Episode 113: Trust is Good, Area Control is Better

### Description

Area control is the first subject of our new recurring feature, "What we love, what we hate", where we deep dive into a single mechanic and describe ... well, exactly that! We tend to enjoy games that have you fighting over territory, but what is it that specifically gets us excited about them? And what are the downsides? Before we assume direct control, we talk about The Crew: The Quest for Planet Nine, Stay Cool, and Mezo.

Episode 93: Tap Tap, No Take-Backs

### Description

Blue Tank's back to talk take-backs, so take that to the bank. It's bound to happen, someone makes a mistake on their turn and desperately wants a do-over - but how do you handle it? It's a delicate balance of making sure everyone at the table is having a good time, and not slowing the game down. So what's fair?? Before we undo, we talk about Air, Land & Sea, Menara, and Seasons of Inis.

Episode 134: CHAOS!

### Description

Some board games (and board game podcasts) thrive on chaos, which absolutely isn't the same thing as randomness. All of this has happened for a reason, it's just ... hard to tell what those reasons are exactly. Before we blame the butterfly, we talk about Path of Light and Shadow, Jixia Academy, and Chaos in the Old World.

Episode 37: Origin Story

### Description

How do you meet other board game enthusiasts? Just loving and owning board games isn't enough if you don't have anyone to play them with! It's not always easy to turn your friends into board gamers, so what are your other options? Well, sit back, as we cast our minds far, far back into the past, when the Board Game Barrage trio was just three separate unos. This is where it all began. Before we gather round the campfire, we talk about Crypt, Fool's Gold, and War Chest.

Episode 11: Heavy is the Head that Wears the Crown

### Description

Why is everything so heavy? Well, we all played Dominant Species together, and so we're in a heavy sort of mood. There's a very vocal subset of the community that'll insist a game isn't worth playing unless it's mechanics are punching above a certain weight. But, surely there's room in a collection for the light games, the easy games, the so-called gateway games? We hash it out, but before we get into Dominant Species and games of its ilk, we revisit Codenames, Pictomania, Clank! and take a first look at The 7th Continent.

Episode 136: H-h-h-hot Hot Hot

### Description

Hot days call for hot questions! To counter the California heat wave, we get breezy with a round of hot questions. We take a long hard look at games we love, but don't play, and give our takes on the theme to end all themes. Before we get heated, we talk about Ctrl, New York Zoo, and Renature.

Snips and Snails

**Snips and Snails** are recurring characters in *My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic*. They appeared in every season so far and they are shown as two unintelligent trouble making unicorn colts. Their human counterparts serve as the secondary antagonists of *Equestria Girls*. They are Sunset Shimmer's henchmen.

## Powers/Skills

Surprising strength

Magic (pony form)

Flight (demon form)

## Abilities

It is explained in the *IDW* comics that Snips is excellent at cutting all things, which also explain his cutie mark. Snails is the only unicorn kid who's been shown using magic and can chomp half of cake with a single bite. They are surprisingly really strong: Snails can buck Snips pretty far in *Ponyville Confidential* and they are shown to be strong enough to pull a *wheel-less* cart with Trixie on it and a lot of heavy luggage. They're also sneaky and fast enough to escape an ursa minor. They also both go into the Everfree Forest at night. Given how the mane six are shown to be scared of that place, day or night, that's pretty brave. In their case, it's more like fool than brave.

Episode 96: The House of Bounce

### Description

Uh oh, you're not enjoying the game you're playing. Now what? Is it okay to excuse yourself? Maybe it's better that you just call it rather than continue to have a bad time. This week we're talking about scenarios where some or all of the players of a game might decide it's better to bounce than to wallow in misery. Before we make an early exit, we talk about SEAL Team Flix, Paranormal Detectives, and I'm the Boss.

Episode 59: Ain't Nothing Like It

### Description

Some games offer an experience so unique, so unlike anything else, that you can't help but take notice. It might be a bold thematic setting, or a set of mechanics that you've never seen before. This week, we're counting down our favourite games that do something ... a little bit different. Before we stand out from the crowd, we also talk about Looting London, and Chimera.

Mark Rosewater, head designer for Magic: The Gathering, defined three player archetypes back in 2002, and we figured it'd be fun to see how we can apply them to, not just board games, but your three beloved hosts.

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.

Episode 67: Shelf Life

### Description

We're well into May, so it's about time we did some spring cleaning. We talk about the games that have recently left our collection, and why it was their time to go. It's not always an easy thing, but I'm sure they're being loved by someone else on a farm upstate. Before we out with the old, we talk about Space Base: The Emergence of Shy Pluto, Hyperborea, and Clockwork Wars.

Episode 57: Where There's a Will, There's a Gateway

### Description

Gateway games are an often requested topic, but we wouldn't be us without a big old debate about them first. Are they important? Should you be trying to convert your friends at all? Isn't every game a gateway game if you just talk slowly enough? Before we raise the portcullis, we also talk about Targi, and Catan.

Episode 89: Classified Information

### Description

Inspired by BoardGameGeek's new system for classifying board game mechanisms, we give our thoughts on the changes, as well as talk about classification in general. Somehow it always leads to heated discussions, whether it's arguing what a Civilization game even is, or why we need classification at all. I'm sure we'll all agree in the end. Before we taxi into taxonomy, we talk about Piepmatz, Era: Medieval Age, and Cursed Court.

Episode 109: Harshing My Buzz

### Description

We're gluttons for punishment this week, because we're talking about harshness in board games. These are the sort of games where big moves or bad mistakes can be hard to recover from. Harsh games aren't for everyone, so when and why do we find them appealing? Before we grit our teeth, we talk about Wavelength, Genoa, Krass Kariert, and Oceans.

### Description

You don't need no education, but you're getting one anyway.

Shen's Wolf Army

**Shen's wolf army** are the supporting antagonists in *Kung Fu Panda 2*. As their name suggests, they are a pack of wolves that serve in Lord Shen's army, and are led by Boss Wolf, the pack's military strategist and loyal servant of Shen.

History

Shen ordered his newly-formed army to attack the Panda Village to avert the prophecy that "a warrior of black and white" would someday defeat him. When Shen was banished by his parents for the heinous crime, the pack and their leader were banished along with him.

Once the wolves and gorillas had completed Shen's cannon, they joined him in returning to Gongmen City. After a fight which ended with Master Thundering Rhino being killed by Shen's cannon, the wolves ended up imprisoning Masters Storming Ox and Croc.

When Po and the Furious Five arrived in Gongmen City after learning what happened to Master Thundering Rhino, they ended up running into the wolf army and fought them until their capture.

In the climax of the battle, Boss Wolf was killed when he tried to turn against Shen. Most of the wolves and gorillas were killed when Shen's vessel exploded while a few escaped to an unknown fate.

Episode 64: Are Games Even Fun?

### Description

We're being serious. Are board games a base line level of fun that we ought to take for granted? We're all together, we're all playing a game, that's better than doing nothing, right? It couldn't possibly be that simple with us. Before we arithmetise entertainment, we also talk about Tiny Towns, Zendo, and Escape Plan.

### Description

Things got a bit heavy last week, so let's take things down a notch by exploring the other end of the scale. Light games are just as important for a board game collection, after all. We discuss what light games offer that heavier games don't, and mention some of our recent favourites. Before we lighten the mood, we talk about Reef, Clans of Caledonia, and Tutankhamun.

Pillar

* Full
* Half
* Partial
* None

Pillars only appear on dungeon ? (16) and act as a trigger for the ending. Attacking the pillar will remove some of the corruption from the pillar. Each pillar starts completely corrupted and requires 3 turns (attacks) to completely remove the corruption. Whenever a pillar is fully unconvered the pillar in the middle will lower down. When all 4 of the pillars are completely uncovered and the pillar in the middle is fully lowered, all the cards in the dungeon disappear and the ending sequence begins.
Episode 43: My Triumphs, My Mistakes

### Description

We're getting introspective this week, weighing up the mistakes we've made in our collections, and reflecting on our earlier selves. Would you reset your board game collection? What games might you not buy if you had to do it all over again? Before we turn back time, we also talk about Between Two Castles Of Mad King Ludwig, Claustrophobia, and KeyForge: Call of the Archons.

Episode 92: Chasing the MacGuffin

### Description

We're joined by the Blue Tank for a quick look back at SHUX, before we dive into a discussion on games that are better than their mechanics suggest. These are games that we might describe as not very good, but somehow still give us incredible experiences that we find distinct and unique. But that makes them good, right? Before we lose all credibility, we talk about Kingdomino Duel, Panic on Wall Street!, and Blood on the Clocktower.

### Description

Look, digital gaming is great and all, but there are some games that either don't lend themselves well to the format, or aren't available.

Before our heart grows fonder, we talk about Exit: The Game - Sunken Treasure, Pandemic: Rapid Response, and Stockpile.

### Description

It's time for another "What we love, what we hate", and this time we're looking at deck builders!

We look at the highs and lows of deck building as a mechanic, and discuss some of our favourite games that use it. We also talk about Bruxelles 1897, Elysium, and Can't Stop.

We're running components through our fingers this week, because we're ranking our favourite games that require dexterity.

Glass Shield

The Glass Shield is a Common-tier item that is equipped in the Off-Hand slot.

## Strategy

True to its name, the Glass Shield offers a hefty  Attack boost in the early game; but the trade-off of the player's  Defense and  Max Health is significant. Be sure you can win fights in a single blow or make up the lost defensiveness if you choose to take this.
Episode 33: You Can't Win 'Em All

### Description

Look, sometimes we lose games. I know. It's weird. It's hard to talk about, to be frank, but it's important to realize that your heroes can have flaws. So, this week, we're counting down our top five games we're bad at! Before we admit defeat, we also discuss Yogi, Orleans, and Blue Lagoon.

Episode 110: One Small Thing

### Description

Apologies for those who previously downloaded this file and didn't hear any audio. As some already guessed, Mark found a "great" trade involving our audio equipment for a rare copy of Biblios, but we thankfully were able to get it called off.Sometimes a game is hitting all the right notes, and you want to recommend it wholeheartedly ... but there's just one tiny blemish you can't overlook. It's not enough to make a great game bad, but, man, just imagine if it someone had fixed that. This week we're looking at games that almost nail it. Before we smooth the last crease, we talk about Chaosmos, Subtext, On a Scale of One to T-Rex, and Empyreal: Spells & Steam.

Striker's Veil

The Striker's Veil is a Common-tier item that is equipped in the Head slot.

While equipped, you gain +5%  Critical Hit Chance and  Dodge Chance for every negative point of  Defense you have.

## Strategy

The Striker's Veil enables a risky set-up where by putting your Defense in the negatives grants you increased  Dodge Chance and  Critical Hit Chance. However, having a negative  Defense value means that you'll take *more* damage when struck, so be sure you have alternative means of surviving or recovering from damage.
Episode 8: Just Deserts

### Description

Trapped on a desert island and forced to bring only five board games? We've all been there. And we're going back. To the island. The board game island. It's a question as old as time itself, a favourite philosophical discussion of great minds immemorial; if you had to pare your collection down to just five board games, to play for a very long time, which would they be? Avert your eyes from the timecodes if you want to listen unspoiled, but let's just say that you might be able to guess one or two.
