Um novo episódio de Meeple Vortex será publicado todo dia 10 (às vezes antes) de cada mês no feed do JBG, e será constituído de três blocos: jogatinas recentes, análise de um título escolhido e um tópico de discussão. E para este episódio, você vai conferir: No primeiro bloco nós comentamos quais foram os boardgames que estiveram em nossas jogatinas: Renato: Star Wars: Outer Rim, Explorers of the North Sea, Invasores do Mar do Norte, Shipwrights of the North Sea e Inis;Zabu: The Golden Ages e Star Wars: Rebellion;Butilheiro: Cartógrafos: Um Conto de Roll Player, Raccoon Tycoon e Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell: A Board Game of English Magic. No segundo bloco fizemos a análise de um dos recentes lançamentos da escola Italiana de Design: Teotihuacan: City of Gods Em Teotihuacan, volte no tempo milhares de anos para a maior cidade dos astecas. Testemunhe a glória e o crepúsculo da poderosa civilização pré-colombiana, acumule riquezas, ganhe favores dos deuses e se torne o construtor da magnífica Pirâmide do Sol. Desenvolvido por Daniele Tascini, com ilustrações de Odysseas Stamoglou, Teotihuacan é um jogo competitivo, onde cada jogador controla um conjunto de dados de trabalhadores, que são movimentados em torno de um tabuleiro modular para realizar diversas ações e garantir mais pontos de vitória que seus adversários. O jogo é destinado para 1-4 jogadores e com duração de 150-180 minutos, que foi produzido pela NSKN Games em 2018 e distribuído no Brasil pela Bucaneiros Jogos em 2019. E no terceiro bloco, trouxemos para a nossa mesa de discussão a questão de como definir, ou tentar definir, o que faz de um boardgame ser considerado um clássico.

Welcome to the Sister Isles… of course that’s not what they’ve always been called, but that’s the only name anyone can remember anymore. The Sister Isles are named after the beloved children of High Lord Aaron. But as you’ve never heard of the these particular islands before it’s pretty certain you don’t know who that is. Let me explain. Over 1000 years ago HIgh Lord Aaron of Hythain was sent from the capital of Bondment to the far western islands to steady violent storms that were threatening to tear apart all of Hythainia. High Lord Aaron was a weather master and held special relations with the Ventus, God of Weather. Moving to the farthest reaches of the world was not something Aaron wanted to do, but he did as His High Lord commanded. With him he took wealth, power, guards and both his wife, Naomei, and mistress, Elizia. Naomei - Priestess of Sib The Goddess of Peacekeepers, Traders, Diplomats and Shipwrights. It is said Naomei could talk someone out of their last penny if she deemed the reasoning good enough. She was a quiet woman who rarely spoke of non-important things and she was known to be level headed and fair. Elizia - follower of the God Uje was just as quiet as Naomei, but being a true follower of The Goddess of Water, Rivers, Oceans and Wells she had patience that could use to slowly change the opinions of those around her to see her point of view. It was rumored that the Naomei and Elizia were, or should of been, sisters. They had shocking similarities in not only looks, but also in movement, speech patterns and personalities. This was often attributed to the girls being raised in the same clutch. As it might happen both his wife and mistress became pregnant and gave birth at the same time. Aaron, having two daughters from the two women he loved he could not and would not pick a favorite child. As Aaron’s daughters grew, however, it was very obvious that, even though they shared their birthdate and father - they were not destined to be close to one another as their mother’s were. Little Nexie (short for Nexelita) was a patient and loving child and very much resembled, in aptitude, the followings of the God Sib. She was always the placater or easing of tensions. Nexelita was the complete image of her mother in poise and temperament. Her sister, Thayous, was very much of the house of Ventus. She was violet and as erratic as a storm. She would blow from one mood to the next, often without warning. As the girls grew Aaron set to expanding his lands so that he could make homes for his daughters. On each of the nearest two islands High Lord Aaron carved out and civilized, practically, identical areas in which he had built keeps and rather large towns. Each town was a gift to each of his daughters on their wedding days. This, of course, made the hands of their first marriage quite valuable and there were no shortage of suitors who braved the long voyage from Bondment to come and try to woo one (or both) of the High Lord’s daughters. Both daughters were wed on their 17th birthday in a large and lavish affair that took place in the ornate temple of Ventus that still stands between the two cities. As the High Lord Aaron lived out his years watching his lands grow and he welcomed many grandchildren (and even a few great grandchildren) into his family and all during that time the seas stayed relatively calm. Even after his death the area seemed to stay blessed. The storms that ripped through the other outer islands seems to miss Aaron’s lands. But as High Lord Aaron’s memories and stories faded so did the protection they provided. By the year 1450 of the Hythain Reckoning Calendar the seas were so chaotic that to be on the water was to invite death to your door. Storm after storm tore through the islands and barrelled straight onto the mainland. Then, without a known cause, 720 years ago (in the year of 1453), right before the time of the Upheaval, something changed and the islands because peaceful again overnight. The constant storms subsided. Not only that, but while the lands around them were torn apart by the Orc Wars (years 1455-1456) peace remained on these protected lands and when the Upheaval shook the world and magic died The Sister Isles were spared the major catastrophes and chaos. Yes, arcane magic was lost here, as it was in the rest of the world, but bardic magic held on just as rumours say that some areas were able to keep their druidic magics. Even some druidic magic did find its way back to the islands far earlier than the arcanic magics were renewed (some say by the gods return to this world). The stories tell that even though he is gone High Lord Aaron still protects his lands. There are some who say they’ve seen his form walking in his temple on the eastern islands, but there’s always stories of strange things coming from people who seek attention. What is not fantastical is that the lands that High Lord Aaron settled have endoured. His Temple of Ventus still stands and is a working church. His Castle is still on the eastern island nearly untouched by time. His daughters’ homes still thrive. Port Thay and Port Nex are home to many a thousands of people and the areas surrounding these ports have grown as well. So now that you know about the Sister Isles let me again welcome you to them. Now that you know some about the history of the Sister Isles let me bring you in closer to where this story takes place. On Nex Island, home of Port Nex, there are a two largish towns. The one that you might not need to be concerned about is Norwich is is north or Port Nex. It’s a lumber town that supplies Port Nex and Acomb with almost all the timber needed to build and repair the constant stream of boats and ships that come through these islands. The other larger town is, as you might of guessed, Acomb. Acomb is the southernmost town on Nex Island and once was the finest harbor in all the lands. Acomb is, geographically, the closest harbor to the Temple of Ventus and High Lord Aarons Castle and as it was the closest High Lord Aaron would stop in Acomb each time he came to visit the islands. Acomb is also the closest harbor to Bondment and a fair number of ships from there make their way to Acomb before heading off to either the north or south lands. While Acomb is a busy town, it’s permanent population is just under 8,000. Our story is set in Acomb, so we’ll be back there shortly, but first let me explain a few other towns in the area. On Nex Island there’s a few other smaller towns and a few villages. I’ll start with the smaller towns: Fulda is nestled right between Port Nex and Acomb about equidistant. It’s not officially a Kender town, it’s as close to a “hometown” as they can claim. This small town with a population less than 2000 is made up of about 60% kender which is the highest concentration you will find anywhere in the world. The town is here because it’s a half a day's journey to either Port Nex to the north or Acomb to the south. Kender’s often travel between the two destinations to find work. I would love to give you a nice mental image of a happy little town where the little folk thrive, but, sadly, I can’t. If there’s a crime committed Fulda is the first place that people turn to for retribution no matter who is to blame. If there’s a tax to be raised it’s raised on the folk of Fulda for no other reason than “they deserve it”. Fulda is not a happy place, but it’s a place of necessity where the most unloved people band together to try to protect one another. On the other side of a small wood, also between Acomb and Port Nex there is a town called Midway. It’s the polar opposite of Fulda. It’s the “good child” and no-one would believe anything unsavory could come from such a find upstanding town. Where as Kender’s aren’t outright illegal in Midway, most kenders who travel through that town would find a very uncomfortable time. Actually anyone not Human would get the same reception. Midway is very racist against anyone not human. And that’s it for the smaller southern towns. Up north you have Plaidsville which is snap dab in the middle of Port Nex and Norwhich. It’s nestled right in the bend of the river that’s used to transport the logging south and the town is full of hearty people who work hard and treat others fairly, as long as they pull their weight. This leaves only three towns or villages on Nex Island those being Shores Edge, Amberville and Cordville. Of these three the only thing to note is Cordville is an interesting place due to it’s a Dragonborn town. Most inhabitants of Nex Island don’t go to Cordville because of this fact. Cordville was settled in 1455 as a way station during what was to become known as The Orc Wars. The soldiers came from Udorim on The Shimmering Shore and set camp and have a launching station to take out any Orc ships that came past The Sister Isles. But, the Orcs never came and the Dragonborn of Cordville stayed and in the past 700 years they’ve become part of the Sister Isles just as much as the dwarves, elves and halflings have. So that will work as your tour around Nex Island. Let’s head back to Acomb where our story begins. In Acomb there’s several pubs and inns. Being a harbor town there’s a lot of people coming and going and where you have travelers you have thirsty people. One of these inns is called The Drunken Starfish. It’s a rather large place at the end of a strip of shops and it’s known as an “adventurer's” bar, even though there’s not a lot of adventures in The Sister Isles. Most of its patrons come to hear stories of adventures that the owners (of which there are several) claim to of gone on, but no on believes they have actually saved a town, talked with the right hand of a goddess, held a magical sword, or fought a sea-monster in hand to hand combat. Currently The Drunken Starfish has 6 owners. Although the owners do change from time to time there seems to always be 6. Some of the regulars have found this curious, but not curious enough to do more than ponder such an oddity. It’s just enough to know that if you are thirsty for a drink or a story The Drunken Starfish is where you want to go hang out. What? You’re thirsty for both? Then Let’s go.
For anyone who has ever wanted us to "not hold back", so to speak, and give out some objectively bad reviews of games, this is the show for you! We tell you our reasons why you might want to avoid the Witcher Adventure Game (4:55), Witches of the Revolution (14:27), and Shipwrights of the North Sea (21:05). In the discussion at the back half of the podcast, we tell you about our approach to these kinds of reviews and why you haven't heard an episode like this from us before. Hopefully, we review nothing but good games going forward! (yeah, right...)
In this episode we look at Legends & Lies, President Wars, Drake II: Horizons, Shipwrights of the North Sea, and Grand Tactics. Show notes and links: Legends and Lies (kickstarter.com).
