December had two Galactic Council polls, the latter of which was for us to feature ANOTHER non-Twilight Imperium board game. They chose the space negotiation game Sidereal Confluence. It's a wild, non-violent game about slinging cubes and makin' deals as fast as you can before there's no deals left to make. But the bigger question is how would SCPT cover a game with so much math and interpersonal conflict? We're good at neither! Music provided by Ben Prunty.

Welcome to episode 8 of The Longest Turn Board Gaming Podcast! In this episode Kevin, Tyson, and Tyler start off the episode discussing what we've been playing lately. We then discuss what our top 5 games to play are when six people show up for game night, followed up by our outtakes, as usual.

It's almost holiday time, but we have a Galactic Council episode to attend to first! This month, the Sidereal Confluence coalition was betrayed and we instead saw Round One Negotiations rise to the top, which is a perfect opportunity to return to the basics of how to get all the things you want round one, and determining what those wants even are! If only the galactic council was better at negotiating their way into functioning coalitions... Music provided by Ben Prunty.

Hi! It's us again! (Well, "us" minus Mike but plus Sandi.) This month we're talking about tech trees and skill trees, two similar sets of mechanics that Frank has been a little obsessed with lately. There are lots of 4X games and lots of dungeon-crawling campaign games, plus a few others we snuck in here and there. Plus more opinions, sass, and stories about Sandi's crossbow! We've added a bunch of new options to our Upcoming Episodes poll at our website, so please swing by and place your votes! Of, of course, you could comment on the episode page, or our Facebook page, or tag @ascentofgames on Twitter - whatever your little social media heart desires. And if it desires to leave us a review on iTunes, our little social media hearts would be very grateful indeed! By the way, this is the Sidereal Confluence card Joe is describing at around 25:05, and this is the original (and obviously much clearer) version. As always, we appreciate your listening and would love to hear your comments!

Hello Gamers, and welcome to episode 47!! In tonight's episode we talk all about some great games we managed to get to the table, such as:   Fort Sidereal Confluence Euphoria: Build a Better Dystopia Skull King   And more!   We play another NSFW version of F*#@, Marry, Kill and end the show with our top 5 things we do while playing games.   Hope you enjoy!!   Please consider following the gamecasters and madboardgamer on instagram!   @gamecasters @madboardgamer   -The Gamecasters

Today on the Space-Biff! Space-Cast!, Dan Thurot is joined by TauCeti Deichmann to discuss his confusingly titled real-time asymmetrical science fiction trade game, Faraway Convergence! I mean Constellation Meeting! I mean Sidereal Confluence! There it is. Listen in as we discuss the game's origins, its intricate negotiations, and how rational actors would easily arrange better trade deals than humans.

Geoff ruminates on the limitations of using AI to balance games. Why can't we use machine learning to fully balance a game experience, and finally make a game that everyone on BGG will find perfectly fair on the first play? SHOW NOTES 1m17s: For more on this subject, check out our two GameTek episodes on AlphaGo : GameTek Classic 218.5 Alpha Zero, and GameTek Classic 222.5 Alpha Zero, Part 2. 2m00s: Geoff's game The Expanse. 5m29s: The fantastic trading game Sidereal Confluence (which will soon have a new edition!) 6m18s: League of Legends has grappled for a long time with how to balance their champions for players of all skill levels. Here's their latest approach on how they're trying to do it.

Intro Banter - This is the (mostly) unscripted intro to the show! We catch up, play games, talk about games that perhaps did not make the main show, and just gab, Welcome!    How much Space you gonna need?: How big is it on the table? How much space does a game actually need to be played. This Episode Underwater Cities and  Funkoverse!   To the Limit - The guys push a game to the actual limit based on what the rules actually allow. This could be min maxing a particular strategy, to exploiting a particular rule, to playing games at their full player count. They recall their experience and discuss the results again all within the confines of the rules.   This time we talk about which games should or should not be played at their full player count: Shouldn’t be: Wingspan, Root , Rising Sun, Terraforming Mars  Should be: Sidereal Confluence, Between Two Cities, Captain Sonar, Kemet , Dice Throne, Kings of Air and Steam, Settlers of Catan (with Expansions; 5-6 Player: Cities & Knights, Seafarers)   On the table - We will examine what the game is like when played, we need to personify that experience, this should be impersonal experience wise, but cover angles and what to expect from the title, cover components, setting, rules and the overall atmosphere.

The saturation point is the point at which you can no longer dissolve a deck of cards into a bottle of water. I am told that in summer, it feels hotter than it is really is because of all the board game particles diffused throughout the air. It gets really hard to breathe sometimes--my cousin nearly choked on a cube, once. The dewpoint, I think, is the temperature at which a full copy of Catan will coalesce out of nowhere.

The Card Crafting System returns once more, its heaps of mylar inserting into our gaming life. I would say it darkens our door, but the things are mostly transparent, so the idiom doesn't quite fit. One wonders whether and how one could sleeve a Card Crafting game, given that the games largely consist of sleeves already--but once one has witnessed the recursive horror that is sleeve sleeves, you cannot doubt the persistence and ingenuity of the Cult of Sleeves. They will, like life, find a way--perhaps sleeving each insert before inserting them into an ur-sleeve that will smother us all.

Not you people. Not you, the listeners. But when you put 9 people in a house for a week things can get lively. I wonder why they've never made a TV show about this. So here's what we recall of our annual trip to Colorado, at least the games portion of it. Lots of games CHAPTERS: 00:03:46 -- A Festivus of Thank Yous 00:17:25 -- Safe Travels 00:24:56 -- Condottiere (session strategies) 00:34:47 -- Carolvs Magnvs (first take) 00:43:20 -- El Grande (in-depth) 01:03:23 -- Roll For the Galaxay: Rivalry (first take) 01:16:07 -- Macallan Edition 3 01:24:20 -- The Dream Syndicate, These Times 01:31:54 -- Sidereal Confluence (in-depth) 02:02:36 -- Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland, Patrick Radden Keefe

Episode 65 begins with the exploration of a hypothetical that Greg asks Stephanie as well as some time spent discussing the recent local gaming convention, Arizona Game Fair. We also discuss Sidereal Confluence (9:04), Go Nuts for Donuts (13:37), Tales & Games: Aladdin & the Magic Lamp (17:36), and a current kickstarter, Nerd Words: Science (24:11). We review and discuss the latest Stephen King adaptation in theaters now, Pet Sematary (34:36) and end with another book segment (43:13). Enjoy!

Board game dealbreakers, we all have them, and they're enough to dissuade us from buying or even playing some otherwise great games. This week, we go around the table and talk about two things each that put us off in board games. Before we start looking elsewhere, we talk about Illusion, and Food Chain Magnate. 02:16 - Illusion 04:46 - Food Chain Magnate 18:05 - Too Many Steps for Simple Tasks 18:35 - 1st & Goal 19:42 - Blood Bowl 21:04 - Baseball Highlights: 2045 21:36 - Automobiles 23:04 - Too Many Variants 23:35 - Agricola 26:26 - Mezo 27:33 - Battlestar Galactica 31:20 - Production Hampering Immersion 32:17 - Rising Sun 33:03 - The Great Zimbabwe 33:52 - Leonardo da Vinci 36:13 - Zombicide 37:20 - Sidereal Confluence 38:16 - Punishing the Leader 38:27 - Power Grid 39:35 - Gravwell 41:14 - Flamme Rouge 41:35 - Suburbia 43:03 - Point Salads 44:18 - Agricola 44:45 - Village 48:10 - Blue Lagoon 52:50 - Roleplaying and Improv 53:27 - Fog of Love 53:58 - Thornwatch 56:22 - Tales of the Arabian Nights

Asymmetry is a powerful tool for game design, if done right. There's a lot of replayability right out of the box, and finding a playstyle that works for you can be very satisfying. But this dark alchemy has a darker byproduct: imbalance. When so much is different between each player, how do you ensure that things stay fair? Before we nerf plz, we discuss Container, and more Root. 01:40 - Container 12:28 - Root 18:08 - Scoreboard Update 20:04 - Balancing Asymmetry 26:49 - Vast: The Crystal Caverns 27:26 - Cosmic Encounter 30:05 - Scythe 30:55 - Terra Mystica 33:20 - Cry Havoc 40:08 - Cthulhu Wars 44:14 - The Voyages of Marco Polo 45:27 - Rising Sun 47:55 - Sidereal Confluence 49:57 - Diplomacy

Josh decided to go on "vacation" this week attending the annual comic book convention in San Diego, but that isn't going to stop the Board Boys from dropping a new bonus episode! Board Boys Cam and Frank finally got to play Campbell's current favorite game, Sidereal Confluence, with help from three of their dearest friends. Together the group dissected the good, the bad and the different in this trading game set in the Elysian quadrant. Did Frank love this game as much as Campbell? Listen now to find out!

Mark and Walker engage the ALL CAPS in a very HARDCORE WAY. Or something. All in all, they're very civil, even while disagreeing about Sidereal Confluence and being mystified by people's strong reactions to HATE. Rage gets all the love, but HATE gets all the confusion. Games Played Last Week:-Sakura Arms (BakaFire, AEG, 2017)-Assault on Doomrock (Tom Stasiak, Beautiful Disaster Games, 2014)-Charterstone (Jamey Stegmaier, Stonemaier Games, 2017)-Blood Rage (Eric Lang, CMON Games, 2015)-Star Wars: Imperial Assault (Justin Kemppainen, Corey Konieczka, & Jonathan Ying, FFG, 2014)

Matt and Quinns gather beneath a Christmas tree before cutting it down for Victory Points. Picking the pine needles out of their mouths, they discuss Photosynthesis, Sidereal Confluence and Shadespire.
