GREAT EPISODE NAME, right?!
Season 2 comes to an end, almost exactly a year after it started. I do apologize that I haven't been more consistent with these episodes, but I'm not sorry for the reasons behind those delays. (Does that... even make sense?) Please join me in this episode to learn more.
Thanks for joining me for this happiest episode I've ever made.
Also, a huge thanks to Nelson from Nelson All Over Cards for joining in the episode, too. Sorry for the time(s) I say "Nelson Over Cards" instead of "Nelson All Over Cards" - I'm in marketing, and I should know better! Nelson - you're the best!
Season 3 will be here someday. Just give me some time to settle into this new way of being. :-)

The ostensible purpose of this episode is to discuss the latest South Tigris game - namely, Scholars of the South Tigris. What ends up happening is a retrospective on ALL of the North Sea, West Kingdom, and South Tigris games, which I'm sure is shocking to anyone who knows how LASER FOCUSED and ON TASK I usually am.

Episodes manquant?
-
Back for another episode! The audio quality is a bit low on this one, and I do apologize for that - I wanted to get this one HOT OFF THE PRESSES before I get a puppy in my house shortly.
IT'S FINE I AM NOT STRESSING ABOUT IT AT ALL

I'm selling things from my house, which means selling LOTS of things on Facebook. It sucks.
This episode is some musings (ramblings?) about "trust" in online communities that buy and sell things from strangers, and it offers some context for why I suck at putting out consistent content right now. I've got feelings about selling the house, and feelings of gratitude (mostly!) for you gamers out there.
(Sorry for the poor audio quality! I'm talking into a speakerphone in my car for this episode. Maybe hearing my voice less clearly is a... good thing?)

We'll keep this nice and short: I'm back from my lil' breaky, with aspirations for a more consistent output through the rest of this year!
For this short first episode back, I give my thoughts on a new game - Race to the Raft - by the designer of City of Kings and Isle of Cats.
I actually live with two cats now, and I've never had cats before this year! I'm a new man.
Not really. I just can't think of anything else to say here BYE

Just a short announcement that Season 2 is on a bit of a pause through August 2023. I'll be back with better content when life has calmed down a bit, and look for extra stuff on the Patreon in the meantime!

The three games: Ginkgopolis, Gugong, and Coffee Roaster
Keepin this description short because I feel self-conscious about the episode soooooo

This episode is a bit late, and that's because I went on vacation without bringing my computer! I'm very dumb, and I'm very sorry for that.
Tune in to hear me think about solo board games in the context of one particular video game: Tears of the Kingdom. How do size, scope, and sandbox-iness all fit into the experience of playing an "epic" game -- analog or digital?
(Please forgive the audio quality on this one.)
-
Well, we're back to an old saw here: a few more Roll and Writes, because I just can't stay away from these ding dang games.
Should I have made it more clear that I'm eschewing an old format from episodes two years ago? Does the beginning of this episode even make sense? Is the description section of a file that I'm uploading the appropriate place to sort all these things out?
TUNE IN TO GET NONE OF THESE ANSWERS AND MORE

Today, I'm taking a look at two solo-able card-driven games by a very interesting publisher (Fort Circle Games): Votes for Women and The Shores of Tripoli.
I feel like I should have explained that I play The Marines' Hymn because it says "The Shores of Tripoli" in that song. I... didn't say that, because I'm not a smart person.

There are three colons in the name of this episode! That is probably too many.
...
Uh. So.
Twilight Struggle is one of my very favorite all-time competitive games. It will never leave my collection, ever.
So how does a shorter version of Twilight Struggle, WITH A SOLO MODE, stack up?
I mean... I'm not gonna tell you here. You gotta listen to me ramble for 20 minutes to find out!

This is a hectic one, folks: I take exactly ten minutes to play and review (at the same time) the new game Fuse: Countdown, which is a real-time game that you play in exactly ten minutes!
If you want to know what I sound like stressed and unscripted, this is the episode for you!

A quick review of a quick game. It's REALLY good. (The game. The review... eh.)

I mean... the title pretty much says it all.
See you all next year!
