Description

18XX games have a reputation for heaviness & for being intimidating to get into. It doesn't help that, on top of that, they seemingly are a niche genre within a niche genre. In this episode we discuss why we're excited about 18XX gaming in the hopes that we can help folks get over the hump & inspire our fellow heavy game enthusiasts to explore this genre of game!

In each episode of the podcast, we will focus our attention on one heavy game to discuss. We’ll share our thoughts and opinions on the game with our listeners. Our intention is not to teach you how to play but to help inform you about the game and hopefully help you decide if a game is one you’d like.

Will Rui Hachimura Start Game 2? D'Angelo Russell to the Bench? Adjustments for the Lakers.: The Lakers played essentially two different games on Wednesday in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals - a small lineup game that put them in a big hole, and a large lineup game that helped them climb out. And while it wasn't enough to actually win, many wonder if the Lakers found a formula they can use in tonight's Game 2 in Denver. Will Rui Hachimura spend a lot of time guarding Nuggets star Nikola Jokic, helping Anthony Davis roam the paint more actively as a help defender? It worked on Wednesday, but will the Nuggets counter more effectively if/when the Lakers go back to it? And how will the Lakers counter the counter? And really, when it's all said and done, how much mental and emotional energy should the Lakers spend trying to "stop" Jokic? What does that even mean, really? Instead, could they look to try and put a lid on the rest of the squad, as much as possible? And assuming Hachimu by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers

Lakers vs. Suns, In-Season Tournament Preview: Can LA Go to Vegas and "Get the Whole Bag?": Lakers vs. Suns is probably the marquee game of the In Season Tournament quarterfinals, with both teams looking to punch their tickets to Las Vegas. At the beginning of the season, the idea that any of that would be meaningful, from a big time game in the tourney quarterfinals, to two teams with Larry O'Brien type championship aspirations would care about advancing seemed naive. But now? It's exactly what's happening, because the level of interest and enthusiasm for this inaugural event has been higher than likely the League itself could have hoped. Players care. Fans, especially judging by the crowds in Indiana and Sacramento on Monday, care. It's most definitely a thing, at this point. And as Rui Hachimura said at Monday's practice, the Lakers want to win, get to Vegas and "get the whole bag." So why did so many people, even those (like your hosts) who weren't anti-tournament, but figured it w by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers
