In this episode we are pleased to be joined by Russ Wakelin of the D6 Generation Podcast as we discuss one of his favorite games from Fantasy Flight. But which is it? Is it Starcraft The Board Game, released long ago in 2007 in the old coffin box that's unreasonably big and packed with loads of beautiful plastic miniatures? Or is it the "updated" version of the same system set in the Warhammer Universe with streamlined mechanisms and a reduced footprint?.

The Long View of Indonesia with Joe Wiggins Aug 10, 2017

Show notes

In this episode T.C. and Joe welcome Joe Wiggins of The Deep End Podcast to discuss Indonesia, published by Splotter Spellen. This unique economic game has a surprisingly simple ruleset but provides an immensely deep platform for interaction. Players will start companies not only producing and selling goods, but also shipping those goods to cities that will grow as players provide them with resources. Involuntary mergers and a tech tree round out some of the features of this modern classic.
