GenCon is over and Essen is coming up fast, which means more games on our Acquisition Disorder list than ever before. Listen to three games the guys can’t wait to see, including German Railroads, the first expansion for Russian Railroads, CVliziations, and the extremely attractive Premium Edition of Doomtown Reloaded.
At the Table
The summer gaming fest continues as the guys get even more stuff to the table. This week listen to Anthony’s take on Creative Clash, a first time game from The Infantree, Chris discusses the team’s first plays of the Voyages of Marco Polo – a sprawling new dice placement Euro that melds a bunch of mechanics together beautifully, and Nevermore – the new card game from Curt Covert and Smirk and Dagger Games, and a very attractive take on the classic Poe poem.
