The Kickstarter Squad is back! Liz from Beyond Solitaire and Jeremy from Jambalaya Plays Games have returned to being you the latest and greatest of delivered Kickstarter projects. As serendipity would have it, these games were all featured at GenCon 2019 as well (yeah, I know the big show was over a month ago, but… branding!) First up, Jason shares about Everdell: Pearlbrook (8:30), the first expansion to one of the real surprise hits from last year. Two more expansions for Everdell happen to be live on Kickstarter as we speak, so check out of Jason and Liz think they…

Jason is happy to welcome Mike Melkonian to the show to talk about Dance Card, a highly thematic card game with a theme of high school students having fun at a dance recital. There’s set collection, dice rolling, and maybe most importantly for ENGN fans, solo and coop mode. Check it out as Mike talks about the development of Dance Card, not only it’s mechanisms and thematic integration, but also larger issues of representation as well. Mike is a super, super excited guy, and it was a joy to talk to him. (The aftershow is completely random basketball talk that…

Our (belated yet still hopefully valuable) GenCon coverage rolls on, this time with some short games that use dice to make them go. First up, Jason shares about Unbroken (4:46), a resource management game of survival that is optimized for the one player experience.

If you want to hear further thoughts about the situation, please stay tuned until the end of the episode. Then, Anthony chats about the newest Matt Leacock dice game, Era: Medieval…

Today, Anthony is back from his summer hiatus! And we have even more family weight games for your enjoyment, either with your family or as a solo gamer. We start with two games that take familiar pieces of culture and make fun games out of them – The Fifty Nine Parks Print Series in the game Parks (6:38), and the Periodic Table of Elements in Periodic: A Game of Elements (12:30). We then turn to two more games that happened to do really well on Kickstarter – a nifty card drafting game called Villagers (19:36), and the next in the…
