Episode 5 (Remastered): Legacy Games and Crossed Arms

A re-mastered version of Episode 5 with AI enhanced audio, where discuss one of my favorite types of games, Legacy games.  Then we go on a brief comparison of various “crossed arm” gestures seen in recent comic book films of the time.

The originator (although I’d love to see the “Clue: Legacy” that Rob originally came up with.

Having played more Legacy games since this episode’s release, this one is on the weaker side, game-wise, although it tells an interesting story.

Season 1 is very similar to the original Pandemic in many ways…

…while Season 2 starts off very differently.

Still fun to play after the campaign is over.

Impossible to play after the campaign is over, but a fun, creepy campaign.

At this point, it’s likely we won’t see her crossing her arms like this again…

…and sadly, we know we won’t be seeing him do so (R.I.P.)…

but this could still happen again in Deadpool 3!

Over 23 years now, and counting (again, when Deadpool 3 releases…).

Episode 109: Some Board Game Mechanics

Resource Management, Worker Placement, Area Control. You may have heard some of these terms and others as people discuss their favorite board games. But what do they mean? Using some of the most popular games around, we discuss these terms and others to help you learn more about how many board games are played.

Just a few of the many, many options out there. Knowing how each game is played will help you decide which one you want to play next.

Episode 62: Board Game Rules - How Strict Should They Be?

Board games are a more popular pastime than ever, but different people have grown up with their own house rules, and may want to go back and “redo” their turn from time to time.  A listener asks how important it is to follow the exact rules and stick to player decisions, and Kurt (with decades of board game playing under his belt) gives his opinion on the subject.

The example game we use for much of the discussion. If you’re not familiar, you need to stay in more.

One of the most commonly ignored rules (see the second paragraph).

One of the most well-known cooperative games available. And topical!
