The Gaming Moguls The Gaming Moguls

Sobhi and Mark head off for the First Minnesota Muster - a weekend of heavy games, war games and train games and live to tell the tale.. but not all the games could say as much. We also discuss a new favorite of the group - Praga Caput Regni. Finally - we introduce a new recurring segment called "What Makes This Game Great" - in which we write a love letter to Brass.

The Gaming Moguls add a new co-host to the mix - Sobhi Youssef! We introduce Sobhi, talk about what we've been playing - then talk about games where the theme is clearly reflected in the mechanisms.

Time again for that annual look back at Mark's best-of-the-best. It's probably the most pure list ever - since very few "new hotness" games were played in 2022. Where does Age of Steam land this year? Did Ark Nova crack the list? Is it once again all Uwe Rosenberg?

Our favorite time of year is when we review our top 20 games of the year to see how our tastes evolve over the year. We count 'em down from 20 to 1 and talk about the ones that almost made the list. To nobody's surprise - Jake likes the trains and Tom Lehmann - and there are plenty of those on the list. What's #1 - and are you Team Jake?

Jake and Mark review a cabin gaming weekend and ponder why some cooperative games - especially some very highly rated cooperative games - leave such an emptiness after playing. They revisit Ark Nova with some additional thoughts after more plays, and talk about games that scare us.

We're Back! After a lovely extended summer break - the Gaming Moguls rip into Season Two. We spend the episode catching up on the best games that we've played since the last episode and our favorites of the year so far. We also compare and contrast a group of four heavy hour-long games (Shinkansen Zero Kei, Bear Raid, Furnace and Nusfjord)
