This week, Conor and Lauren are joined by Peter C Hayward, designer of podcast darling Things in Rings. Peter sports his blue beard talking about his approach to design, his plethora of upcoming releases, and his affinity for Pixar easter eggs. Then, Lauren shares her recent Button Shy escapades. Conor tells us about some prototypes from former podcast host Sarah which includes a disdain for onions and affinity for spirits. There is no Question of the Pod this week due to scheduling changes, but we'll return to our QotP segment in our next release. Outside that, there's still the usual chatter about what has been hitting our tables, and what has us fired up!

In Episode 7, we review Kutná Hora: The City of Silver and discuss our first, second, and third impressions of the game. To start off the episode, we chat about the games that are bringing us joy: Isle of Cats, The King Is Dead: Second Edition, Faraway, and Paladins of the West Kingdom. Developing the City of Silver through purchasing plots of land, securing building permits, and expanding the mines, we discuss the variable economic market, constructing the grand Saint (Santa) Barbara's Cathedral, and paying taxes in this hand management and tile placement game by Czech Games Edition. Although this game makes for an enjoyable play that none of us will turn down, it has us thinking about what creates staying power in a game.

When did paladins get associated so heavily with tabletop roleplaying games? Why do they have a holy aspect to them? Is there a modern day paladin? We have no idea, and we don't answer any of those questions in this podcast. BUT, we do this week is play Paladins of the West Kingdom by S. J. MacDonald and Shem Philips. It was printed by Garphill Games in 2019. Post your comments to Twitter/Instagram @FirstTurnCast or email us at firstturntabletop@gmail.com. Please remember to rate, review, and subscribe!

The ostensible purpose of this episode is to discuss the latest South Tigris game - namely, Scholars of the South Tigris. What ends up happening is a retrospective on ALL of the North Sea, West Kingdom, and South Tigris games, which I'm sure is shocking to anyone who knows how LASER FOCUSED and ON TASK I usually am.

In episode 178, we discuss some hobby specific terms and how our definitions may vary from their original meaning. We also give examples of board games where those definitions are relevant (and also some examples where they aren't). We kick the conversation off by discussing a listener poll related to board game terminology.

Introduction Shem Phillips is a board game designer from New Zealand. He founded Garphill Games in 2009 and is known for his medium to medium-heavy Euros such as the medieval trilogies (North Sea, West Kingdom, South Tigris) and Ancient Anthology series. He often works with S. J. (Sam) Macdonald. The use of trilogies in game design In your sermon online (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXUfbhP20Iw&t=1258s), you mention how game testing is like prayer: “look for feelings not suggestions.” How do you relate today to the loss of your father? In Ezra & Nehemiah, you explore your first explicitly Biblical theme. What went into the decision to design a Bible-themed game? Why Ezra and Nehemiah? You mention a kind of “leap of faith” moment for yourself when you decide to go into board gaming. It was so encouraging. Would advice or encouragement would you have for any listeners who are maybe facing their kind of “leap of faith” moment? the place of music and lyrics You think about life and faith a lot through lyrics (you're in church band, and you describe yourself as a “lyrics nerd”). What are some bands or artists that you think especially excel at good lyrics? The facing of personal tragedies How did religion help you grieve the loss of your dad?

Decision Space is the podcast about decisions in board games. Join our active and welcoming Discord community, Join the crew today! (Decision Space Patreon), or Leave us a review wherever you found this podcast!  Episode 134 - What We Talk About When We Talk About Games That Play Fast Good luck keeping up with the conversation in this week's throwback WWTA episode, because things move fast. If you don't believe me, then check the timestamps. We throw out games quicker than you can say, "I miss old school board games where you had to wait 20 minutes between turns!" In this week's episode we discuss, broadly, games that play fast, what that means, and what we perceive as a growing appetite in the board game hobby for this titular phrase. Ready or not the Interdecisional Spaceship is taking off right now! (Wow! That was fast.)   Pre-Planners Hey pre-planners, get those plays in of Ark Nova and Food Chain Magnate while the playing is good. Other games we are considering for a deep dive right now are Torres and Santa Monica.   Timestamps  Intro - 0:00 Housekeeping - 2:48 Main Topic - 6:10 Battlestar Galactica - 8:54 A Feast for Odin - 11:37 Ark Nova - 11:55 Wingspan - 14:47 Gloomhaven - 15:12 Castles of Burgundy - 19:34 Torres - 20:16 El Grande - 20:20 Tikal, Cuzco - 21:34 Cascadia - 26:06 Five Tribes - 29:09 Keyflower - 31:01 Carcasonne - 32:48 Broom Service - 33:28 Sheriff of Nottingham - 34:29 Findorff - 35:17 Ticket to Ride - 36:17 1849 (We're the train game podcast) - 39:05 Ra - 39:54 Architects of the West Kingdom - 42:07 Tricktaking Games - 43:54 Challengers - 47:54 Spades - 49:13 Caesar!

"Welcome, dear listeners, to another riveting episode of Two Wood for a Wheat! Today, we delve into the mysterious realms of the new game sensation, Legacy of Yu, where strategy meets sorcery and dice rolls hold the fate of empires. Join us as we bravely navigate the treacherous waters of punishing board game mechanics, where victory is hard-won and defeat leaves you craving redemption. Grab your dice, sharpen your wits, and prepare for a wild ride through the lands of chance and strategy!"At least that's what ChatGPT thought I should say when I got lazy and wanted it to write a summary for me. But the robots have not done their research.Legacy of Yu is actually a solo deck building legacy game brought to you by Shem Phillips and illustrated by his brother Sam Phillips. One of us thinks it's one of the best solo games of the year while the other thinks something... else. Well, then we're punishing ourselves with the elements of punishing games.00:07:50 Bunny Kingdom00:11:12 Ark Nova00:13:22 Applejack, Earth, It's a Wonderful World00:14:40 Frosthaven00:16:24 FEATURE REVIEW Legacy of Yu00:16:32 Raiders of the North Sea, ... of the West Kingdom, ... of the South Tigris00:27:33 Pandemic00:44:55 FEATURE DISCUSSION The Elements of Punishing Games00:46:00 Agricola00:46:15 Ark Nova00:49:39 Barrage00:51:58 Cosmic Frog00:53:41 Blood Rage00:55:13 Resurgence00:57:42 Pandemic, Pavlov's House01:00:10 Terra Mystica01:04:21 Heaven and Ale01:05:42 Food Chain Magnate01:09:41 Argent the ConsortiumJoin us in the conversation on discord: https://tinyurl.com/2wood4wheatAsk us a question at TwoWoodForAWheat@gmail.comLeave us a review on Apple podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/two-wood-for-a-wheat/id1447901771Read Tony's blog: https://boardgamegeek.com/user/maxlongstreet/blogsThanks to God Street Wine for our intro and outro music: https://www.facebook.com/GodStreetWine/

Episode 117 - Overcentralizing Mechanisms and Messina 1347 First and foremost, thank you to everyone who voted for Decision Space to be nominated for a Golden Geek award. We are honored to be nominated alongside a ton of great podcasts. Good luck to everyone nominated in all categories! This weeks episode is something of an experiment. We are trying out a new deep dive format, where we provide our review and decision space exploration for Messina 1347 and reserve the second half of the episode for a related topical discussion on overcentralizing mechanisms (closely related to overcentralizing strategy and/or dominant strategy). We are trying to make sure that our deep dive episodes offer something to all of our listeners, even if you are unfamiliar and/or uninterested in Messina 1347. We'd love to hear your thoughts on how this went, and all feedback will absolutely be considered for future deep dive episodes! Now that the in-flight, safety information is taken care of, sit back and enjoy your trip on the Interdecisional Spaceship!   Pre-Planners The Resistance and Social Deduction Games, Troyes, Architects of the West Kingdom, and Chicago Express Timestamps Ratings and Slogans - 0:00 Housekeeping - 3:53 Messina 1347 Background - 5:18 Rules Overview - 7:58 Messina 1347 Deep Dive - 9:51 Overcentralizing Mechanisms - 32:54 Living Forest - 39:34 Hansa Teutonica - 41:14 A Feast for Odin - 48:46 A Few Acres of Snow - 55:44 Puerto Rico - 56:10 Pre-Planners - 56:42   Music and Sound Credits Thank you to Hembree for our intro and outro music from their song Reach Out.

Now that that announcement is out of the way, in this weeks episode of Decision Space, we try out a brand new episode format. First we discuss some recent play experiences of Hansa Teutonica, Zoo Vadis, and Go, three games that make you say, "I can't believe you've done this." We then follow that up with a more topical discussion of blocking in games, one thing that all three games have in common. Pre-Planners Messina 1347 and The Resistance coming next. We are also adding Troyes to the list. (Thanks Patrons!)

(Decision Space Patreon), or Leave us a review wherever you found this podcast! Episode 100 - Episode 100 We made it to 100 episodes of Decision Space. There isn't much else to do but give a heartfelt thank you to everyone who made this possible. Thanks Brendan for taking this show to greater heights and deeper dives than I would have thought possible. Thanks Maya and Bridget for putting up with hours of their husbands recording, editing, and, of course playing games. Thank you patreon supporters for quite literally impacting every episode though your sage advice and financial support (hello shiny new microphone and big plans for the future). Most importantly of all, thank you to our listeners, without you I promise you this project would have come and gone long ago. We love you all and are always humbled that you choose to spend some of your week with us! In this week's episode, we talk about the games we played over our holiday break with family and friends. We discuss the future of the show and what we hope to see in the next 100 episodes from here. Finally, we end the episode with a little mission planning about some of the games we hope (or at least one of us hopes) to deep dive on the show in the future. This Interdecisional Spaceship is now departing for its 100th voyage! Pre-Planners I'd recommend getting your plays in of Renature now, deep dive coming soon.

Even modern Catholic leadership will agree that the church was horribly corrupt in the Middle Ages. Systems were put in place specifically to keep the elites in their place and the peasants in theirs. This week we will discuss God's plan to keep churches free of corruption; a hero of song and legend who was probably anything but; the angst we feel when we see the powers that be going down the same crooked road; and the impossibility of winning God's game by using Satan's tactics. Hal Hammons is the preacher for the Lakewoods Drive church of Christ in Georgetown, Texas. He is the host of the Citizen of Heaven podcast. You are encouraged to seek him and the Lakewoods Drive church through Facebook and other social media. Lakewoods Drive is an autonomous group of Christians dedicated to praising God, teaching the gospel to all who will hear, training Christians in righteousness, and serving our God and one another faithfully. We believe the Bible is God's word, that Jesus died on the cross for our sins, that heaven is our home, and that we have work to do here while we wait. Regular topics of discussion and conversation include: Christians, Jesus, obedience, faith, grace, baptism, New Testament, Old Testament, authority, gospel, fellowship, justice, mercy, faithfulness, forgiveness, Twenty Pages a Week, Bible reading, heaven, hell, virtues, character, denominations, submission, service, character, COVID-19, assembly, Lord's Supper, online, social media, YouTube, Facebook.

May 1, 2022 Please join my Discord server https://discord.io/BoardgamesToGo There you can find other BGTG (and WargamesToGo) listeners, introduce yourself, share some current gaming thoughts, find online opponents, and maybe even meet someone who lives within driving distance of you in the real world. It's happened! Opener: Playing games with the "correct" player count (e.g. Disney Villainous) The last two episodes have been a look back. Back at my entire time in the hobby, and also back at the first Top Ten list of favorite games I ever made. It was fun for me to reflect on those titles, finding how many of them I still enjoy. But admittedly, it featured a lot of old games. I think the NEWEST game on that list was twenty years old! Now I wanted to make more of an effort to talk about some recent games I enjoy. Because the truth is that I play new games all the time. I'm not a Cult of the New guy, but between my own purchases and those of my buddies, we still fill most game nights with one or more titles that are new to us. I've long maintained that encountering a new game is a significant aspect to the hobby--especially among the most avid hobbyists. I'm not so different. In theory I'd also like to be part of "the conversation" about whatever is topical in our hobby, but in practice I'm usually behind that curve. When I set out to make a list of these recent games I like, I first thought in terms of the past decade. Or just take it back to 2010, to use a round number. Fortunately, everyone around me laughed me out of the room, saying that a dozen years ago isn't anyone's idea of "recent." So I tried harder, limiting myself to games released in the past five years. So that's 2017. It's the best I could do. Then I heard the recommendation to include another gamer friend who's much more focused on the latest releases. Brian Murray has been on my podcast before, but it's been a while. Now I was super glad to have him onhand to share his top five recent games, and he went MUCH more contemporary than I did. We wrapped up by sharing our honorable mentions. Brian mentioned Lost Ruins of Arnak, Cataclysm, Res Arcana, Faiyum, and Viscounts of the West Kingdom, while I also included Just One, War Chest, The Mind, Belratti, Little Town, and The Adventures of Robin Hood. Closer: Not relocating, and vaccines are working, so I'm looking forward to some gaming events. -Mark
