Description

Heraclitus, an ancient Greek philosopher, claimed that you never step in the same river twice; for it is not the same river and you are not the same person. Such as it is with games! They are reprinted and thus reborn, all along some blurred spectrum of redesign spanning from carbon copy all the way to entirely new design.Let us not forget Heraclitus' student Cratylus, who evidently thought Heraclitus some kind of squish, insofar as he is credited with countering that you cannot step into the same river once.01:25 AYURIS: Perseverance: Castaway Chronicles Episodes 1 & 2 (Richard Amann, Thomas Vande Ginste, Viktor Peter, Wolf Plancke, & Dávid Turczi, Mindclash Games, 2022)Games Played Last Week:03:32 -Rats of Wistar (Simone Luciani and Danilo Sabia, Cranio Creations, 2023)09:15 -Voidfall (Nigel Buckle & Dávid Turczi, Mindclash Games, 2023)11:00 -Faiyum: Privileges (Friedemann Friese, 2F-Spiele, 2023)15:04 -Horizon Wars: Midnight Dark (Robey Jenkins, Precinct Omega Publishing, 2023)22:52 -Burned (Jon Moffat, Stone Circle Games, Unpublished)26:36 -My Island (Reiner Knizia, KOSMOS, 2023)30:40 -Trick Shot (Second Edition) (Artyom Nichipurov, Wolff Designa, 2023)35:05 -Napoleon's Conquests (Bruno Lamotte, Fellowship of Simulations, 2023)42:47 -Splendor Duel (Marc André and Bruno Cathala, Space Cowboys, 2022)43:42 -Federation (Dimitri Perrier and Matthieu Verdier, Explor8, 2022)News (and why it doesn't matter):47:23 War Story: Occupied France; narrative game by David Thompson, Dave Neale, and Osprey Games49:02 Keyside: Richard Breese and 49:37 Turing Machine on Boardgamearena and designer's notes on BGG50:49 Terra Pyramides by Kiesling & Kramer51:06 Moby Trick51:25 Halo miniatures game by Mantic Games52:02 Gaia Project Expansion announced, again 52:49 RIP Bryan Ansell, co-founder of Games Workshop54:05 Topic: Out of Print Games RevisitedAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

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.
