So, we are going to line up a bunch of games and choose some to discuss.

Here's a breakdown of its key characteristics and how it differs from other drafting types: Key Characteristics of Open Drafting: Shared Pool: There's a central display or common area where all the items available for selection are laid out. Visibility: All players can see all the available options in the pool at all times. This is the defining feature of "open" drafting. Turn-Based Selection: Players take turns choosing and taking one or more items from this shared pool. Once an item is taken, it's removed from the pool (or sometimes replaced immediately, depending on the game). Strategic Interaction: Because everyone can see what's available and what others are taking, open drafting encourages a high level of player interaction and strategic depth. Players aren't just thinking about what they need for their own strategy, but also: "Hate Drafting": Taking an item that might not be optimal for you, but is crucial for an opponent's strategy, thereby "denying" them that piece. This can be a friendly jab or a crucial tactical move. Anticipation: Trying to predict what other players will take on their turns based on their visible boards or strategies. Adapting: Adjusting your own plans if a key item you wanted is taken by an opponent. How it Differs from Other Drafting Types: The main contrast to open drafting is closed drafting (often called "pick-and-pass" or "hand drafting"): Closed Drafting: Players typically receive a hand of cards (or a set of items) and select one (or more) to keep, then pass the rest of their hand to the next player. The key difference is that the pool of options available to the next player is unknown until they receive the new hand. Players don't see the full communal pool; they only see their current hand. Examples of Closed Drafting: 7 Wonders (the original), Sushi Go!, Blood Rage. Why Designers Use Open Drafting: Increased Player Interaction: Players are constantly engaged with the overall game state, not just their own limited hand. Tactical Depth: Decisions often involve weighing immediate personal gain against denying opponents. Transparency: All information about available items is public, allowing for more calculated and less luck-driven decisions regarding the draft itself. Emergent Strategy: The way the pool changes based on player choices creates dynamic and evolving strategic opportunities.   Open Drafting Games Alchemist Land vs Sea Azul Azul Duel Azul: Stained Glass of Sintra Azul: Summer Pavilion Azul: The Queen's Garden Storm Raiders Res Arcana Firefly: The Game Project L: Collector's Edition Altiplano P.I.

Is there a board game theme we can all agree on? We're discussing games with largely inoffensive epicurean themes. Kenan takes us on a pleasant stroll through the rapidly changing landscape of board game subject matter while Alba cooks up a spicy quiz show. Kenan reports back on the many strange sights and inhabitants of Dice Tower West in Las Vegas. Then it's time to chomp on some appetizing food-based games. Discussed: Wingspan, Dro Polter, Downfall of Pompeii, SETI, Ostia, Trajan, Bohnanza, Babylonia, The Quest for El Dorado, Cacao, Sushi Go!, Viticulture, Fromage, Tzolk'in, Hungry Hungry Hippos, Coffee Rush, Nusfjord, Clank!, Everdell, On Mars, Vinhos, Evolution/Oceans, interface design, themes that lighten the load, themes that catfish you, games that are invitations, and how to talk to your Zoomer intern. Bon Appétit. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Did someone say Phil Walker-Harding? Praise be! The prolific designer (Sushi Go!, Barenpark, Imhotep, Gizmos, Adventure Games, and so many more!) joins Christina and Shoe to talk about how his film background has surprisingly influenced his design process. Plus, Phil's been noticing the "playfulness" inherent in some games recently. Why is he excited about this, and what does it mean for his own designs? Watch or listen to find out! Timeline: 3:01 - Going Analog's game pick: Rivages. 5:32 - Phil's game pick: Acquire. 9:27 - Going Analog's topic: How Phil's film background influences his game design. 25:56 - Phil's topic: Playfulness in game design.

Travis Deere joins us to talk about his latest project Coral Castle! Build a magical mermaid garden under the sea in this card drafting game. Each round you will draft cards, craft combos, and race other players up the wealth, beauty, and rarity tracks. You'll be able to keep cards each round for bigger, better combos. After 3 rounds, see see who is furthest on each track and gain fame. The most famous mergarden wins! There's also a "pearl economy" you must manage throughout the game. You'll need to collect enough pearls to pull off your big combos! Easier to learn than 7 Wonders and more depth than Sushi Go, Coral Castle is great for hardcore gamers, casual gamers, gamer families, and anyone that wants more mermaids in their life!

Send us a textWelcome to the second episode of Board with Each Other Bite Size! In this spin off series, we have a quick chat about smaller (but no less mighty) games or expansions that we feel deserve a review, but don't really justify one of our monthly deep dives. We don't go through our full scoring criteria, but instead chat about the game and give a neat overall score at the end. In this episode, we chat about the modern classic party game, Sushi Go and discuss if it can work as a two player experience!We hope you like this new format, which will be on top of our regular monthly deep dive reviews. If you're joining us here for the first time, then we do go much more in depth on a game each and every month - so hope you can join us there. Find us on Social Media FacebookTwitterInstagram

Happy Thanksgiving Week BATT Family! We hope that you'll be able to find a bit of relaxation this weekend (at least until Rivalry Week kicks off on Saturday). In the spirit of trying to bring people to the table and give you an alternate to playing Rummikub for the nine billionth time, we're giving you a variety of recommendations for games to bring home for the holidays that will get anybody to play!   One final note, we didn't present this list as any kind of ranked list, instead we talked about them in order of release date.  --- This episode's segments: 00:00:00 - Intro  00:01:43 - Game 1 00:03:07 - Game 2 00:04:36 - Game 3 00:06:33 - Game 4 00:08:29 - Game 5 00:10:06 - Outro --- Five more games to take home for the holidays: 1) Sushi Go! - Gamewright Originally released in 2013 from designer Phil Walker-Harding and plays 2-5. A light drafting game with great art and a clean set of scoring varieties within the cards themselves. Essentially it's a set collection game where you're trying to score as many points as possible across three rounds based on the cards you've drafted. There was a larger version with more modularity, Sushi Go! Party that supports 2-8 players if you want to play with more people. The components for regular Sushi Go! are included should you want to play that way as well. There were some other implementations as well (Sushi Roll, Sushi Go!: Spin Some for Dim Sum) but I think that SG/SGP are the best ones out there. There is also a brand new 10th Anniversary edition available in very limited quantities, but I have seen it at Barnes and Noble so you might still be able to track that one down. 2) Antidote - Bellwether Games Also released in 2013 from designer Dennis Hoyle, it supports 3-7 players. Antidote plays in the same way that Clue does - you're trying to find the solution before everybody is down to one card in hand. Antidote is a deduction game where on your turn you'll either have everybody pass one card to the left or right, make a direct trade with another player, or have everybody play a card from their hand to the table. There are other modules and variants with the box and the Lab Alliance expansion that honestly we never play with because the base game is strong enough on it's own. Lab Alliance is worth pick up just to expand the player count up to 9 but that's the only reason to own it I think. This game is also one that you can play as co-operatively or selfishly as you want. There technically is scoring but we never use the points and just play to see if we can survive. This has been a favourite for a very long time. 3) Deception: Murder in Hong Kong - Grey Fox Games Released in 2014 from designer Tobey Ho, Deception plays 4-12 players and is a team based deduction game. A murder has been committed by one of the players around the table and only the murderer and the Forensic Expert know who did it. The Forensic player has to communicate what they know silently and only using 6 prompts that are randomly drawn. Each player will have an array of cards in front of them and the murderer needs to lead the other players astray as the Forensic player tries and gets the others to identify the correct items/player. Each non-Forensic player has exactly one guess before the end of the game to guess a pair of cards to identify the murderer. If you like social deduction and want to lean into that theme, then Deception is an excellent choice. There are a variety of small promo packs that you honestly don't need (a lot more gaming related nonsense). The Undercover Allies expansion is good but honestly unneeded. 4) Just One - Repos Productions Just one was released in 2018 and was a reimplementation of a 2017 game that  Ludovic Roudy designed. Just one added Bruno Sautter to that design team and supports 3-7 players though honestly you can play more than 7 without much issue. Just One is a game that feels like such an obvious game that somehow took til the last ten years to be released. One player (the judge essentially) will blindly pick a numbered word off a card they can't see. The rest of the players will then try and come up with a single word that will allow the Judge to guess the word they picked. The trick is that if any player reveals they wrote the same clue then both (or all in some cases) have to erase their clue and the Judge has to guess with what's left over. There's a scoring system in this one too that we frankly never use beyond trying to get more words correct than not. This one also works incredibly well for remote play. The biggest baffling thing with Just One is that there isn't any kind of expansion deck available for it in English. A couple of very small promo packs exist, but that's about it. Still, it's arguably my all time favourite party game. 5) The Crew: Mission Deep Sea - Kosmos Released in 2022 from Thomas Sing, Mission Deep Sea is the reimplementation of the 2020 game Search for Planet IX. The Crew plays 2-5 players and I really do pick the specific version of Mission Deep Sea. It's more interesting the way the tricks are determined, uses far less fiddly mechanisms by dropping the tokens, and has just as little theme as the original. The Crew is a co-operative trick taking game and that alone will stun most trick taking players in families. Because the mission book is as simple to use as it is, it's easy to define the path of how to play each night. Or you can simply peel off a few random mission cards and just play it that way. Easy to understand, easy to teach, and a great way to introduce new people to trick taking just as much as it's easy to get lost in for experience trick takers.  --- You can email us at boardallthetimegaming@gmail.com.

In episode 100 of Game Design Unboxed: Inspiration to Publication we celebrate the 100th episode with Phil Walker-Harding talking about 10 years of Sushi Go! From his initial self-imposed design challenge of making a simple set collection game to the concept of “panning for gold” when trying to create a simplistic game. We discuss what we as designers can do to make games more accessible. Also, learning and accepting what kind of designer you are is a great thing. To be a “good designer” doesn't mean being able to design a 90 minute Euro game. You can create a silly small game and be equally as talented.   Featuring: Phil Walker-Harding - Guest Danielle Reynolds - Host

In all my obsessing over books the last year or two, I've gotten away from board gaming a bit. I'm still playing, mind you, and occasionally I'm still purchasing. But the closet's pretty full already. True, the same could be said of my bookshelves, but board games are a lot bigger and more expensive than books. Today I'm going to use this space to finally get around to keeping a promise I made more than a year ago — my suggestions for starting a board collection from scratch.1. The Mind2. Love Letter3.

Bill and Hollis discuss "drafting" as a mechanism and break down some recent plays of Sushi Go, Kingdomino, and Draftosaurus.

Statistika näitab, et 60% mänguaega aastal 2023 kulus inimestel mängudele, mis on vanemad kui kuus aastat. Miks see nii on? Uudistes räägime aprillinaljadest, aga ainult nendest, millel päriselt ka sisu taga oli. Nintendo WiiU ja 3DSi poed võrgud lähevad kinni ja Eesti mäng Buckshot Roulette, mis on päris viraalseks saanud, tuli välja. Martin on mänginud Dave the Diverit, Rainer Petter Grinderit ja räägib veel Steam Decki muljetest. Rein on edasi mänginud Hollow Knighti ja räägib lauamängust Sushi Go! Soovituseks on The Outer Wilds, mis on Epicus tasuta.

After our Top 10 Games last week, it's time to reveal some of our disappointments of the year...and also suggest OTHER games by many of the designers that you should play instead. The Fox Experiment (play Wingspan) Mosaic Glades (play Keythedral) Spellbook (play Sushi Go...or get a pack of cards and play Rummy!) Atiwa (play Agricola) Railway Book (play Yokohama) Trekking Through History (play Trekking the National Parks) Stack n Stuff Orichalcum Rauha Bonsai And our best gaming experience (to end on a positive note) involved playing flowerpower out on our deck.

Chris and Wendy Yi take a look at a pile of games from one of their favorite designers, Phil Walker-Harding.

In Episode 88 we discuss our top 3 controversial mechanisms in board games. These are mechanisms that seem to be well loved, sometimes even by our co-hosts, or heavily used but we don't like them at all. We share some specific games that use those mechanisms and talk about why they don't (or sometimes do) work for us.

In bygone days you had a closet full of board games, or you kept them on a shelf in the basement, and every now and again you'd gather folks around the table to play.  And aside that one story we had about the broke dude in Atlantic City inventing the game Monopoly, until the last decade or two, there was no attention paid to the idea that somebody created those games, that experience, or the gaming environment, which is the term oft-used in our discussion today.  Our guest is Jason Schneider.  He is one of the creatives who has helped bring board games back to the fore.  We have a great discussion about the phenomenon of gaming, the types of games, the different elements of a game and how, despite the growing presence of video games, table-top games remain  the real deal. This is especially true for people wanting actual human connection, like that which is experienced playing a rambunctious party game, a strategic thinker with your nerdy friends, or a cooperative game on family game night. As the VP of Product Development at Gamewright, a game company with over 200 titles that focuses on family friendly games, Jason knows the business, and he provides a tremendous peak inside the process of creating games; from the initial idea to development to testing to marketing and finally to that game being on your dining room table. Maybe that game being played tonight in your home is one of Gamewright's super creative games, like Slamwich, Sushi Go, Super Mega Lucky Box, Gubs, Forbidden Planet , Abandon All Artichokes  or any other game  in Gamewright's massive, highly acclaimed catalogue. So it's your move, press play and enjoy your journey through the Kites and Strings environment with Jason Schneider.

Phil Walker-Harding, designer of Sushi Go, Barenpark, Imhotep, Gizmos, and several other great games, takes us behind the scenes of his personal design process. We talk about coming up with ideas, honing big ideas into super fun games, knowing when to walk away from a design, pitching to publishers, and more. The post The Design Process of Phil Walker-Harding appeared first on Board Game Design Lab.
