Podcast appearances and mentions of tim fowers

Tim is a unique guy living a unique life doing unique things - bagpipery and otherwise!  I feel really bad I had to rush this interview.  A rare thing I usually try to plan to not do, but there were some technical difficulties on the day of recording that not only restricted our conversation time, they also forced me to use a different platform and hardware than I usually do, and it was all rather a hasty last-minute plan-B arrangement.  Therefore: I do apologize for the somewhat, "roomy," audio on my half of the conversation.  But there's no reason to be paying attention to that half of the conversation anyway, Tim's got a lot of cool and interesting ideas, experiences, etc and we just got a taste in this interview - here's to another interview with Tim in the near future!  In the meantime, enjoy! Tune into this episode to hear how Tim has managed to become possibly the loudest, "double-agent," ever to attend a protest...

00:00 - How you might know if you’re Unbreakable. 04:38 - Burgle Bros 2: The Casino Capers from Tim Fowers, is the sequel to a board game we first talked about on Episode 1 way back in 2016. Playing as a team of criminals on a caper, sneaking about and trying not to cause a commotion, this impressive follow up to the first game has been well worth the wait. 15:42 - Games you'll put in a bag (working title). 18:36 - The puzzle-like, reverse labyrinth board game Bandido from Helvetiq and Coiledspring Games has a small footprint, but what it lacks in size it more than makes up for in quality. 23:05 - The understudy for bread. 29:47 - What the f*** is OUTRIDERS, eh? We find out more about Square Enix’s always online combination of Gears of War and Borderlands, how it relates to Cowboy Bebop, and if it’s really a cover-based shooter if it doesn’t want you to stay in cover? 42:59 - Solo tabletop roleplaying in Chaosium’s Call of Cthulhu, with Alone Against the Dark, a 7+ hour long openworld-ish gamebook of cosmic horror, deadly encounters, and timekeeping. All that, and chocolate bar conspiracies, with Kris (@DigitalStrider), Peter (@XeroXeroXero), Sam (@MrSamTurner), and Mark (@lithiumproject). A big thank you to Mark Robinson for joining us.

This week we’re looking at the best of the best board game artists, featuring 10 who have created sensational work for some of our favorite games.  But first, we discuss our question of the week: What game has surprised you the most so far in 2020, and what's your favorite mid-week through the year? In acquisition disorders this week Anthony looks at Civilization: A New Dawn - Terra Incognita and Chris looks at Photosynthesis: Under the Moonlight - two expansions for 2017 releases that no one saw coming.  At the table this week, Anthony reviews Sonora - a flick and write game from Pandasaurus Games, and Chris looks at Paperback: Unabridged, a clever expansion for Paperback from Tim Fowers.  Finally, in the feature, Anthony and Chris dig into the top 10 artists working in board games and the games that made their work famous.

On this week's episode of the Board Game BBQ Steve, Adrian and Dan sink their teeth into Card Games. But these are not your parents' card games. You won't find Canasta or 500 here. How about writing a Love Letter to the Princess? Fancy yourself some Exploding Kittens? And who doesn't love a Sushi Go Party? We also pay lip service to Hanabi and The Mind for more card gaming goodness. The Virtual Gaming Con is this week (June 24th-29th) and the Board Game BBQ is hosting live games across the Con. The team will be online for most of the con during Australian hours so you will be able to find a game or three to jump in on without having to wait until the US or Europe comes online. Search for "Board Game BBQ" and you'll find us all in the game schedule. Our Sizzling Games this week are Fugitive, Pandemic Legacy: Season 1, and Orleans: and you couldn't get three more different games in a single segment if you tried. Our followers on FaceBook and Instagram have decided another winner in the Board Game Bracket, and this week's match-up is another great battle: Five Tribes vs Mansion of Madness. Adrian and Dan plead their cases for the better game before we throw it over to our listeners to choose. Swear An Oath this week takes a turn as not one, but two of our hosts fail to fulfill their Oaths. Dan and Steve both failed to complete Terraforming Mars, Kemet, and Photosynthesis, but Adrian gracefully lets them off the hook. Adrian tells of his late-night addiction to Decrypto and then goes about setting Exploding Kittens as his next Oath. Dan adds Stuffed Fables to his list, while Steve doubles down on his oath by adding Cartographers and Paperback. --- The News (1:08) Sizzling Games: Fugitive (5:00), Pandemic Legacy Season 1 (14:44), Orleans (24:54) Topic of the Week: Card Games (36:18) Board Game Bracket (1:01:56) Swear An Oath (1:17:30) **FUGITIVE ONLINE** Fugitive by Tim Fowers is now online!

I chat to the incredibly thoughtful & talented Tim Fowers about all of his games. We go into: Why he prefers to sell on his own site instead of distribution Why he started Tabletop Network Who your audience really is (it's more than "people who like fantasy and games") And what crime he'd definitely be arrested for

Episode 58 is HERE, with the incredibly awesome and prolific board (and video) game designer Tim Fowers!

Tim Fowers is the punk rocker of game design. A purely independent tabletop and digital game developer, who distributes his games directly, rather than using big publishers and standard distribution channels. This allows Tim to stand out as a master of indy game design, who develop his games according to his artistic vision. There’s so much to learn in this episode – Enjoy!

Following up on Top 100 Co-ops from all of last week, we keep the co-op love going with this episode. First, Anthony and Jason share about their recent plays of Thanos Rising: Avengers Infinity War (4:13), letting you know if this game rises above its IP and can stand alone on its own. Then we chat about the new real time game from Tim Fowers that just shipped to Kickstarter backers, Now Boarding (12:12). For our latest Improve Your Play segment, we tackle a game that has earned its reputation for being very, very difficult to beat - Ghost Stories (23:50). Jason chats with designer Mike Mullins (Circle the Wagons, Pentaquark) about basic strategies to hopefully help your group over the finish line.

Boardgame Corner: The Podcast with Mark Streed and Ben Kutcher. A regular romp through the world of board games with reviews, previews, special guests and other non-sense.

Tim Fowers, designer of Burgle Bros and Fugitive, has a new game on Kickstarter called Now Boarding.  This is a cooperative games with real-time phases about delivering passengers across the United States.  It's chaotic and requires a lot of working together.  Now Boarding is the kind of cooperative game that hits a great balance where every player contributes and has to carry their own weight.  It’s really unique, unlike any other game that I’ve played before, and I do recommend you check it out.  It's not without its dislikes, which we'll discuss in the episode as well to give you a full review.  Hope you enjoy.

In episode 35, Craig pairs up two Word/Deck Building games in a comparison of mechanics and gameplay. First he talks about Paperback from Tim Fowers, the Dominion/Scrabble hybrid, and then he discusses Dexicon from Andrew Rowse and Eagle-Gryphon Games and the new concepts it adds to the almost stale deckbuilding genre. Lastly, Craig digs into Seven7s from Jason Tagmire and Eagle-Gryphon games, discussing its simple deck complexity. Also note, Craig is aware he is terrible at his job. Show Notes: Paperback (Tim Fowers): 8:30 Dexicon (Eagle-Gryphon): 20:30 Seven7s (Eagle-Gryphon): 38:04
