  • #337: Fellowship of the Ring: Trick-Taking Game
    When you are obliged to cite your sources is a fraught question, full of nuance. Even in academia there is some disagreement as to when yo quote, when to paraphrase, and when simply to assume common knowledge. Like the preceding sentence, for example--I assume it is common knowledge not requiring a citation, but then again maybe not, and were I using footnotes here I would comment on the absurdity of citations in episode notes (to say nothing of footnoting episode notes). And don't get me started on ibid, supra, and all their blighted ilk! Safer, I think, just not to ever read anything, and thus one's incoherent nonsense is indisputably one's own.Games Played Last Week:01:20 -Versailles 1919 (Geoff Engelstein & Mark Herman, GMT Games, 2020)12:33 -Mass Effect: The Board Game - Priority: Hagalaz (Eric M.

  • #336: Opening the Box Downers
    Apparently there were scrapped plans for the Gorn (the lumbering rubber lizard suit dude Kirk fights in that famous episode) to show up in other Star Trek properties. One plan had a Gorn show up as Worf's guest to Riker's bachelor party in Nemesis, and frankly despite how awful those latter movies were I would have been all over that. I can only imagine that the plan was abandoned when the props department couldn't get a styrofoam cocktail to look right.01:42 AYURIS: The Wolves (Ashwain Kamath and Clarence Simpson, Pandasaurus Games, 2022)Games Played Last Week:03:49 -Tidal Blades 2: Rise of the Unfolders (Tim Eisner and Ben Eisner, Druid City Games, 2024)10:28 -Mass Effect: The Board Game - Priority: Hagalaz (Eric M.

  • #335: Catching Up
    Thrill to the latest superhero epic, "X-Men: Layover in Dulles." When the Blackbird is grounded due to an unexplained indicator light (meddling from the sinister Magneto? Who can say?!?!), the elite group of heroic mutants must navigate the perils of terminal D. Wolverine is having problems with the metal detectors again, which is troublesome as he is smuggling Cuban cigars. Rogue must battle the temptation of the 15-minute massage station. Panera bread keeps getting Cyclops' order wrong. It's epic, it's exciting, it's eight hours long!01:42 AYURIS: The Great Wall (Kamil 'Sanex' Cieśla, Robert Plesowicz, & Łukasz Włodarczyk, Awaken Realms, 2021)Games Played Last Week:04:43 -Don't Rock the Croc (Uncredited, FoxMind, Unknown)07:52 -War Story: Occupied France (Dave Neale and David Thompson, Osprey Games, 2024)13:20 -Barcelona: Passeig de Gràcia (Dani Garcia, Board&Dice, 2024)20:27 -Mass Effect: The Board Game - Priority: Hagalaz (Eric M.

  • #333: Expectations in Crowdfunding
    An auspicious palindrome of an episode number! Granted, in triple digits one encounters a palindrome every ten episodes or so, but I'm sure the numerologists amongst us have special enthusiasm for the mighty TRIP THREE. I mean, primes, and threes, and all that. Anyway, it'll be a minute until we reach episode TRIP FOUR, so let's savour this while we can.01:10 AYURIS: Mille Fiori (Reiner Knizia, Schmidt Spiele, 2021)Games Played Last Week:04:06 -Lunar Rush (Steven "Skippy" Brown, Dead Alive Games, 2023)08:53 -Dragons Down (Scott DeMers, Mr. B Games, 2024)16:20 -Things in Rings (Peter C.
