Intro Banter: The guys catch up with all things in the Spoken Token world and the gaming world and just….the world! Larry talks about some favorite music!! First up is Stefon Harris. I don't think you can go wrong with him, but the album of his that is my favorite is African Trantella (Dances with Duke), SO SO Good.   Lionel Hampton is a notable historic figure on the same instrument, the Vibraphone. At any rate, music, is good, games are good music and games are REALLY good, play what you like and listen to what inspires you!! Under the Hood:  We roll up our sleeves and talk about games from the perspective of their mechanics! The mechanisms that are present and cover what some of the buzzwords may mean. Tableau building is what its called on BGG, we call it Engine building! Definition: "Engine Building" is a genre of board game where players slowly build up a system of generating resources, money, or victory points - typically this engine becomes more efficient as the game goes on, leading to a satisfying sense of achievement when the machine runs at full speed. Here are some of the best engine building board games. From: Boardgameprices.com   There is some considerable discussion on BGG about the term and it is of note that there is NO official entry in the Mechanics page of BGG for “Engine Building”. They have deck/pool building though.   Games we cover this episode in conjunction with engine building in Board Games: Wingspan  By Stonemaier Games Gizmos By CMON Splendor By Space Cowboys Alien Artifacts By Portal Games Scythe By Stonemaier Games Outside the Box - Tabletop games outside the normal scope.

And it's so cool to get something that is practical AND will help you want to play games more!! (yo Joe!)
