Description

On this episode of TWFAW, we do a most magical and sorceror-like activity of laying tiles. We're reviewing the real-time tile-laying game Sorceror City. This is a game with three (that's right, three!) colors of tile. If you don't think that three colors can provide enough substance to theme a game, then baby, you've never seen red, blue, and yellow on a color wheel. And, in my unending bid to enjoin Tony to love a Lacerda game, we discuss what brings depth to a game's play space. And no, it's not a 3D printed board. Is it interlocking complex mechanisms or a simple but rich playspace that allows one to return to a game and develop skill?Leave us a review on Apple podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/y2eyvquxRead Tony's blog: https://boardgamegeek.com/user/maxlongstreet/blogsListen to more episodes on Spreaker: https://www.spreaker.com/show/two-wood-for-a-wheatVisit our website: http://twowood4awheat.com/01:10 Maracaibo03:01 Glen More II, Wavelength, Just One04:32 Codenames, Point Salad, Men at Work, Uno06:52 The Trolley Problem06:58 Egizia: Shifting Sands08:46 FEATURE REVIEW Sorceror City23:49 FEATURE TOPIC Depth of Play24:26 On Mars26:30 On Mars cont.27:45 The Castles of Burgundy28:33 On Mars & Castles of Burgundy29:46 Voyages of Marco Polo, Lorenzo il Magnifico, Underwater Cities31:17 Maracaibo34:21 18xx Games35:37 Maracaibo cont.36:54 18xx Games cont.37:10 The Voyages of Marco Polo37:53 Clans of Caledonia39:10 On Mars & Lisboa40:14 Rising Sun, Eclipse, Underwater Cities, Food Chain Magnate
