Description

As employers, we gamers are a strange lot. We are expected to feed our workers, house them, give them their raw materials; we tell them where to go, when to work,a nd for how long; we subject them to fires, predation, starvation... and on top of all this, in some games we appear to confiscate all their wages! At least in Food Chain Magnate we occasionally allow them to go to the beach. Under strict supervision. Until we permit them the sweet release of death. I mean, until they "retire." Yeah, that sounds better.Games Played Last Week:01:24 -Air, Land, & Sea: Spies, Lies, & Supplies (Jon Perry, Arcane Wonders, 2022)02:59 -Tinners' Trail (Martin Wallace, Alley Cat Games, 2021)06:09 -Skytear Horde (Giacomo Neri and Riccardo Neri, Skytear Games, 2023)11:31 -Great Western Trail: Argentina (Alexander Pfister, eggertspiele, 2022)16:57 -The Stygian Society (Kevin Wilson, APE Games, 2020)21:56 -Company of Heroes (Bryan Kromley, Bad Crow Games, 2021)29:05 -Voyages (Matthew Dunstan and Rory Muldoon, Postmark Games, 2021)31:53 -Woodcraft (Ross Arnold and Vladimír Suchý, Delicious Games, 2022)News (and why it doesn't matter):33:58 Potential SVWAG-Con poll! https://forms.gle/R7pDHNnx5EQXgSUh834:40 Support content creators that you like!

A podcast about all manner of hobby games by Mike Walker and Mark Bigney. Bad games don't go easy on you, so we don't go easy on them. Thorough analysis via reviews, news, and discussion of topics in gaming. We take context seriously, we value your time, and we're not into hype. Just because games are fun doesn't mean we can't take them seriously, and just because we take them seriously doesn't mean we can't have fun.
