everdell

Welcome to the first episode of my podcast where I talk about a variety of interests I have! In this episode, I give an overview of what to expect from this series, discuss the differences between Stone Age and Everdell (two of my favorite board games), give my reactions to the June Nintendo Direct, provide my record predictions for the NFC North football teams and I compare Xenoblade 2 to Xenoblade 3 since they are competing for the honor of being my favorite video game of all time. As you can see, these episodes will be very diverse and broad in the topics explored so I hope at least one of them will pique your interest!

We've all got games we love but can never get to the table; maybe they're too complicated to set up or take too long to play or a certain someone doesn't really like them. Join us on this week's show as we lament on the games that never make it off the shelf but we can't bring ourselves to part with.

In JP's last run of episodes as first player he gets to chat about expansion theory, not the ever increasing debate about our expansion of the universe but the other main one which is expansions to base board games.

FIRST PLAYER: JP
OTHER PLAYERS: Tambo, Becky & Adrian

OVERVIEW
It's JP's last episode of his run before handing the first player token to Davey and it's time to talk about JP's reputation in buying expansions and exploring the various types and rationale behind them.  In this episode you'll learn:
- Adrian's first impressions of Earth which is being delivered to backers very soon (if not already)
- How not to win at Endless Winter by JP
- Is Batman Talisman just like all other Talisman games?
- Becky just loves Clank Catacombs
- What are expansions, the various types and some examples along the way
- What some of our favourite expansions are out there
- That we're going to continuously switch up our listeners question segment to try some new ideas out

We're at the table talking table talk, all the little things that get said while you're playing a board game. Sure, there's plenty to be said in a social deduction or negotiation game, but what about less talky games? What's appropriate and what isn't? Before we say something we regret, we also talk about Everdell, Concordia Venus, and Project: ELITE.

03:58 - Everdell
08:34 - Wingspan
12:07 - Concordia Venus
21:27 - Project: ELITE
25:56 - Escape: The Curse of the Temple
31:13 - Table Talk
37:01 - Codenames

Brenna is joined by James Wilson, the designer of Everdell. We discuss Kickstarter success as a first-time game designer, navigating the publishing process, and what's next for Everdell. Everdell is currently available for pre-order.
