Description

The leaves are falling, the PSL girls have awoken from their summer chrysalis into their winged-ugg boot form, and it's cold enough that I no longer feel guilty staying inside playing board games all day. By the light of the full moon, we're reviewing the Spiel-nominated Nova Luna, a time track tile-laying game reimplemented by the brilliant Uwe Rosenberg. Then, just in time for spook-tober, we discuss what gives board game its soul. That's right, Euro games have souls 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/01:10 Coatl & Truffle Shuffle01:55 Alice's Garden & Wonderland War03:20 Tekhenu, Terraforming Mars, & Terraforming Mars: Colonies expansion04:15 Spyfall05:03 Gaia Project05:50 Kingdom Builder & Dominion07:55 Marco Polo 208:12 Calico08:20 My City08:30 Tekhenu08:55 FEATURE REVIEW Nova Luna22:22 FEATURE DISCUSSION The Soul of a Game24:07 Nova Luna24:35 Ingenious26:57 Terraforming Mars, Point Salad, & Race for the Galaxy28:40 Food Chain Magnate, Eclipse, Twilight Struggle, & Rising Sun29:44 Chess30:05 Dogs of War 32:20 Sea of Clouds33:35 Abomination34:50 Dune37:06 Underwater Cities, A Feast for Odin, & Maracaibo39:25 Heaven & Ale40:09 Teotihuacan41:13 Res Arcana42:50 Lisboa & On Mars44:49 Just One46:17 Quacks of Quedlinburg47:16 Blood Rage & Rising Sun, Root50:46 Altiplano, Carpe Diem, High Rise53:27 Castles of Burgundy54:03 This War of Mine
