We reminisce about a memorable Gencon auction experience involving a 1988 unopened copy of Merchant of Venus. The auctioneer's persistence in raising the price created a memorable moment for everyone present.  (0:40:15) - Seven Steps for Mankind (14 Minutes) The Panel shares our final thoughts on the game. We discuss the enjoyable aspects of Merchant of Venus, including the indirect player interaction, the ability to plan and strategize during gameplay, and the memorable experiences it creates. Despite the lack of direct conflict, the game offers engaging challenges and diverse strategies that keep players invested. In the end, the game's lasting appeal and replayability earn it strong ratings from the panel. We appreciate the component quality and flavor text in the game Merchant of Venus, which adds depth and immersion to the game experience.

The Broken Meeple Show - Episode 52 - Can Bad Rulebooks Kill A Game? OK, I'm going to do this episode with noisy neighbours and a splitting headache :P But I think it went well! First I report on how the summer is affecting the channel and how publishers are disconnecting from me for the honest review format. I therefore make a plea to any fans to contribute to the Patreon even for just $1 a month because that's what keeps the channel going. A few new games have been announced and whether it's a odd re-do, a god awful cover, or the prospect of saving a 2 player game from dusting off on my shelf, they need to be talked about! I then take a game I never did a review on from my shelf and talk about it - this week it's the classic Diamonds from Stronghold Games. Then for a quick discussion topic - can rulebooks ever put you off a game from the get-go? Even if you like the other parts of the game, will a bad or fiddly or complex rulebook put you off your enjoyment? 00:00 - Introduction, Unfollows Affecting Me, Patreon Plea 16:00 - News 24:49 - Off The Shelf Review - DIAMONDS 34:09 - Can Bad Rulebooks Kill A Game?

Preparation is important. We very carefully do our advance research here at SVWAG, but occasionally mild errors do creep in. For this week, Mark studiously crafted notes and observations on such issues as four octave vocal ranges, Nickelodeon celebrity culture, and whether boredom of a third party constitutes necessary or sufficient conditions for breaking up with one's girlfriend.

After discussing some of her earlier games such as the Space Cadet games, Sydney talks at length about her experience working on some of the popular game series in the Stronghold Games lineup: Aeon's End and Terraforming Mars. The discussion covers what it's like making expansions for the deckbuilder Aeon's End, how the design for Ares Expedition streamlined aspects of Terraforming Mars by focusing in on the card play, and some advice on the more business–oriented side of game acquisitions.
