That game was First Contact 2035 run by Very Large Huge Games. Basically, aliens arrive, but earth? Well, we got other problems.So what is a mega game? Well, it is a game, but it is not quite a LARP, and it is not quite a model UN, there are 200+ players, there are aliens, and dice, but also at some point you can frame your friends for having weapons of mass destruction... We natter about our experiences on the day, the odd stuff that occured while we attempted to maintain control and generally break down why we had such a great time.

Opener: Please join my Discord server https://discord.io/BoardgamesToGo ! There you can find other BGTG listeners, introduce yourself, share some current gaming thoughts, find online opponents, and maybe even meet someone who lives within driving distance of you in the real world. I almost can't believe I've made it to episode 200! Even though my boardgame podcast has been around a long time (the longest!), contemporaries like The Dice Tower and Garrett's Games and Geekiness are closer to a thousand episodes. "Newcomes" like Shut Up & Sit Down will be passing me very quickly in terms of episodes...they all passed me in terms of audience long ago. But that's ok--I remind myself that I do this podcast largely to make a contribution to the hobby and get my voice out there. That a loyal handful of you listen & enjoy it is icing on the cake. I should've asked my wife to take a photo of Dave Arnott and I recording this episode. There's a photo of us recording one long ago, perhaps the earlier retrospective we did about the hobby. That was episode 75, back in 2007, now 15 years ago! At that time we were reflecting on how things were different, mostly better, than when we both entered the hobby after Settlers and Siggins. We were looking back on a decade or so, feeling that we were "old men" in the hobby. Now we can look back on a quarter-century of boardgaming, and we're REALLY the old men now. A lot has already been written about how the hobby is different now than it was in the past. Everything from Kickstarter to under-represented folks to co-op games to social media to "mainstreaming" our games with distribution in Target or Barnes & Noble. Dave & I touch on some of that, but we don't try to analyze the industry or the hobby so much as our changing experience. To some degree, I think all of us go through an "arc" in this hobby: discovery, enthusiasm, purchasing, missing old favorites, downsizing, and a "settling in" for years of enjoyment with old friends. Is that right? What do you suppose is next for me? Whatever you think about that, thank you for helping me get to 200 episodes, no matter how long it took. I still think about games all the time, play them almost as much as ever, am interested in new trends as well as old favorites...and feel compelled to share my opinions. It's how I came up in this hobby--hearing others' opinions. Boardgames are inherently social and communal. Perhaps it only makes sense that talking about them is a related activity. -Mark

Happy New Year! We mean it this time...no, really...please? This month we're taking a look back at the good times in 2021 - yes, there were some - as we discuss our favorite games from the past year. We also have some additional material on the games we DIDN'T discuss, as well as a look ahead to 2022, but Your Humble Editor is tired enough that that's going to be released as a special bonus episode in a week or so in order to keep THIS episode from being any later than it already is. Included in this episode: "Hey, guys...that's not how frogs work." (Well, Mike, the frogs aren't the only thing that's a mile high...) Possibly the weirdest game we've discussed all year, and Frank didn't even pick it!  Joe confuses an episode of this podcast - which he was in - with Shut Up & Sit Down. (If only their subscribers and sponsors would do the same!) Mike's insane Initiative journal (WARNING - spoilers, and an F-bomb, within!) Did you just say "Slurp Gerblers"? (Yes, and we wish they hadn't.) What top game is described as having "Frenchiness"? (It's totally a word, shut up.) We TOTALLY all remembered the excellent Dune Imperium.  Plus a few links to things that are mentioned in this episode, but exist outside it: A link to watch Mike play the Arkham Horror LCG every Sunday, and other games on other days.  The iOS Aeon's End turn order app Jayson recommends A place where you can give us an iTunes review (hint, hint!) As usual, we'd love to have you visit our website and let us know what kinds of games we should discuss next. You're also more than welcome to comment on the episode page, or our Facebook page, or tag @ascentofgames on Twitter - however you prefer to share your opinions with us. As always, we appreciate your listening and would love to hear your comments.

#348: “You don't know my marriage, so how can you say my marriage can be fixed?” More often than not a marriage can be fixed, especially if both couples are willing to put in the work to make it work, but also even if only one starts the process. To that extent, there is a very simply formula to follow once you commit to save the marriage. We discuss the gist of how to do just that.

Well, we came in last this month, but this episode has finally arrived - time to discuss racing games! (Although, as we mention at the end, almost all games can be defined as racing games in one way or another.) Sadly, we are still limited by lockdown audio quality, but hopefully you still find it listenable. Thanks for bearing with us!   In this episode: The world's oldest recorded trash talk. ("Observe my three!") If you want a groovy new copy of ancient board game, these guys can help. A pair of great videos about the Royal Game of Ur and how its rules were reconstructed. This whole Shut Up & Sit Down video is great, but I've skipped to the part about the Game of Goose. The cutest little dashboards from Formula-1. And, of course, some Top ASS Dollars!

Responding to your spouse’s inquiries with an emotionally fueled answer will only further aggravate the situation. Proverbs Chapter 15 verse 1 says, "A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.” So, when the conversation with your spouse begins to elevate, you need to change course quickly or you will run the risk of slamming into the wall.

Esattamente a ridosso dell'inaugurazion di Spiel 2018 (in programma a Essen, Germania, dal 25 ottobre al 28 ottobre), ecco una nuova puntata dedicata alle anteprime e ai pro-tip per affrontare la fiera di giochi da tavolo più grande del mondo.Ma andiamo con ordine...Michele è tornato da Vancouver con un pesante jet-lag ma entusiasta per l'esperienza di #Shux18, la convention del podcast Shut Up & Sit Down. Tanti giochi ma non solo: una grande community entusiasta e molti panel interessanti. Una realtà fuori portata per molti europei ma che vale la pena di approfondire.Abbiamo selezionato ancora un paio di giochi dall'immensa lista delle uscite programmate per Essen Spiel. In particolare Paolo ha parlato di:- Airship City - https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/256442/airship-city- Endeavour - Le rotte dell'impero - https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/233398/endeavor-age-sail versione retail del kickstarter di successo, remake di un gioco di quasi 10 anni or sono.Infine Federico, veterano delle missioni a Essen, cerca di dare ai nostri ascoltatori qualche pro-tip per sopravvivere alla fiera: dove dormire, come e cosa mangiare, dove trovare bancomat funzionanti, etc.Sostienici su Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ildadoincantato
