Heavy Cardboard Episode 41 - Lignum Feb 04, 2016

Show notes

Gut Holz! Lignum is the featured game of this episode. Does this game make the cut? Or, do we have an ax to grind? Ok, that's terrible, but our conversation about the game could interest you! We also talk about Bretagne and Signorie. We think you'll find our conclusions interesting!

Heavy Cardboard Episode 40 - Nippon Jan 22, 2016

Show notes

Portugal figures heavily (pun intended) into episode 40 as we discuss both The Gallerist and Nippon - both games sprang from the creative minds of Portugal's brightest designers! In between, we go into space and talk about Roll for the Galaxy, the dice engine game that is Race for the Galaxy's younger cousin.

Heavy Cardboard Episode 39 - Top 50 Favorite Games of Right Now Jan 07, 2016

Show notes

Lists. They inspire reflection, emotion, balance and - most importantly - they inspire conversation! Edward and Tony present their top 50 favorite games of right now! We had two caveats when we compiled our lists: (1) no filler games and (2) the games could be of any weight class. We also share the results of the poll of our listeners for their top 10 games.

Heavy Cardboard Podblast - Top & Bottom 5 new games to us in 2015 Dec 24, 2015

Show notes

A quick Christmas Eve podblast from your friends at Heavy Cardboard! What's a podblast? A short and sweet conversational topic. A "blast" of fun. In this podblast, we present our lists of the top 5 games that were new to us in 2015. Two caveats: (1) we consider nothing released in 2015 for this list and (2) no filler games in the list. Also, we have a second list in this podblast. A list of games that were new to us in 2015 but were disappointments. This one can (and does) include games from 2015 (still, no filler games in this list either). This was fun, hope y'all enjoy it! - Listen up, it's just under 20 minutes, and tell us your lists!

Heavy Cardboard Episode 38 - Mombasa Dec 17, 2015

Show notes

Alexander Pfister is on a roll and Heavy Cardboard is reviewing his heaviest work, Mombasa. It's a game that has some very unique mechanics: an interesting take on stock ownership and hand management. Listen to the episode and our take on the game.

Heavy Cardboard Episode 37 - All the games! Dec 03, 2015

Show notes

The main feature of episode 37 is, well, lots & lots of games. We've played a lot of games lately what with BGG CON and all. We'll cover all that and the super awesome Heavy Cardboard gathering at BGG CON. Along the way, Euro Crisis and 18MS are the subjects of our trailers.

Heavy Cardboard Episode 36 - Neue Heimat Nov 19, 2015

Show notes

Neue Heimat. Gesundheit! This wicked little auction game is the primary topic of discussion. We love auction games here at Heavy Cardboard, and if you do too, check this one out. Also, we talk a little about Ships, the new Martin Wallace release. Macao, and older Feld design is yet another topic of discussion.

Heavy Cardboard Episode 35 - Food Chain Magnate Nov 05, 2015

Show notes

Food Chain Magnate. Joris and Jeroen talked about it during our interview. We got hyped up for the game. Finally, it arrived. Finally, we played it. Did it live up to the hype? Give a listen and find out. Also, we have a series of short discussions on the Essen games we have had a chance to play so far. Honestly, it's been a mixed bag, but that's to be expected. What do you guys think? What Essen games have you played?
