Description

Ever feel like the system was made to work against you? Like no matter how hard you try, the world conspires to make sure you stay under the heel of a boot? Like every warship of the Victorian era naval powers is out hunting you and your sodium-mercury battery-powered super-submarine before you can ram their imperial trading routes into oblivion? Well then Nemo's War may be the game for you!Drive the vassal states into open rebellion in this mitigation action-point allowance dice-chucker, and try not to go mad as Captain Nemo as you do it. Then listen to our discussion of our top 10 flawed games that we still love. Tony chooses imperfect but very appreciable games while Pat takes the route of nursing big-issue-games into a loving home.Thanks for listening to Two Wood for a Wheat!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/03:18 Chess, Oh Hell, Point Salad03:36 Tzolkin, Nippon, Madeira, Panamax04:23 Castles of Burgundy07:56 Clans of Caledonia08:47 Gloomhaven on Tabletop Simulator10:39 FEATURE REVIEW Nemo's War39:10 FEATURE DISCUSSION Flawed Games that We Love41:34 Qwirkle42:45 Robo Rally44:01 Hanabi45:01 Titan47:22 Fresh Fish48:40 Above & Below50:58 Concept52:29 Orleans54:19 Clank!55:40 Assault of the Giants57:53 Dominant Species59:17 Siderial Confluence01:01:26 John Company01:03:24 Murder in the Dark01:06:47 Escape Plan01:08:05 Nippon01:10:15 Seafall01:12:27 Abomination01:14:39 Grimslingers01:17:16 Gloomhaven
