The Nintendo Switch 2 Preorders will finally go live, and while the console hasn't gone up in price, the accessories have. Greater Than Games, the producer of the board games Sentinels of the Multiverse and Spirit Island, is suspending operations in the face of tariff uncertainty in the US. An Atlanta-area game developer is finally entering early access with their retro-styled platform brawler, so take a look at Elemensional Rift. Then we talk to Rob about the Switch 2 prices and preorders.

Regocíjense la humanidad entera, ya que con la publicación del episodio 541 de Café Fandango se oficializa un nuevo número primo, cosa que no volverá a suceder en aproximadamente exactamente 6 semanas (aunque nadie lo sabe). Además de avanzar la ciencia matemática, en este programa lo tenés a Gus que comenta de su primera experiencia con el juego de mesa Spirit Island y a Edu que se queja de los "tank controls" del Fantasian como si estuviéramos en el 2001 y de musicales mediocres nominados a los premios Oscar. Luego tenemos varias salutaciones de cumpleaños y dos lanzamientos donde (extrañamente) ambos incluyen mecánicas de olor corporal. En las noticias tenemos al Multiversus que ese ese antro que resulta que no habían cerrado pero que ahora sí, Nintendo que jura por tu vieja que el Metroid Prime 4 sí sale este año, un nuevo juego de Ron Gilbert, la fecha de lanzamiento del Killing Floor 3 y una nueva edición del Breakout/Arcanoid. Cerramos con la Pregunta Fandango donde buscamos personajes en los que nos hayamos visto representados/as en videojuegos.
„Portal Games wydaje stare gry i robi to dobrze!”Podczas rozmowy z Rafałem z Portal Games nie poszedłem utartą ścieżką opowiadania o wszystkich zapowiedziach gier z PortalConu. O nie! Rozmawialiśmy o powrotach, o grach, które były już wcześniej dostępne. A potem wyparowały ze sklepów, z „normalnych” widełek cenowych, ale nie z serc graczy. A teraz za sprawą Portalu wracają. Rozmawialiśmy o Anachrony, o Spirit Island, o Cthulhu: Dark Providence. O tym dlaczego wróciły i o tym jakie być może czekają nas jeszcze powroty w najbliższym czasie. Posłuchaj w podcaście o grach planszowych Crash Board o miłości do starszych gier, a przede wszystkim o tym, że nawet w Portalu nie lubią mieć luk w kolekcji. :) Nasz podcast o grach planszowych Crash Board, jest inny, ponieważ opowiadamy o grach z perspektywy taty gracza i jego córki.Ja jestem Maciek i od ponad dekady gram w nowoczesne gry planszowe. Nasze zbiory to ponad trzysta gier i ta liczba nadal rośnie.Hania to moja 13-letnia córka, miłośniczka zwierząt, marzycielka, uwielbia rysować, rzeźbić oraz lepić i kolekcjonuje wszystko co się da – po tatusiu. :)Razem tworzymy zgrany zespół, który nie zawsze się zgadza, ale zawsze dobrze się bawi nad planszą.Jeśli macie uwagi co do naszego podcastu o grach planszowych Crash Board lub chcecie się czymś z nami podzielić, piszcie na: crashboardpodcast@gmail.com. Nasz profil znajdziecie na Facebooku i Instagramie wpisując w wyszukiwaniu: Crash Board.Oprócz podcastu, możecie przeczytać i posłuchac recenzje gier na naszym blogu ZnadPlanszy. -Maciek

We face complexity head-on this episode with two topics that will get your neurons firing. Mark walks through considerations involved with publishing a game to multiple platforms. It's not easy, but it's a lot easier if you plan for it from the start! If you've listened to recent episodes, you'll know that Stephen has been obsessed with the tabletop game Spirit Island. Today, he shares some of the work he's done in creating a new, customized spirit for the game.

And Mark reveals some simple insights from his life: urgent vs. high priority, he has an irritating existence, that he's very restless, that he's skeptical of his satisfaction, somethings that I know very well, being married to him. The episode ends with a pitch build an emotional support group on nicegames.club/discord, by asking everyone to share how they structure their time.Stephen and Spirit IslandSpirit Island - Board Game GeekEllen gets into musicMark's SmartCarThomas Jefferson was born in Virgina - WikipediaMark changes out his car panels - Mark LaCroix, ThreadsPlease support us financially and emotionally through the following:patreon.com/nicegamesclubnicegames.club/discord0:11:20PivotingTango Gameworks of Hi-Fi Rush was closed0:40:27Working on Multiple ProjectsThe Eisenhower Matrix task managment matrixAsanaThe days in the lives of creative work from Mason Curryin a circle chartdeMilkedin an infographic Open Culturein an articleThe Marginalian
Pesky colonisers have arrived on our sacred island - I hate it when that happens! Luckily, we're all-powerful spirits with a range of abilities to get rid of these interlopers, but can we do it before they wreck the island forever with their filthy filthy blight? Highlights include: - Ecosystem: Go big or go extinct... - As usual, we ignore all playing advice... - Unhelpful rulebook alert! - Why does this game even exist? - Fear is good. Fear is what we want... - It has The Arkham Effect... - All the Benders have played this one! - Lucas Durham looks like AI...
In the episode, Mark, Ellen, and Stephen talk local events, including (don't worry everyone's fine) a fire in the clubhouse's building, construction, and the games they are playing, so if you are just here for the topics, go ahead and skip to minute 23. Ellen learns about King Making, Stephen humble brags about being good at Smash Brothers, and Dale plays kingmaker in naming the second topic!NewsMasu Fire - Paul Walsh, Star TribuneBus Rapid Transit (BRT) - Jared Brey, GoverningWhat We are PlayingDragon's Dogma 2 - WikipediaPrincess Peach Showtime NPR Review - Rakiesha Chase-Jackson, NPR0:23:00King MakingStephen has been QA testing Harvest KingdomBen HunderDiscordThe YouTube video that Stephen referencesDistraction MakersYouTubeKingmaking in Root (Leder Games) videoCole WehrleGDCSmallworldBoard Game Geek0:49:17Thinky Bits (Off-Screen Gameplay)Games discussedReturn of the Obra DinSpirit IslandBoard Game GeekDeath Drives a Busitch.io

In this episode, we delve into the contrasting perspectives of social media usage among older and younger generations of photographers. We explore both the importance and unimportance of social media platforms for your photography goals and how to align your amount of social media usage with your ideal career outcomes. We argue that there may not be any point in putting undue importance on social media if it doesn't serve what you're trying to accomplish with your photography career, sparking a crucial conversation about the relevance of social media in the context of individual career objectives.Thanks to WhiteWall for being our lead sponsor this episode!

Early this year, we set out on a goal, (well a few goals really, but one of them was:) to learn GreaterThanGames' Spirit Island and hopefully help you learn it as well. We tackled the 8 spirits provided in the base game and have learned a lot along the way. It was the first time for this show to try and tackle a cooperative game, so today we're going to kind of rate and reflect on how we did and what it means to cover a game like this! Also there's a very extended edition of the Homebrew Review where we discuss many iterations of Yin's Impulse Core tech.

It's our last venture into the base game Spirits for Spirit Island! And we didn't do it on purpose, but we're each going out of spirits that didn't click with us quite as much, but that didn't stop them from being engaging to learn!

Well, this somehow became the climate change episode, which now seems inevitable. We review After Us, a post-apocalyptic deck builder with monkeys!

Spirit Island advertises itself as an 'anti-colonial' game. What does that mean? Where is it successful at its goal, and where does it fall short?

It's our first strategic foray into Spirit Island, but we're still rookies over here. But we've got a good grasp on how the game is played now and we'd like to relay our experience of learning the game to you. Hopefully we can provide some tips to getting started but mostly we want you to not be intimidated by the many many words that Spirit Island is going to throw at you. But stick around if Spirit Island isn't for you, because we have a prolonged TI topic about being kind to each other and a small handful of Tournament Recaps! 0:00 - Learn to Learn Spirit Island 1:13:08 - The Agenda Phase: Visioness - I want to hear about strategies to mend relationships when things get heated in a game. 1:35:18 - Tournament Recap: Qualifiers 7, 8, 10, 11, & 12.
