Board Chitless - Board Gaming Podcast Aleksis WIlliams

Sam, Daz, Tristan and Leki nurture budding civilisations into thriving city states and play a little town planning Sudoku on the side playing Jamey Steigmaier's latest offering; Tapestry.

Tristan and Leki speak to Sam Illingworth and Paul Wake about their game Carbon City Zero; a deck builder which sees mayors of rival cities race to be the first carbon neutral city.

Sam and Paul have been working with 10:10 Climate Action to produce a game that engages players with the concept of what being a carbon zero city means.

Check out Carbon City Zero on Kickstarter.

This week Tristan, Leki, Daz and Sam get together to play The Ancient World and Call to Adventure but talk about them in the opposite order.

Call to Adventure is a card based fantasy game from Johnny O'Neale and Christopher O'Neale that challenges each player to evolve a character by completing several challenges and each challenge succeeds or fails by rolling runes.

The Ancient World is a worker placement/civ builder game from veteran games designer and illustrator extraordinaire Ryan Laukat. Each player must build up a civilisation under the constant threat of attack from mythical Titans who are poised to destroy all that you've built. We played the 1st edition game with the 2nd edition component upgrade. Does this mean we played the 2nd edition game? We think so.

Have you raised a banner for The Ancient World 2nd edition or are you a 1st edition connoisseur? Let us know your thoughts by posting on the BoardChitless Facebook group:
