Podcast appearances and mentions of tony boydell

This week we talk about the game Aleph Null by Tony Boydell and published by Capstone Games.  The art is by Alex Leigh and music by Nicholas O'Neill.  I did not include music as I mentioned I might do, primarily because I didn't see it available on-line for public consumption. Anway, this game is about summoning the demon Baphomet, the Sabbat Goat.  It's a bit creepy and would be creepier if not for the excellent and light-hearted art by Alex Leigh.  Either way, it's a really fun game in which you are trying to cast a ritual to summon Baphomet by playing cards from your hand and slowly using them up to do magics with the hope of finally completing the ritual as expected. Aleph Null (BGG, Capstone Games)

This week, Jane and I visit Tony Boydell's Museum of Board Games and have a right good time! Highlights include: - Board games basically just make you a better person... - Don't confuse Newent and Newnham... - Prepare for Battle Hats! - If you play the original Booby Trap, you'll legit lose a finger... - There's a surprising amount of parliament games... -  Hello dear, fancy a game of Ulcers?

I had a week off in February, so while Shelley was at work one day, I spent part of my day on a Google Meet call with the wonderful Tony Boydell - designer of such games as Snowdonia, Lux Aeterna, Alubari: A Nice Cup of Tea, Race the Rails, and - of course - Scandaroon!
