Mark and Walker explore how sophisticated the rejoinder "git gud" can be, perhaps indicating that they are getting good at unhelpful trash talking. Perhaps anything can be an art. Perhaps being a better degerenate is truly the life lesson they have extracted from their years as hobbyists; Mark's experiences have certainly turned him into a fantasy racist.

Episode 11, where we sail away with Rum & Bones: Second Tide. RB:ST is a standalone, second edition of Cool Mini Or Not's Rum & Bones, and is a 2-6 player game modelled after the ever popular MOBA style of PC games... but with pirates! We share our thoughts on it - and we have lots! - and definitely plan on revisiting this title again in a future episode down the road, as it's been a contentious one for us. Our Music With Board Games segment continues with our suggestions based on what we listened to throughout our pirating affairs.. We're once again joined by Joe, who shares with us his experiences in playing Blood Rage (another CMON game!) and Guillotine (a card game from 1998, all about becoming the best guillotine operator you can be). We also had the fortune of coming across a copy of Witness, the cooperative deduction game based on the Blake & Mortimer IP. After a solid 8 plays, we're excited to tell as many people as we can to track down a copy, and pine for it to receive another print run. 0:02:24 - Blood Rage 0:03:53 - Guillotine 0:07:10 - Witness 0:17:46 - Rum & Bones: Second Tide - What's a MOBA? 0:19:29 - Rum & Bones: Second Tide - Rules 0:25:21 - Rum & Bones: Second Tide - What's New? 0:28:12 - Rum & Bones: Second Tide - Theme & Components 0:44:47 - Rum & Bones: Second Tide - Gameplay 1:12:19 - Rum & Bones: Second Tide - Final Thoughts 1:18:19 - Music With Board Games Questions?

Episode 9, the one where we try to stay calm while engaged in submarine warfare (and fail)! Captain Sonar is a real-time, team game for 2-8 players, and we weigh in on whether it's great fun on just great stress. Our Music With Boardgames segment included some great fan suggestions, though it should be noted that the sonar soundbite used in the podcast is not from the YouTube video originally linked to us; the original creeped Robert out too much! Joe extends his thanks to Chris Cantrell (of Riot Games) after receiving a resolution on his defective crystal (from Mechs Vs Minions). We also had the opportunity to play the older (and sadly now out of print) WarHammer 40k strategy game Forbidden Stars (from Fantasy Flight Games) and give our initial impressions. Rum & Bones: Second Tide (Cool Mini Or Not) is arriving in the mail and we gave the core box a quick spin. Also from CMON, our Arcadia Quest: Inferno kickstarter arrived in one giant shipment, and we're plugging our way through the new campaign therein. Finally, Joe saw The Great Wall: the movie where Matt Damon fights monsters on the Great Wall of China.
