Strange Games Festival, Big Walk, and Spider-Man: Brand New Day - Ep255 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Are you ready to head to the woods? We hope so, because that’s what we’re off to in this latest episode of our silly little podcast about games and movies and that. We’re joined by special guest Rob Trounce from Zatu, who tells us all about Strange Games Festival, including an incredible-sounding game of Werewolf in the Dark from Alan Gerding and Andy Patton. There’s also much chat about import darling Create Camp from Sky Huang via Travel-Games and Richard Garfield and Christian Kudahl’s draft
The Ticket Booth, Dungeon Clawler, and Galdor's Grip - Ep254 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Surely Big Potato’s most popular game, The Chameleon is the perfect entry for new board gamers, but also for big groups in a more casual, lighthearted setting. While on the other side of the spectrum, Gregg Jewell’s latest, Galdor’s Grip, is unlike anything you’ve ever played: it’s an ultra indie solo game of deck manipulation, it’s pay what you want and print and play, and you don’t need a table to run it (which is fine, because we cannot put it down). The Ticket Booth from Grandpa Beck’s Games
The Odyssey, Rattlesnake, and MR FARMBOY - Ep253 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nolan’s latest masterpiece is an epic subject of conversation on this episode, in which we ask the big questions. Is it okay to compare the film to the poem/book? Are you really watching the movie if you’re not at an IMAX? Rattlesnake is an all out slugfest in the Wild West, from Michael Hardacre, Roland MacDonald, and Osprey Games, and it’s the sort of chaos we love. Plus mrdboy brings us MR FARMBOY, a game that looks like an equally pleasant spin on Stardew Valley, but is actually all about au
Star Trek: Captain's Chair - To Boldly Go, Shrinking, and Richard Simpson from the We're Not Wizards Podcast - Ep252 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you need cheering up, then Shrinking, an Apple TV series about coming to terms with loss and grief is, surprisingly, a very good choice. Meanwhile Star Trek: Captain’s Chair - To Boldly Go is an expandalone deckbuilder from WizKids in which you explore the galaxy, with a friend or solo, in the name of the Federation. And finally, a deep dive into the world of official and knock off Transformers toys. All that, and the sound of running water, on Ep252.
LEGO Batman: Legacy of The Dark Knight, Unstoppable, and The Boroughs - Ep251 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Take the humour and playfulness of the LEGO games, mix it with the depth and (much of) the gameplay of the Arkham games, all while covering a fascinating mix of The Batman’s history - both fictional and aesthetic - and you’ve got Traveller’s Tales’ LEGO Batman: Legacy of The Dark Knight, which we dive into on this episode. Then we’re looking at Unstoppable, which is bringing solo and co-op play to the tabletop via Renegade Game Studios. Rulebook aside, this is a surprising and very enjoyable dec
