiner Knizia from Steamforged Games.

You may have noticed this, but we like Reiner Knizia. Like a lot! He's Robert's favorite and second favorite designer after all! This week on the show, in celebration of all things Knizia, we break the rules and go off script to talk about the genius of Knizia's auction trilogy. What makes Modern Art, Ra & Medici so special? So different? Should these three games be his “auction trilogy?” Robert, Steve & Evan endeavor to find out!   Want to ask a question or give us your two cents?

Mike DiLisio takes a look at his top 10 games released in 2023 by designer Reiner Knizia! To purchase many of the games listed in our Top 10s of 2023 follow this (paid link):

At a recent board game day at the library, I was left as the odd man out. That did not bother me. I was happy to see so many people playing games. A fellow game nerd has his bag of games there. He said I could have a look, so I did. He had For Sale, a game that has been mentioned by a few guests and has come up in a few books. I sat down with it, opened the box, and was immediately distracted by the insert advertising the Bookshelf Series. Now, this was an old advertisement. It only listed games one through ten or twelve. There are now twenty-nine.Anyway, I had heard of a few of these games, and recognized a few of the designers. Reiner Knizia had a few games in this collection, and I was curious how much they would be. Being in a library, I just walked next door to the computer lab to take a look. I bought three of his games: Gem Dealer, High Society, and Looting London. I got all three, shipped, for under $40.What started off as learning a game that I wanted to play turned into a purchase of three games, and an episode about Reiner Knizia's High Society.In High Society, you and your coworkers are wealthy influencers in the 19th century. You are trying to bid for luxury items and multipliers of your wealth while avoiding misfortune. While you amass your luxurious possessions, it is imperative to keep an eye on your fortune. While the player with the most luxurious collection wins, that player must NOT have the lowest fortune left in hand. In other words, can you balance your wealth and opulence better than your coworkers, and be part of the High Society?HIGH SOCIETY on BGG
