AC and Isaac welcome John Michael Greer back to the Plant Cunning Podcast for a wide-ranging conversation on mundane astrology and the Saturn–Neptune conjunction at 0° Aries on February 20. Greer explains mundane astrology as astrology applied to world events, emphasizing traditional tools like ingress charts for solstices and equinoxes, eclipse charts, and great conjunctions, and describing astrology as an empirical craft built from long historical observation. The episode explores why 0° Aries functions as a zodiac “reset button,” why Saturn (form, limits, structure) combining with Neptune (dissolution, unity, imagination, delusion) suggests major shifts. They discuss competing ways of timing the Age of Aquarius, including the 2020 Jupiter–Saturn conjunction in Aquarius as a possible “dawn” marker, and critique utopian 1960s portrayals of Aquarius, noting traditional rulership by Saturn and the difficult, disruptive qualities associated with Uranus (and Rahu as co-ruler in Vedic astrology). Greer ties Uranus-in-Gemini cycles to U.S. history and “elite replacement” periods, framing current politics as another transition that may include bureaucratic contraction and social conflict without necessarily implying “the end of everything.” Additional themes include long-term decline versus sudden collapse, climate volatility, ice-sheet destabilization, karmic causality as “action and consequence” rather than retribution, and esoteric ideas like Dion Fortune's “initiation of the nadir” as a potential collective turning point amid peak global population. 02:53 Mundane Astrology101: The Oldest Branch of Astrology & How It Works04:26 Tools of Mundane Astrology: Ingresses, Eclipses, and Great Conjunctions06:29 Why 0° Aries Matters: The Zodiac ‘Reset Button'08:27 Saturn Meets Neptune: Form vs Dissolution—and Why This One's Unprecedented11:50 Axial Age Echoes: Religion, Philosophy, and What Might Change Next15:50 Age of Aquarius: Uranus Energy, Myths of Utopia, and Saturn's Reality Check21:07 Tech, AI, and Civilizational Fragility26:25 When Did the Age of Aquarius Begin?5:26 Wheels Within Wheels: Stacking Cycles and What We'll Notice in Our Lifetimes36:42 Historical Parallel: Early Democracy, and How Big Shifts Start Small37:56 Athens' Democratic Experiment & the Rise of a Cultural Powerhouse38:36 Thales and the Birth of Philosophy: Reason Replaces Myth39:34 Where the Next Breakthrough Comes From: Fringe Ideas That ‘Work'41:07 Screens, AI, and a Return to Being Human (in a New Way)42:46 The Star of Bethlehem, Magi as Magicians, and Modern ‘Messiah' Speculation44:37 Aquarius vs Pisces: Why We Can't Imagine a Truly New Age45:11 Reading Dead People: Ancient Epics as a Portal to Other Mindsets46:20 Kali Yuga vs Satya Yuga: Are We in the Spiritual Winter?48:43 26,000-Year Cycles, Ancient Dread, and ‘This Is as Bad as It Gets'52:33 Saturn's Lesson: Endure, Do Your Dharma, and Get to Work54:34 Initiation of the Nadir: Hitting Rock Bottom and Rounding the Buoy58:48 Uranus in Gemini & America's Elite Replacement Cycles (Revolution–Civil War–WWII)01:05:43 Mundane Astrology Methods: Updating Planetary Meanings for the Modern World01:09:06 Mars vs Mercury Masculinity—and What a Future Dark Age Might Look Like01:13:20 Post-Collapse Cities in ‘Star's Reach': A Byzantine-Style Future01:14:06 What Determines the Shape of a Dark Age?

In this episode of Broker Daily Uncut, host Alex Whitlock is joined by Eva Loisance and Costa Arvanitopoulos to unpack the strong start to the year across Australia's property markets, with auction clearance rates across the capital cities reflecting sustained buyer urgency despite tighter borrowing conditions. While supply remains constrained and investor activity is accelerating, the discussion turns to the practical impact of reduced borrowing capacity, with brokers noting that clients on the same income today can access less than they could two to three years ago. The trio explore how that shift is influencing structuring decisions, lender selection, and turnaround priorities, particularly as some lenders deliver rapid approvals, while others lag in service and communication. The episode also examines ASIC's tightening expectations around best interests duty, with brokers facing more detailed compliance reviews and increasing requirements to clearly justify product selection, especially where a chosen loan is not the cheapest available option. Rounding out the discussion is the growing use of AI tools in mortgage broking, from policy search and complex scenario analysis to SMSF servicing calculations, and whether automation enhances broker efficiency without displacing the human judgement central to complex lending advice.

This Saturday, Brian and Jeremiah dig into a timely and controversial topic: self-representation in real estate. Using a real client example, they explore why some buyers and sellers are bypassing traditional agents, how commission structures affect negotiations, and when professional representation truly adds value, especially in complex or high-stakes transactions. The conversation expands into the broader real estate industry, MLS practices, and whether technology and AI are beginning to disrupt long-standing models. The show also tackles a critical investing issue: overconcentration risk. Through real-world stories, from individual stock success to catastrophic losses, the hosts explain how having too much money tied to a single company, property, or asset can quietly put long-term financial security at risk, even when things appear to be working. Rounding out the episode, Brian and Jeremiah revisit the BetterBuckets™ strategy and explain how separating money into protection, income, and growth buckets helps investors stay disciplined during market volatility. They discuss income-producing options, dividend stocks versus bond funds, yield traps to avoid, and why focusing on purpose rather than headlines leads to better long-term outcomes.   Listen, Watch, Subscribe, Ask! https://www.therealmoneypros.com Hosts: Brian Wiley & Jeremiah Bates ————————————————————— Ataraxis PEO https://ataraxispeo.com Tree City Advisors of Apollon: https://www.treecityadvisors.com Apollon Wealth Management: https://apollonwealthmanagement.com/ —————————————————————

This week Corporal, Sarcastro, Fatty and Banky get together to talk about options for the service staff for the POoRCHoices compound including a pitch for trained chimps and emperor penguins which get scrapped in favor of Fatty's dream of having a three-quarters scale Johnny Five from Short Circuit and a full size Jinx from Sapce Camp as part of the service crew.   They also discuss movies and shows they've been watching including the 2025 released The Toxic Avenger; One Battle After Another; The Life of Chuck; The Last Frontier; Fallout; and The Running Man (2025).  This also leads into a quick conversation of trying to watch a show with others in your household and how they tend to "cheat" on the other viewers by watching ahead. Guys weekend is starting to look promising for having running water at the cabin and plenty of cleared out snow to be able to park and do things outside.   Fatty confirms he has the karaoke set up ready to go and Corporal gets probation on sharing a room with Sarcastro provided he gets a CPAP.  Rounding it out they come up with an idea for their new John Wick style movie or show using the mascots from the fast food chains throughout the Untited States.   Intro and Outro music written and performed by Andrés Rodríguez (Androzguitar)

Send Steve a Text MessageShows fall apart for simple reasons: a dead tuner battery, a snapped string, a noisy cable. We decided to stop gambling with luck and build a compact guitar emergency kit that turns potential disasters into quick, quiet fixes. This episode is a practical, no-fluff walkthrough of the exact items that keep a set tight, your head calm, and the music flowing.We start with the non-negotiables: spare strings in your favorite gauges, a 10–20 pack of your most frequently broken single, and a fast restring setup with a winder-cutter and microfiber cloth. Then we layer in redundancy with a backup tuner and the batteries or charger it needs, so tuning is never the bottleneck. From there we tackle climate: string lubricants for glide, moisture-absorbing grip for humid nights, and a clean towel to reset your hands and fretboard when conditions get sticky or dry.Signal chain reliability is next. We stock two dependable instrument cables at 15–20 feet, a longer backup for larger stages, a couple of pedal patch leads, and one solid mic cable. If you sing, a personal vocal mic plus alcohol swabs keeps you healthy and confident. Power gets its own module: fresh 9V, AA, and AAA batteries for pedals, wireless units, and active pickups; a compact power strip; a grounded extension cord; and a small USB power bank with the right leads to save the night when outlets are scarce or far away.Rounding out the kit are the small wins that make a big difference: a handful of your favorite picks, a capo and slide for sudden key changes or creative turns, a backup strap plus a generic loaner, a bright pocket flashlight for dark stages, foldable guitar stands that live in the bag, and a multi-bit screwdriver for quick fixes. We also share a simple organization system—grouping by function in labeled pockets—so you can reach the right tool fast without dumping the bag.By the end, you'll have a checklist you can tailor to your rig and your band's blind spots. Prepared players play better, and a smart gig bag is the difference between panic and poise when things go sideways. If this helps you get show-ready, subscribe, share with a bandmate, and leave a quick review to tell us what you added to your kit.Thanks for being here!! I will continue to do my best to bring you the best, most informative guitar discussions to help you along your guitar journey!

On this episode of the podcast, Amanda Head, and her "Just The News, No Noise" TV news co-host John Solomon pull back the curtain on a deeply unsettling reality: the growing footprint of the Chinese Communist Party inside the United States and the dangerous consequences of Washington D.C.'s failure to confront it.From clandestine police outposts to illegal biolabs discovered in places like California and Las Vegas, Head and Solomon examine just how Chinese influence operations have moved beyond theory and into American communities. These revelations raise urgent questions about national security, public health, and whether the federal government is doing enough — or anything at all — to stop it.The investigative duo are joined by FBI Director Kash Patel, who delivers firsthand insight into what authorities uncovered during a recent lab raid and weighs in on the broader collapse of counterintelligence efforts targeting Chinese espionage. Director Patel explains why dismantling these programs has left the U.S. exposed at a critical moment. In a separate conversation, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya discusses the unresolved risks surrounding gain-of-function research and its connection to the COVID-19 pandemic. The discussion presses on what safeguards, if any, now exist and whether dangerous research tied to China has truly been halted.This episode continues with a deep dive into China's expanding intelligence operations, featuring House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Rick Crawford, who outlines what Congress is uncovering and what must be done immediately to strengthen America's defenses.

KPFA Theatre Critic Richard Wolinsky reviews “The Cherry Orchard” by Anton Chekhov at Marin Theatre through February 22, 2026.           TEXT OF REVIEW (differs slightly from final edit for time). ​​​​​For centuries, serfs had no power in Russia. They weren't quite slaves, but they also were not free. It was a feudal society, run by a powerful nobility ruled by an all-powerful Tsar. Due to societal and economic advances, that all changed in 1861 when Alexander the second freed the serfs. Even though their economic status shifted, and a new middle class was born, the old nobility carried on as before, eventually finding themselves in poverty. The great playwright Anton Chekhov wrote about these newly impoverished aristocrats, first in Uncle Vanya, and then later in his final play, The Cherry Orchard, which runs in a new production at Marin Theatre through February 22nd. The spendthrift Madame Lyubov has returned to her country estate with her two daughters, having bankrupted the family while in Paris. The estate itself is now up for auction, and the only way to save it is to sell the land to make way for a vacation home development. That means destroying the fabled cherry orchard, once a key element of the family's inheritance. The production uses a 1993 translation by Paul Schmidt, which underlines the parallels to today's world, of which there are several, while maintaining a style that makes clear this is a translation. The characters never use contractions, such as won't, can't or weren't. This combination of the modern and the archaic creates a distance, which is translated by director Carey Perloff into a heightened form of acting, most successful in the comic segments and less so in the pathos. At times the production almost feels like a musical, say, A Little Night Music, with Lyubov substituting for Desiree Armfeldt. Carey Perloff has assembled a who's who cast of Bay Area actors. Liz Sklar leads the cast as Madame Lyubov, ever the diva, and Anthony Fusco matches her as her brother Gayev, both showing the befuddlement befitting two souls who can't wrap their heads around their predicament. Then there's the comic brilliance of Danny Scheie as the neighbor Pishchik and Jomar Tagatac as the family clerk. Rounding out the Bay Area names are Leontyne Mbele-Mbong as the circus born governess and Marin Theatre artistic director Lance Gardner as Lopatkin, the serf turned businessman.. In an age when the theatrical canon is often reviled, and a time when the plays of Checkov, Ibsen and Shaw are often confined to high school, college, and community stages, creating a professional production can be a great risk. But at Marin Theatre, it's a risk well worth taking. The Cherry Orchard by Anton Chekhov, directed by Carey Perloff, plays at Marin Theatre through February 22. More more information, you can go to marintheatre.org. I'm Richard Wolinsky on Bay Area Theatre for KPFA.   The post Review: “The Cherry Orchard” at Marin Theatre appeared first on KPFA.

On today's Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…Dr. Jack Stockwell, a NUCCA Chiropractor and GAPS Practitioner in SLC, UT (866.867.5070 | ForbiddenDoctor.com | JackStockwell.com), covers the the biggest news in the health and wellness space from a holistic, naturopath perspective. In this episode, Dr. Jack begins with an explanation of who, or rather what, the Forbidden Doctor is and why it matters. Then, Dr. Jack shifts into addressing topics about which his patients have asked him, starting with cholesterol. There seems to be a push for lower and lower cholesterol, which Dr. Jack calls a fraud.Cholesterol is a waxy-type of product our bodies make because every cell in our body requires cholesterol. Liver makes cholesterol, so if there is not enough in our diet, the liver will make more. If there is enough cholesterol in our diet, the liver will make less. Dr. Jack shares a study that looks into low cholesterol, and longterm lower cholesterol in elderly patients leads to a higher rate of death.  As a NUCCA Chiropractor and GAPS Practitioner, hold of Dr. Jack's focus of practice is helping his patients change the road their body is on, and that has to do with changing lifestyle choices with diet being the primary focus.Now, if your cholesterol is critically low and always has been (without the use of drugs to make it low), then that's a different issue. For some people, it may just be genetic, but it's important to have your liver checked to make sure it's not something to do with liver disease.Rounding out the conversation, Doug joins Dr. Jack to answer listener questions, including how to protect your body from cold, wet weather. The discussion continues how the body reacts wherever you live and various types of climate, and the important controls of the nervous system for the body.  Website: GoodDayHealthrShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

The panel also explores Victorian-era curse words, blasphemy laws, and creative alternatives to modern profanity, blending history with humor. Rounding out the show are hands-on segments featuring crystal-growing crafts, Super Bowl snack ideas, sourdough recipes, and Badlands community banter, making this episode equal parts cultural analysis, history lesson, and laid-back Monday hang.

The Assassin's Creed games specialise in recreating the places and sounds of the past. But how can we know what music our ancestors listened to? If we can, how well does ancient music work within a modern audience's expectations of what music is? And how does making music for a video game differ from all the other forms of entertainment we have today?Dr Holly Nielsen is joined by Steph Economou, the composer for the Assassin's Creed Valhalla: The Siege of Paris and Dawn of Ragnarok, for which she won the first ever Grammy award for video game music. Rounding out the trio is Ari Mason, who performed on both scores, and who is a specialist in the art of historical performance. Together, they can shed light on the fascinating process of transporting us to the past through music.Echoes of History is a Ubisoft podcast, brought to you by History Hit.

On today’s episode, Rickey Smiley and the crew dove into President Trump’s renewed Greenland ambitions, with the administration touting a “framework” for a long‑term deal discussed at the World Economic Forum. Trump emphasized that he would not use military force and framed the agreement as a strategic security partnership involving NATO and Arctic operations, particularly focusing on mineral rights, missile‑defense initiatives, and Arctic security collaboration. Meanwhile, Pole to Pole star Will Smith described his terrifying near‑death experience while scuba diving beneath ten‑foot‑thick North Pole ice, recalling how he accidentally dislodged his oxygen mask before being pulled to safety—an ordeal he later described as both harrowing and spiritual. The crew also discussed reports of Lakers governor Jeanie Buss privately bristling at LeBron James’ influence within the franchise—tension reportedly fueled by disagreements over roster decisions and her belief that LeBron showed limited appreciation after the team drafted Bronny James. Rounding out the show, Stefon Diggs publicly praised girlfriend Cardi B for her unwavering support during his Patriots playoff run, crediting her for becoming an enthusiastic football fan and celebrating their growing family.

We open this episode with Vicky Merrick, who shares insights from her groundbreaking pilot projects on collaborative assessment. Vicky explains how "comparative judgment" is revolutionizing subjective subjects like Art and Music, allowing teachers to achieve high statistical reliability by comparing student work rather than deciphering complex rubrics. Following Vicky, Mark House from RM broadens the discussion to the "global conundrum" of assessment in the age of AI. Mark argues that we must "measure what we treasure" rather than letting technology dictate values, emphasizing the importance of local context such as honoring rural community values and addressing the disconnect between passing exams and possessing the skills employers actually need. Rounding out the conversation, Nici Foote passionately advocates for bringing "joy" back into learning and ensuring digital inclusion. Nici discusses how tools like Canva are leveling the playing field for neurodiverse students even making complex tasks like timetabling fun and challenges the narrative around phone bans. Instead of bans, she suggests building "analogue communities" for balance while teaching authentic digital skills, and calls for affordable resources to support Teaching Assistants (TAs), whom she identifies as the "missing link" in special education.

A Winter Tradition Takes Root Frederick County's beloved Restaurant Week returns for its fifth anniversary, bringing 26 diverse eateries together for a week-long celebration of local flavor. Running from January 26th through February 1st, 2026, FredCo Eats has evolved from a modest 15-restaurant launch into a cornerstone event that strengthens the entire regional food economy. In this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael welcomes Wendy May, Marketing Manager for the Frederick County Economic Development Authority, and Dan Myers, owner of Paladin Bar and Grill, to discuss how this initiative has transformed the local dining landscape. Recording from Paladin's original Stephens City location, the trio explores what makes this year's event particularly special. From COVID Recovery to Community Catalyst The story behind FredCo Eats reveals a strategic response to challenging times. Wendy explains that the Economic Development Authority launched the program five years ago as the region emerged from the pandemic. At that time, the organization recognized a critical gap in their community relationships—they needed stronger connections with local restaurants and agricultural producers. Rather than creating a standalone event, however, the EDA developed FredCo Eats as an umbrella brand. This approach allows the initiative to serve as a messaging hub that elevates existing efforts across the entire food economy, from farm crawls to agricultural conferences. Now, the brand is expanding into a standalone website at fredcoeats.com, which will launch in March as a comprehensive resource for anyone looking to start, scale, or expand a food or beverage business in the region. Diverse Dining Options for Every Palate This year's lineup demonstrates remarkable variety in both cuisine and participation style. Restaurants can choose from three categories: multi-course menus, meal deals, or promotional discounts. This flexibility ensures that food trucks, cafes, and fine dining establishments can all participate in ways that make sense for their operations. Among the multi-course menu participants, diners will find Carrabba's Italian Grill, Clem's Kitchen, Curry Cuisine, P2 at Woolen Mill, Paladin, Sal & Gino's, and Vault and Cellar. Meanwhile, meal deal options include Blue Ridge Baking Company, Daily Buzz Cafe (at both Middletown and Stephens City locations), Donut Dive food truck at Weber's Nursery, and Franklin's Smokin Barnyard, also operating from Weber's parking lot. Additionally, the roster features Jordan Springs Market, Laurel Cafe at Laurel Ridge Community College, Mi Ranchito, Paco's Market and Paco's Mexi Mart, Pan D Endz Jamaican Cuisine, Poblanos, Shaffer's Barbecue and Market, both Shawnee Springs Market locations, and West Oaks Farm Market. Rounding out the list, Bam Bam's Barbecue food truck, Italian Touch, and Touch of Italy offer percentage-off promotions. The Original Gangsters Eight establishments have participated every single year since the program's inception, demonstrating their commitment to the community initiative. Both Paladin locations, Vault and Cellar, Daily Buzz, Jordan Springs Market, Paco's Market, Shaffer's Barbecue, and Bam Bam's Barbecue have been there from day one. Paco's journey particularly exemplifies the growth Restaurant Week has witnessed. Starting as a food truck called Paco's Tacos during the first event, the business has since expanded to include Paco's Market and later Paco's Mexi Mart - a testament to how local food businesses can thrive with community support. Local Sourcing Takes Center Stage Dan shares his enthusiasm about this year's special approach at Paladin. For the fifth anniversary, his team is focusing heavily on local sourcing, partnering with West Oaks Farm Market for beef, Spring Valley Greens, obtaining mushrooms from his cousin Jessica Neff at Apple Hill Farm, and incorporating microgreens from Robbie D's operation. Furthermore, Dan reveals that Paige Cross at Farm to Fork (formerly Flour and Water) in Woodstock supplies all the bread for Paladin's restaurants—a behind-the-scenes collaboration that many diners never realize exists. These partnerships not only enhance menu quality but also circulate dollars throughout the local economy. The Stephens City location will feature meatballs, cast-iron cornbread, and locally sourced ingredients, while P2 in Clearbrook will offer a completely different, yet similar menu, including scotch eggs, bruschetta, mushroom carbonara, and duck—proteins that rarely appear on local menus.  More Than Just a Meal Restaurant Week offers participants the chance to win prizes through a passport program. Diners who collect stamps from three or more participating restaurants can enter drawings for prize packs, with each additional stamp beyond three counting as an extra entry. The more restaurants you visit, the better your chances of winning. Passports are available for download and printing at fredcoeats.com, with limited physical copies available at participating restaurants and the Winchester Frederick County Convention and Visitors Bureau. If diners forget to get a stamp, they can submit a photo or receipt as proof of their visit. Beyond individual participation, the event encourages businesses to support one another. Realty companies and other local businesses often bring lunch back to the office or take their teams out during Restaurant Week, creating a "biz-to-biz" camaraderie that strengthens the entire community. Strategic Timing and Lasting Impact The decision to schedule Restaurant Week during the last week of January proves strategic on multiple levels. This timing addresses the natural lull that restaurants experience after the holiday season but before Valentine's Day, providing a much-needed boost during slower months. Moreover, it gives diners a compelling reason to venture out during cold, dark winter evenings when staying home feels more appealing. For restaurant owners like Dan, the event creates exciting internal dynamics as well. His teams at the Stephens City and Clearbrook locations engage in friendly competition throughout the week, tracking which location sells more of each menu item. This competitive spirit energizes staff and drives creativity in menu development. Wendy notes that over the five years, Restaurant Week has fostered genuine relationships among participating restaurants. What began as simple cross-promotion has evolved into restaurant owners visiting each other's establishments, trying menus, meeting staff, and building lasting professional connections that extend well beyond the event itself. Looking Ahead As FredCo Eats enters its sixth year of planning, the initiative continues expanding its mission. The upcoming fredcoeats.com website will serve as a central hub connecting aspiring food entrepreneurs with resources from the county, state, and federal levels, including financing options, contacts at the Extension office, the Small Business Development Center, and the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. This evolution reflects the program's broader vision: creating a sustainable ecosystem where homesteaders can learn to scale their backyard operations, food trucks can transition to brick-and-mortar locations, and established restaurants can continue growing—all while maintaining the unique character that makes Frederick County's food scene special. Registration for future Restaurant Weeks remains open year-round, with the event consistently scheduled for the last Monday of January. As Wendy emphasizes, the more the community supports local establishments, the more these businesses can thrive and maintain the distinctive flavor that sets Frederick County apart. For complete menus, participating restaurant details, and passport downloads, visit fredcoeats.com and follow the event on Facebook and Instagram using #FredCoEats and #FredCoEatsRW.

The Rickey Smiley Morning Show dives into a whirlwind of celebrity headlines, beginning with the fiery social‑media clash between Nicki Minaj and Don Lemon. Minaj harshly criticized Lemon for livestreaming an anti‑ICE church protest, using language widely condemned as a homophobic slur, prompting Lemon to publicly fire back and call her “out of her depth,” “ignorant,” and “a homophobic bigot.” Adding to the show's drama recap, longtime Real Housewives star NeNe Leakes has reportedly secured a multi‑million‑dollar settlement in her racial‑discrimination lawsuit against Bravo and is now set to return to the network—an unexpected reconciliation considering her 2022 accusations that the network tolerated a hostile, racially insensitive environment. Meanwhile, the internet is buzzing over Luenell and Al B. Sure, whose affectionate videos and public coziness have sparked widespread dating speculation. Though some fans suspect trolling or a PR stunt, others note the pair’s genuine chemistry, deepening connection, and Luenell’s long history of guarding her private life—making this unexpected pairing even more intriguing.

First up is Night Soil where we are basically poop pushers through the streets of London in the 15th century. This game cleverly challenges players with a worker placement style of game that can fill both rewarding and frustrating at the same time. Then comes Tulip Bubble, which flips the tone entirely. Gone is the damp, stinky sewers—now you're in the bustling markets of 17th‑century Holland, chasing fortunes in the most famous economic bubble in history. The game thrives on timing, speculation, and reading your opponents as much as the market itself. Prices rise, collapse, and ricochet with emotional volatility, and every round feels like a miniature psychological standoff. It's fast, sharp, and deliciously stressful in the best way. Rounding out the games are Mini Express and Ichor, two games that couldn't be more different yet both deliver rich strategic tension. Mini Express is a lean, elegant rail game built on shared incentives: every track you lay and every share you take strengthens someone else as much as you. It's a puzzle of timing, tempo, and subtle positioning. Ichor, on the other hand, plunges players into a Greek mythology world where asymmetric power challenges players in an Othello style game. Its resource‑driven push‑and‑pull creates a brooding atmosphere, rewarding ambition while constantly reminding you that brillant flashes of strategy can suddenly disappear before your next turn. Together, these four games form a wonderfully varied journey each offering its own flavor of tension and delight. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
