Episode 65 - We Aren't Dead Oct 11, 2017

Show notes

Back from illness, our hosts are joined once again by Wesley, and after some talk of drinking-related events, they dive into some recently played games. Jeff played a less intense version of Hanabi, Zach swindled an office building in Burgle Bros, Welsey found the right letters in Paperback, and Adrian got overwhelmed by money in For-Ex. Jeff gets caught up in the Bloody Minute, and then it is on to News and Kickstarters. In News, Eldritch horror and Inis get more expansions. Then in Kickstarters, the 7th Continent does its second printing and adds another expansion, Near and Far does the same, Tiny Epic Defenders gets a second edition AND an expansion, and our hosts complain about poker chips in GameChips. Our Contest winner for Seven7s is announced and a couple emails close out the show.

MHGG Discuss - Boardgame Review Ethics Sep 29, 2017

Show notes

In this episode we return to our roots by having an in-depth discussion rather than our normal review. The topic this week is Boardgame Review Ethics and is inspired by a similar discussion on the Botch Games Podcast (featuring guests Edward, from Heavy Cardboard, and Chris, from Dice Hate Me Games), and the resulting conversations on BGG and Facebook. We hope to mix in more of these discussion topics from time to time so be sure to give us some feedback on what you though of the episode!

Episode 64 - A Test of Courtly Graces Sep 27, 2017

Show notes

Our Hosts introduce somebody new to the podcast, Caitlin, before talking about newly played games. Zach went too fast in Lazer Ryderz, Adrian tried to fight off settlers in Spirit Island, and Jeff remains vague in Gloomhaven. After an in depth rundown of the last play of Tales of the Arabian Nights with Caitlin, our hosts move onto News and KS. Roll for the Galaxy gets an app, Fanmade Ancient Horror brights Cthulhu to the Bronze Age, and Heroes of the Black Reach brings Warhammer 40k into the Heroes of Normandie System. In Kickstarters, STEM: Epic Heroes tries to make a game with the scientific method, and The CHhmpion of the Wild tries to find out if an Orca or Ant would be better at jousting. A couple emails, tweets, and thanks to new Patrons close out the show.
