Podcasts are often a discursive medium, and so naturally we find ourselves touching on many and diverse topics.

Today, we put Emma in the spotlight to find out what went into designing her newest game, Abandon All Artichokes, how many cards she actually designed for it, and how the game was almost derailed by an Infinite Potato Problem. SHOW NOTES 5m44s: Magic: The Gathering and the marvelous deckbuilding video game Slay the Spire. Also check out Ludology 198 - Inspired, featuring Slay the Spire's co-designer Anthony Giovannetti. 6m00s: Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing, two video games where the player starts in a remote area with very little in the way of equipment, and ends up building a small town. 7m22s: If you want to check out more deck-wreckers, try Xenon Profiteer (one of Gil's personal favorite games), or Fine Sand. 8m39s: Don't let the bean theme throw you off. Bohnanza is one of the best trading games you'll find. 9m15s: Bonnie Pang did the wonderful art for Artichokes. 9m43s: Sushi Go, by Phil Walker-Harding and also published by Gamewright, is an excellent light drafting game. It was good enough to spawn a family of light, charming drafting games.  Phil has mentioned in passing that Sushi Go took many, many tries to get right. Another example of how hard it is to make a good, light game! 11m16s: Emma mentions some other Gamewright titles that fit a similar mold: Go Nuts for Donuts and Qwixx. 15m22s: Emma casually references Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey here. 26m29s: Seth Jaffee's article on balancing game elements and "finding the unit" is still immensely valuable to game designers everywhere. 31m59s: Cardboard Edison's publisher directory is an invaluable resource to game designers looking for a publisher for their prototypes. 48m44s: The incredibly adorable Abandon All Artichokes trailer  and its accompanying how-to-play video.  49m18s: We'll post a link to the design diary in the Ludology forums as soon as it goes online! 55m16s: Emma's first episode. 56m43s: Dominion, the game that popularized deckbuilding as an in-game mechanism.

Eminent Domain to gra karciana oparta o popularny mechanizm budowy talii. Na początku rozgrywki każdy z uczestników dysponuje taką samą, skromną talią kart. Podczas rozgrywki w naszym obszarze gry pojawiają się nowe planety, które kolonizujemy lub podbijamy, zyskując punkty wpływów, bazę surowcową i szersze pole do postępu technologicznego.

Crusaders primary form of conquest came from playing mancala more efficiently than the other crusader clans.  That's possibly not how history went, but you might think so given our review this week of Seth Jaffee's game Crusaders: Thy Will Be Done. We also discuss Crossovers both in the comic book world and on the game table. And of course, we run through the summer movies we watched in 2019. Enjoy! Or Else!

Welcome to our Before The Con series. In this series, we thought we would discuss topics of interest to game designers headed to a game convention. We will talk about prepping for the con, pitching to publishers, what to expect during and after the pitch meeting, and things like sell sheets and prototypes. First up is Seth Jaffee. Seth is the gamegineer over at Tasty Minstrel Games. He meets with designers and evaluates their games for potential publication. He's talking to me about what a game publisher might expect from a designer, how he handles pitches, and what happens after the pitch. We hope you find it fun and informative.

Charge!!! And by charge we mean shuffle meeples across the board fighting circles of cardboard in the game that is Crusaders: Thy Will be done by Seth Jaffee and TMG. Trust us when we say, it is much more exciting than we made it sound. After a great chat about Crusaders, Mark provides us with more » The post The Dice Men Cometh – Episode 254 appeared first on The Dice Men Cometh.

Players aren't the only people who make choices, of course. Designers and publishers make decisions about the setting and the theme of their games. Insofar as games can communicate a message--whether purely aesthetic or more ideological--it is beneficial to have a clear vision. Things can get exceptionally problematic when you start playing fast and loose with things of great cultural and historical import. Incidentally, I will note that while our topic and our feature game often have no connection between them, sometimes they do. I don't know why I'm mentioning that this week.Games Played Last Week: -Hyperborea: Light and Shadow 1m37s (Andrea Chiarvesio, Maurizio Vergendo, & Pierluca Zizzi, Asterion Press, 2016)-Between Two Cities 3m15s (Matthew O'Malley, Morten Monrad Pedersen, & Ben Rosset, Stonemaier, 2015)-Factory Funner 5m03s (Corné van Moorsel, Cwali, 2016)-Photosynthesis 8m06s (Hjalmar Hach, Blue Orange, 2017)-Stephenson's Rocket: Eastern USA & China 9m13s (Reiner Knizia, Grail Games, 2018)-Petrichor 12m12s (David Chircop & Dávid Turczi, APE Games, 2018)-The Voyages of Marco Polo 12m57s (Simone Luciani & Daniele Tascini, Hans im Gluck, 2015)-Teotihuacan: City of Gods 14m59s (Daniele Tascini, NSKN Games, 2018)-Dominant Species 15m37s (Chad Jensen, GMT, 2010)-Res Publica 18m03s (Reiner Knizia, Queen, 1991)News (and why it doesn't matter)-Descent into new digital depths 22m05s-Fards of Inshinity digital 22m20s-Failed Carnival of Monsters rises again 23m02s-Die Macher won't die 24m15sFeature Game: Crusaders: Thy Will Be Done 25m10s (Seth Jaffee, Tasty Minstrel, 2018)Topic: Thematic Disconnects 48m15s

I had a great time talking with Seth Jaffee about his new game Crusaders. It's on Kickstarter now! Crusaders: Thy Will Be Done, a brand new game from designer Seth Jaffee (Eminent Domain, Terra Prime), will put players in the role as the leader of a Crusading Order. Using an innovative Mancala/Rondel mechanism, they will move their knights through Europe and the Middle East. They will battle with enemies, construct buildings, and train troops - all the while trying to be the order that has gained the most influence before the game comes to a close. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/michaelmindes/crusaders-thy-will-be-done-deluxifiedtm http://sedjtroll.blogspot.com/ https://twitter.com/sedjtroll http://www.bgdf.com/ https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgamedesigner/6291/seth-jaffee http://playtmg.com/ http://playtmg.com/podcasts/ www.birdscoffeecompany.com/ Use Code Legends10 to get 10% off your order! https://beta.podchaser.com/ Use code legendsoftabletop for access and consider leaving us a review Theme music created by Brett Miller http://www.brettmillermusic.net/

The Long View   In this installment of The Long View, I am joined by Joel Eddy as we discuss Eminent Domain.
