1P 332 - Bullet ♥︎
This week Julius and I talk about Bullet ♥︎ and, really, Bullet ★. These games are in the style of Bullet Hell video games were bullets are flying all over the place in overwhelming quantities. It's a really fast playing simultaneous play game with a timer. Julius find the timer optional and I appreciate that because it makes the game sound more fun to me.

1P 331 - Red Cathedral
This week's episode I tell Julius all about the game Red Cathedral, in which you are tasked with helping to build St. Basil's Cathedral in Russia. It's an interesting game with beautiful artwork and a very simple AI for the solo gamer. Fortunately, I did most of the talking this week. Julius's audio was a bit garbled and I was unable to clean it up.

This week Julius and I look at Mathy and try to figure out if the subject adds up for us. We had some conversations I thought were interesting in what makes or doesn't make a mathy game while presenting six different examples.

1P 328 - Flamecraft
This week Julius and I talk about Flamecraft, a fun worker placement-ish game of running around being a good dragon. It is actually worker placement but for me it felt more like running around doing errands than like placing workers.

1P 327 - Cyberion
This week Julius and I look at Cyberion, the latest Oniverse game my Shadi Torbey. It's a cool game about fighting the Devious Cog whose trying to destroy your factory. We really like the Oniverse and send almost an hour discussing this game!
