The fun doesn't stop there—together, we'll debate, defend, and dissect whether their rankings hit the mark or missed the mark entirely. We also get to hear all about their new game coming to Kickstarter called Battle Monsters. This is a reimplement of Battle Masters from 1992.

Welcome back to the off-week BATT content! This week's episode is a return to our series of The Games That Made Us. This episode is about The Omega Virus and how it impacted Mark as a child, what influences it had on his love of themes and gaming, and just generally celebrating how far ahead of the rest of the industry it was at the time of it's release. Mark's copy of The Omega Virus is almost a sacred item in his hagiography because of how much it really did influence him as a person and how the effects of playing that game solo for so many years really did shape him to be the person he is now. If you've played it before, then have fun walking down memory lane. If you've not, then get hyped about it and the eventual new release that Restoration Games is working on. Thanks for listening to this episode and we'll catch you next week for Episode 13. --- You can email us at boardallthetimegaming@gmail.com. We can be found at www.boardallthetime.com and on Facebook at Board All The Time.  We're on BlueSky now and loving it!

In this episode of The Gateway Gamers Podcast, Bryan Marvel and Rp Walsh dive into the gritty streets of Hell's Kitchen to take on the Marvel edition of the Unmatched gaming system from Restoration Games. They'll be dishing out justice as they break down the battle between Bullseye, Daredevil, Elektra, and the Hand Ninjas! Can these heroes and villains go toe-to-toe without missing a beat? Or will they end up blinded by their own moves? Get ready for a daredevil discussion packed with comic book quips and hard-hitting gameplay insights. It's going to be an episode that hits the mark every time—no super senses required!

In addition to comics, I also really love board games. In the past 7 years or so I have played so many different games, in large part thanks to CBY contributor and my friend, Dan Nixon. My favorite current game is UnMatched by Restoration Games. Dan and I hold an UnMatched Tournament at my house every January. UnMatched is the "ultimate battle between unlikely fighters" with sets that include legendary characters, literary ones, and some of your favorite Marvel heroes. Now, Jason Taylor, the Visual Restoration Wizard of Restoration Games, joins me and Dan Nixon on the podcast to talk about his role at Restoration Games and to discuss their newest Kickstarter for UnMatched Adventures: TMNT. That's right, it's the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles joining the world of UnMatched, with a different artist taking on the task of bringing a different turtle to life. You can sign up here to be notified when the Kickstarter goes live on October 1st: https://restorationgames.com/tmnt-sign-up/. It was great to chat with Jason and I cannot wait for this set and play the co-op game but also see how the Turtles stack up against Sherlock Holmes or Buffy or Daredevil.  From the publisher Unmatched Adventures: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is the second title in the co-operative Unmatched Adventures series. Play as Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo to take down Shredder or fight off Krang. They'll be joined by a host of TMNT characters.

Justin Jacobson, owner and president of Restoration Games, joins the show to talk about what drives the company, especially as it's doing something quite different in the hobby board game space. In a world of “digital” remakes, remasters, and re-imaginings of all sorts of different texts, there really aren't many analogous examples in the analog space. Hearing a lot of the story of Restoration Games, having a lengthy chat about one of my favorite game systems (I say one of, but it's probably number one), and everything in-between makes this a very special episode.Check out the Restoration Games website here.Games, Law, and a Perfect Partnership (0:00)Introductory information about the things Justin was playing, his work in law, and how all of that came together when he first started working with Rob Daviau.

Heather Vaughan is a phenomenal artist (and living in Philly!) whose cover work, in particular, I have been seeing pop up all over the indie comics scene. Heather's artwork can also be seen in several board games, including one of my favorites from Restoration Games, the UNMATCHED Buffy set. Heather and I have a wonderful chat about her influences and what led her to work in both goard games and comics, plus we get to talk a bit about the Philadelphia Eagles (Go Birds!) and the Philly food scene. I loved chatting with Heather and you're gonna love this episode too. Be sure to check out Heather's website after you listen.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We interviewed Justin Jacobson, the president of Restoration Games, a board game company that makes a number of awesome games including Fireball Island, Return to Dark Tower, and the Unmatched series.Drew is a HUGE board game fan and saw on Twitter that Justin had recently taken a voyage on the Halcyon so we reached out to hear about Justin's experience in the board game world and his thoughts about the Galactic Starcruiser experience. It was fun to hear his perspective as a professional in the tabletop gaming world.Restoration GamesRestoration Game on Twitter

We apologize for the all-caps implied yelling, but really, given this volume we had to have a corresponding... uh, volume. The puns are also somewhat fishy--but those you can feel free to skip, jack. The nautical theme doesn't end with fishing, as the recent Crash Octopus (when compared with older titles that are comparatively crusty) shone. More specifically given that it's about an octopus and we want to minimize the yelling, it's a safe, low pod. Wait, no, that's the wrong family.

Sen and Erica chat with Brian Neff, the freelance developer who currently handles the Unmatched System for Restoration Games, about the process he uses for playtesting and balancing a game with an ever-expanding roster that boasts just under 40 playable characters to date. They chat about how both quantitative and qualitative data drive the development process and how the game's loyal community has been an invaluable part of the process.

We apologize for the poor quality of Mark's half of the audio this week. We offer two possible explanations. One is that Walker, motivated as he is by spite and malice, engaged in an elaborate act of sabotage so as to undermine Mark in public. The other is that Mark (the editor, mind you) messed up the audio settings. I agree that the latter is too improbable, too conspiratorial, to take seriously--but we include it for the sake of comprehensiveness.
