Description

One has to be careful in buffet situations. There are so many options, and you are pulled in so many different directions. You must differentiate the false urgency from the genuinely pressing, and it is a test of your evaluation and timing skills to successfully navigate your priorities. What to do, and when? How much of what? If you fail to make the wise choices, you might not get through the dessert. Games Played Last Week:02:20 -IKI: Akebono (Koota Yamada, Sorry We Are French, 2023)08:22 -Inhuman Conditions (Tommy Maranges & Cory O'Brien, Web published, 2018)13:19 -FlickFleet: Xeno Wars (Jackson Pope & Paul Willcox, Eurydice Games, 2022)18:09 -Gods Love Dinosaurs (Kasper Lapp, Pandasaurus Games, 2020)22:35 -That's Not a Hat (Kasper Lapp, Ravensburger, 2023)26:00 -Fun Facts (Kasper Lapp, Repos Production, 2022)31:33 -Sail (Akiyama Koryu & Korzu Yusei, Allplay, 2023)35:51 -Sunrise Lane (Reiner Knizia, Horrible Guild, 2023)38:55 -Sky Team (Luc Rémond, Le Scorpion Masqué, 2023)News (and why it doesn't matter):40:35 Dexterity expansions!

A podcast about all manner of hobby games by Mike Walker and Mark Bigney. Bad games don't go easy on you, so we don't go easy on them. Thorough analysis via reviews, news, and discussion of topics in gaming. We take context seriously, we value your time, and we're not into hype. Just because games are fun doesn't mean we can't take them seriously, and just because we take them seriously doesn't mean we can't have fun.
