For Glory - Card Game Review - Spielcraft Games - AUDIO Jan 30, 2023

Show notes

You can read the original review by visiting https://werenotwizards.blogspot.com/2023/01/for-glory-card-game-review-spielcraft.html This review is based on the retail version of the game provided to us by the designer and publisher. We were not paid for this review. We give a general overview of the gameplay and so not all of the mechanical aspects of the game may be mentioned. The majority of the games that we are play are going to take a reasonable number of sessions and playthroughs to fully understand every possibility that they offer. We hope this write up gives you an idea of whether or not this game is something that you will consider playing or even add to your collection. Our Six Degrees of Expectation have been written to make it easier for you to find out what is important to you as a player. Even if we don't like something, hopefully it helps you to decide if it is something that you should find out more about. We always suggest you check out a gameplay video to give you a better understanding of the game as it is played.

CJ Eggett - Tabletop Gaming Magazine Editor. Jan 21, 2023

Show notes

I'm joined by the Editor of Tabletop Gaming Magazine, CJ Eggett. We get into the serious subjects of Board Game Media and why they need to be stopped. Why you should be blaming Ben Maddox for everything. What we both think of paid previews. And more importantly, pitching your writing ideas in a winning way that will guarantee both popularity and fame. And I impersonate Ant and Dec. And we talk about exciting games that are exciting. I'm excited.
