1P 340 - Popular Mechanics: Miniatures
This week Julius and I go out on a limb and talk about miniatures gaming. Turns out this isn't a subject we really know much about so we struggle to come up with some good examples of it. Still, I think the episode is useful if you are curious about miniatures gaming and want to find out a bit about what that is.
Also, check out the new YouTube channel for an alternate way to listen to the show.

1P 339 - Unsettled
This week Julius is back (but staying far far away from my teleporter). He talks about being lost in space in the game Unsettled in which you are exploring new planets while lost in space. It's a big big episode about a big big game!

1P 338 - Sentinels of the Multiverse & Cauldron
This week Julius and I return to talk, yet again, about Sentinels of the Multiverse. This time we change things up a bit and talk about new content. First, we talk about the Cauldron expansion for the original editions. Then we talk about the Definitive Edition and our thoughts on that.

1P 337 - Star Trek Captain's Log
This week I'm talking about another solo RPG. It's Star Trek Captain's Log by Modiphius Games. Due to some technical issues, I ended up recording alone. Hopefully any problems are resolved before the next recording. Sorry Julius!
This is an interesting game in which you create a character to tell stories that feel like an episode of any one of the TV series. It's a versatile system that is worth checking out if you are a Star Trek fan. Just be ready for a bit of a struggle to find the fine. -
1P 336 - Expedition to Newdale
This week Julius is out so I have a special guest. A podcast listener, ChrisOkay, comes on the show to talk me into playing Expedition to Newdale. The game will eventually get played by me but that is probably years away. Technically, I did play it a couple of times when I first got it... one solo and one with my son. Chris thinks I should play it sooner and really get it on the table. So, he tells me all about the game. I have to admit, it sure sounds fun!
Newdale is actually the 3rd game in the Longsdale series but only the 2nd soloable game. I have the other game in the series, Tybor the Builder and have yet to play that either :|

Oh My Goods! Big Box (BGG)

Here's the cards I mentioned in the show. You can follow the path from the next game I'll be talking about (Star Trek Captain's Log) all the way down to Newdale, a lifetime away! -
1P 335 - Popular Mechanics: Set Collection
This week Julius and I discuss set collection solo games. We each bring three games that we think include set collection in the mechanics and are interesting solo games. Just a footnote here... I am right about Agricola. The first set of three sheep gets you a point. After that, every set of two sheep gets you a point! If you disagree, just let me know.
08:15 Onirim
11:00 Pandemic: The Cure
13:25 Agricola
19:00 Isle of Cats
23:22 PAX
26:00 So You've Been Eaten
