Description

Let us, following in Andy Schwarz's example, highlight the fine work of Nancy Skinner, a California state senator whose "Fair Pay to Play Act" granted college athletes in California the right to profit from their name, image, and likeness. This forced the NCAA to allow such changes more broadly.It hasn't been perfect, but let's acknowledge one thing: if someone's gonna be making millions off your name and face, maybe--just maybe!--you should be able to get a cut. Games Played Last Week:01:43 -AQUA : Biodiversity in the Oceans (Dan Halstad and Tristan Halstad, Sidekick Games, 2024)06:24 -Imperium: Horizons (Nigel Buckle and Dávid Turczi, Osprey Games, 2024)13:40 -World Wonders (Zé Mendes, Arcane Wonders, 2023)19:33 -MLEM: Space Agency (Reiner Knizia, Rebel Studio, 2024)24:14 -Maskmen (Jun Sasaki and Taiki Shinzawa, Oink Games, 2014)28:27 -The Barracks Emperors (Wray Ferrell and Brad Johnson, GMT Games, 2023)32:17 -Tokyo Highway: Rainbow City (Naotaka Shimamoto and Yoshiaki Tomioka, itten, 2023)37:14 -Vengeance (Gordon Calleja, Mighty Boards, 2018)40:03 -Charioteer (Matt Calkins, GMT Games, 2022)News (and why it doesn't matter):44:29 "Wednesdays with Walker"--streaming on Twitch45:05 Unpublished Flickateers by Trevor Benjamin and David Thompson45:55 Storm Raiders by Shem Phillips46:48 Voidfall Solo Online by Mark Hutchinson! https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/3222419/play-voidfall-solo-online-fan-made-app47:59 Feature Game: Envelopes of Cash (Andy Schwarz, Envelopes of Cash LLC, 2023)Our Sponsors:* Check out Manscaped and use my code SOWRONGGAMES for a great deal: https://www.manscaped.com/Advertising 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.
