    Episode 321: Sea, Salt & Paper, 51st State, the Undaunted series
    Nov 26 2024
    In this week’s podcast, Conor, Adrian and Joe serve up a slew of games. Adrian goes off the rails with an amuse-bouche sizzle of Age of Steam, before diving into a game of drafting and collecting sets in Sea, Salt & Paper. Joe has been playing his cards just right to build up his resources in 51st State – a game with a theme that definitely has nothing to do with current world events and everything is absolutely fine. Conor rounds it off with a war – in SPACE. He talks through the Undaunted series of games including its most recent standalone Undaunted 2200: Callisto. You'd think those corporations would be happier given they're fighting over the moon. We then turn to our recap of last week’s question of the pod, and what is getting us fired up lately.

    Episode 319: Special Guest Carl Van Ostrand
    Nov 11 2024

    Get ready to dive into the latest episode as Adrian and Conor (our beloved Donkey and Shrek duo) are joined by the one and only Carl Van Ostrand for a lively, laughter-packed episode!

    In this Episode:

    • Conor dives into “Conservas” – Conor brings us some canned goodness with Conservas, a game inspired by the culinary world of Portuguese tinned fish. Who knew sardines could be so strategic? But it’s not just fishy puns and packaging – this game is a deep dive into unique set collection with a side of savory strategy.
    • Adrian takes us to “Windmill Valley” – Adrian introduces us to Windmill Valley, a whimsical, pastoral escape that combines the scenic beauty of countryside villages with relaxing resource management.
    • Carl brings the ocean to the table with “Kelp” – Carl shares insights on Kelp, an immersive and atmospheric game where players navigate the undersea world. Think survival meets symbiosis as you explore marine mysteries, form alliances with underwater creatures, and strategize to thrive in a beautifully crafted ecosystem.

    Tune in for all the laughs, banter, and maybe even a little bit of singing (we see you, Donkey). Don’t miss this episode if you’re curious about coastal adventures, curious card games, or just love hearing Conor and Adrian’s dynamic Shrek-and-Donkey energy!
