Whelp, it's over!  In many ways, that's the nicest thing we can say about 2020. But let's not be too hasty.  While board gamers have weathered a year without conventions, game groups, and many delays in new releases, there were quite a few really solid releases. We ran through the 32 best of those in last week's awards episode, and this week, we look back at what we had been most anticipating.  First up, though, is our question of the week: Have you been to the World Boardgaming Championships? What game would you compete in? (Thank you Drew for the question suggestion!) And then we dive into what came out, what didn't, and what's worth revisiting in 2020's game releases. Next stop: 2021!

The trivia game is a little more brutal than normal, with a penalty for a "predictably wrong" answer.

In this special episode of The Long View, I'm pleased to offer my report from two August Conventions, The World Boardgaming Championships, or WBC from Lancaster Pennsylvania, and GenCon from Indianapolis. In this episode, I share my experiences and impressions of these conventions, and offer reviews of games I played, or demoed, or viewed during my time at these great events.

Kevin used local manufacturing and a creative idea to bring his Bocce Dice game to market. Listen in as he and I discuss his journey that has made it easy for him to deliver a simple idea.

In this episode of The State of Games, Monkey and Dice take a look back on their past month of constant on-the-road adventures at various cons, such as WBC and GenCon, and special gaming events like a Celebration of Gaming at Labyrinth Games in Washington, DC. The duo share tales of unpublished prototypes like Paul Owens' meaty and fulfilling East India Company, getting to see how Ben Rosset's The Market has morphed into Nevermore Games' Mars Needs Mechanics, and how far Clever Mojo Games' Princes of the Dragon Throne has come since Origins. All this, plus Dice's constant name-dropping from GenCon, how Monkey has a vendetta against games that feature "cards with words," the joys of sharing brownie sundaes, VivaJava demos, Jason Kotarski's joys of hauling, and a look at Smash Up, Seasons, Morels, and Vegas!

This episode of The State of Games has it all - thrill to the spectacle of covering two major gaming conventions at once! Dice and Monkey head to the World Boardgaming Championships in Lancaster, PA and share their experiences in showing off Carnival and VivaJava, as well as playtesting a whole ton of cool prototypes, while correspondent Patrick Nickell travels to Indy for GenCon and grabs interviews with Steve Jackson, Reiner Knizia and more! All this, plus Carnival Kickstarter news, an official announcement about Origins 2012, and a chance to win a free copy of Launch Pad from Stratus Games.

This episode is aptly-titled as Dice and Monkey sit down for a chat with the ever-exuberant Stephen Buonocore of Stronghold Games. After Stephen and Monkey commiserate about their youths (pronounced yoots) in New York City, the conversation turns toward the pain-stakingly detailed process of bringing Confusion: Espionage and Deception in the Cold War to the gaming public. All this, plus upcoming releases from both Stronghold and Dice Hate Me Games, some corporate espionage, and all the dirt on the upcoming World Boardgaming Championships. Too much show? Fuhgeddaboudit.
