Description

Sometimes I look at a board game and think, "That ain't right, man."Today we look at controversial and objectionable themes in board games -- who gets to decide what's right and what's wrong to include. Hint: it's not Shut Up and Sit Down's responsibility, who we take a few shots at. We explore how a controversial or objectionable theme affects the perception of a game's merit. We also review Glen More II, a game about producing the most whiskey and sheep in Scotland. Wait, didn't we do this one already? Nope! This one has tile placement, too!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/02:46 On Tour03:09 Ghandi03:31 Isle of Cats03:36 Everdell07:01 Root07:09 Maracaibo08:14 Eclipse08:17 Gloomhaven08:39 It's a Wonderful World09:29 Underwater Cities: New Discoveries10:41 FEATURE REVIEW Glen More II27:35 Barrage & Maracaibo28:27 FEATURE TOPIC Controversy and Objectionable Themes28:41 Secret Hitler29:56 Clans of Caledonia30:20 New Bedford34:48 Maracaibo36:43 Five Tribes37:00 Endeavor: Age of Sail39:51 4X, Eclipse, 18xx, Brass, John Company41:51 Spirit Island42:36 COIN Games and Soul of the Empire44:03 Rising Sun, Blood Rage, and Ankh44:48 Don't Drop the Soap
