  • After the first unboxing, Botany by Dux Somnium Games has been a mainstay on our table top for the last month and a half. Blown away by the easy of gameplay and the sneaky strategy that kept us coming back for more, we thought it was time to talk to talk to half of the design design team, Dusty Droz, about it.

  • A universal problem, and tabletop investigation.

    We weren't sure what to expect with CMYK Games release "Daybreak" -- box art and description were intriguing, but we were not prepared for it at all.

    An amazing mix of education and gaming, this cooperative experience had us cheering for our success and fearing the consequences of our failures each time we played.

    Why? Well, come check the episode out and see.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
