The History of Deck-Building Pt II

Episode 32

jeudi 11 avril 2024Duration 25:55

Last episode we left off with having crowned Dominion the grandfather (grandmother? Grandparent? Not sure why I’m trying to gender a board game here…), okay, let’s go with the grandparent of the genre of deck building. But how did that develop? And where did we go from there? Let's continue on this adventure of exploring deck building in Part II of the Nerdstorian's Guide to Board Gaming, The History of Deck Building

Introducing a New Host!

Episode 20

lundi 22 janvier 2024Duration 42:46

New host! New host! It's time to meet a new host! Today's episode is all about getting to know a new host who will be joining the Dojo starting in February, bringing a lot of new perspectives and knowledge to the show.

 

Note: The audio quality of the new software was very poor, sounding like we recorded using a microwave in a tunnel. I apologize to everyone listening and to our new host, we will not be using that software again. -Eric

Discworld Ankh-Morpork, Paint the Roses, & Last Penguin

Episode 19

mardi 16 janvier 2024Duration 37:00

Today we are going over some games we played while visiting the UK, including the very out-of-print Discworld Ankh-Morpork, the deduction puzzle that is technically a game Paint the Roses, and, we aren't kidding you, a game that has this as the tagline on BGG "Finger the cards you want to win prizes," Last Penguin. I don't even know how to follow that....
