    126 Devon Dice Podcast, May board game News Show

    Joel and Nick bring you a long overdue podcast with sad news, controversial news, and outstanding news, plus Crowdfunding projects, played games, and a little rant from Joel. Episode 126 Sorry for the massive gap between podcasts. New podcast feed host Joel and Claire’s trip to London and Draughts board game café Tucana Builders News Meeples Corner, the lovely FLGS in Crediton, is to close at the end of the month. Wonders of the First, a CCG on Kickstarter using all-AI-art, is made to cancel (by Kickstarter themselves) because of using NFTs. Controversy hits the game Puerto Rico yet again, as Jason Perez, who rethemed the game for its “1897” release to remove cultural insensitivity, has now rejected his 1897 version entirely due to how the publisher(s) – including Awaken Realms who teased a new Deluxe Edition recently but immediately got in trouble for using AI art in the teaser artwork – have treated him. Castles of Burgundy Special Edition makes £2.1m on its 2nd printing on Gamefound, with 16.5k backers. Crowdfunders Corps of Discovery – Lewis & Clark … and Monsters! The Ultimate Cooperative Deduction and Survival Game. Ends 14th May (2 days’ time!) House of Fado, a new game from Vital Lacerda. Ends 17th May Formosa Tea returns for a 2nd edition on KS.  Ends 30th May One Card Maze: Season 2 – boardgame adjacent, as this is more a puzzle than a boardgame, but it looks a lot of fun, and you can try some of the mazes online. Ends 1st June Coming Soon Lord of the Rings: Duel for Middle Earth – announced by Asmodee, as a rethemed implementation of 7 Wonders Duel.  Will be available for demo at UKGE. Black Forest, a sequel to Uwe Rosenberg’s Glass Road, is due for release this year.
