This clever card game from IELLO forces you to play with a reverse hand—meaning everyone else at the table can see your cards, but you are left entirely in the dark about your own exact values. And even with a blind hind, you must predict exactly how many tricks you will win or take a safe bet to limit your points won. For those who believe true friendship is only forged in the fires of mutual betrayal, Renegade Game Studios' Diplomacy: The Golden Blade delivers the ultimate test. This iteration strips away the classic board and map, transforming the legendary grand strategy experience into a fast-paced card game. What it gains in speed, it may not bring home the tension that you feel when playing the original. But be honest, if you love Diplomacy, but don't have five hours, then this might be one to consider. Fruit Island is a casual strategy game by the legendary designer Reiner Knizia that balances accessible mechanics for all ages. Set on a quiet jungle island, players step into the fast-moving shoes of monkeys racing to harvest as much exotic fruit while avoiding a gorilla that wants what you have worked so hard for. If you are enjoying those games where you are going against some in a straight up slugfest, then DC: Brave & Bold by Resurrection Games may be something to check out. Instead of a dice pool with random likes like games before, this is a bag builder with chits and the only thing stopping you from pulling them out is your determination. This one is coming out later this year, but if going to Gen Con, be sure to schedule some time for a demo. Altay: Seafarers expands the horizon of civilization-building, taking the core deck-building and area-control mechanics of Ares Games' Altay: Dawn of Civilization and casting them out into deep, uncharted waters. This expansion introduces a brand-new “Forgotten Sea” board, rules for shipbuilding, and naval combat that injects mobility to the map. It introduces the Waterfolk faction, a magical, ocean-dwelling faction that can manipulate actions and navigate the waves without needing ships at all. If you enjoyed Altay and find it on the table often, be sure to check out this expansion.

Welcome to another episode of The Board Boys Podcast! This time around we are live from BGGCon and introducing a couple of new voices with a suprise guest swap in the middle of the episode! We talk about a slew of new hotness played at the convention and we do a main review of The Hobbit: There and Back Again from Office Dog and Reiner Knizia! Also on this episode, Jeremy has a hard time with slide puzzles we stumble over some words, is it Bouba or is it a Kiki? We talk about a really fun BB Dave throwback story and why can't Rob pronounce "boing"?

UPDATE - WE GOT ONE RULE WRONG ON DRAGONARIUM, MAKING THE GAME HARDER THAN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN! We SAID that you were supposed to move your assistant and ONLY place a gem on the FINAL spot where the assistant stopped. THE REAL RULE is that you place a gem on a spot in EACH COLUMN OR ROW you get to as you move. That makes the game less difficult and opens up the chances to gain more dragons, which is a VERY good thing! This week we check out a fun card game, and then preview a very cool puzzle game with dragons! First up is Meister Makatsu by Reiner Knizia from AMIGO where each player had their own deck and you're tryin gto avoid taking points. Then we place domino-style tiles and hope to birth dragons in Dragonarium by Wei Chang and Kuan Chen from Wonderful World Board Games Remember to SUBSCRIBE!

Framing can be important! It's the difference between me introducing you to “my wife, Wendy” and my “good friend, Wendy.” In that case, it's also a deciding factor on how awkward the car ride home will be! But how does this factor into board games? Do the same mechanics with different descriptions change the feel and flow of a game? Setting the stage with a mind blowing example from the table of none other than Reiner Knizia himself - Evan, Robert and Steve dive in on this week's show!

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. We can be found at www.boardallthetime.com and on Facebook at Board All The Time.
