OA 21: Distilled Dec 14, 2023

Show notes

Since its been a while since college we all decided to try some mid-week brewing and drinking with Paverson's newest, hard to find board game Distilled. This quick overview comes after 6 play-throughs at varied play counts. Will it be a full on buzz or a kick in the head hangover? With this crew you never know.

OA 20: Vivarium Nov 13, 2023

Show notes

We went down a ⁠Hatchett Games⁠ and Studio H rabbit hole friends! This episode we discuss "Vivarium". From the publisher: An efficient and tense card collection game, with a great artistic direction! Each turn players use dominoes to create coordinates that allow them to build their card collection. After 7 rounds, the player that has successfully completed their objectives and collected the greatest creatures wins the game.

OA 19: Scythe and Jamey Stegmaier Oct 14, 2023

Show notes

We have taken corrective action for having Scythe on the shelf of shame for months (years?) -- we have finally cracked the "Big Box" open and absolutely destroyed it with replays. And what better way to atone for our transgression by bringing the designer, G.O.A.T., Richmond hometown hero, and President of Stonemaier Games, Jamey Stegmaier to the Undercroft for a little conversation? This is big show folks -- big laughs, bigger guest, all heart. This is one for the books (and a fitting way to ring in our 1 year show anniversary). Thanks to Jamey and thanks to you all for listening. We wouldn't be here without you all.

OA 18: 1971 (and 1961) Oct 11, 2023

Show notes

We have teamed with House Fish Balloon Games to preview their @kickstarter Campaign for 1971. 1971 is a standalone sequel to the team's original Cold War Card Game 1961. It can be played with OR without the base game, 1961. We had a lively conversation about both games utilizing our new tech! This is a fun one folks so tune in and listen to our opinions on this great game.

OA 17: Illiterati Oct 05, 2023

Show notes

If you were at @gen_con or are currently in lines for @spiel_essen -- stop by the @gapclosergames booth and grab a copy of Illiterati (and upgrades if they have them!) -- we were lucky enough to get a pre-release copy and started taking it to the streets to show our area, and now, for your ears, are dropping the show to rave about it. Mulitple plays, never the same, and never boring. A 1-5 player cooperative word game set in a dystopian world where reading and words are maligned, this is an absolutely beautiful game that would make an incredible gift for the bookish in your life.

OA 16: In the Footsteps of Darwin Sep 19, 2023

Show notes

We were lucky enough to get an early copy of the amazing Sorry We Are French and Hatchett Games release "In The Footsteps of Darwin". From the publisher: In In the Footsteps of Darwin, players are junior naturalists who have just arrived aboard the Beagle to help Charles Darwin finish his book On the Origin of Species. During this journey, you will study animals, carry out cartographic surveys, publish your findings, and develop theories. SPOILER: Its incredible. So while the creators are out promoting the release from conference to conference, we wanted to do our share and get the word out about it to help 'em out.

Show notes

It's not new, but it was new to us. This episode we discuss one of @greyfoxgames Midgard-centered games "Reavers of Midgard". We thankfully pulled this off the shelf of shame and into the ether of the podcast realm. If you are interested, this game is available from a host of fine dealers across the internet now.
