    85: A song of ice and hockey (A Game of Thrones, Trick Shot Second Edition)

    Welcome to Episode 85 of The Last Standee Podcast!
    This episode is dedicated to very confused introspection, as we follow with increased worry Alessio and Cara talk at length about boardgames and bureaucracy.

    But before we get to the latter, we have an inexplicably long Standee Catch-up where we discuss the former, along with the intricacies of time loops.

    After we are done, Cara recounts her experiences with a Fen-favourite (yes, spelling is right) game of yore: A Game of Thrones, Second Edition by Fantasy Flight Games.

    Alessio follows with a new edition of a, okay still new, sports game: Trick Shot, Second Edition by Wolffdesigna.

    To put the cherry on top, this recipe for disasters is completed by having Alessio mangle the excellent Baba Yaga soundtrack by Kevin Macleod (a man who saved many podcasts with his excellent CC-licensed music) by showing an absolute disrespect for volume control.

    84: The 7th Dwarf from Outer Space (Rebel Princess, MLEM: Space Agency, The 7th Citadel)

    Hi all and welcome to episode 84 of The Last Standee Podcast!
    And not just "any" episode - this is one episode from the A-Team (Alexis, Audrey and Alessio), or how we humbly call it, a triple-A episode (no seriously, why you keep following us?).

    After a catch-up with some news from the boardgaming world, Alessio talks us about Rebel Princess, aka the Hearts variant you didn't know you needed. Then, Audrey leads a team talk about MLEM: Space Agency, the game where cats go to outer space on their own free will and besides there are CATS WITH WEIRD FACES AND A DISCUTIBLE FASHION SENSE RIGHT IN THE COVER FFS (by the way, production value is very, very good). Finally, Alexis eases up in a review and discussion about Serious Poulp's last fatigue, The 7th Citadel!

    83: The Groovy Ensemble (The Gig, Forest Shuffle, Banner Festival)

    Hi all, ready to feel the groove with us?
    After the Standee Catch-up, Fen takes on the ouverture with the Gig. Now, I would really say that the Forest Shuffle, about which Audrey talks next, is a dance move, but I guess you'll have to listen to the episode to find out. The Finale is in the capable hands of our Cara, who brings us back in the world of Tidal Waves with the Banner Festival!

    82: Egregious Edventure (Golden Bell Studio news, Cartaventura, Spots)

    Am I the only one feeling sleepy in Spring?
    Welcome to episode 82 of The Last Standee Podcast - early Spring edition!

    In this episode in the sign of egregiousness (I swear, this is not AI-generated!) we start egregiously drifting aimlessly in lazy recollections with the Standee Catch-up, at the end of which Alexis gives us an update on what is the current situation with Golden Bell Studio crowdfunding projects. Then it's time to start the Edventures with Audrey presenting Cartaventura games (that must be misspelled, it's evidently CartEventura). We finish with a lot of Dalmatians and Dalmatians-contingent (but sans Ms. De Vil, sadly) with Spots!

    81: Battling Vans (ISS Vanguard)

    81: Battling Vans (ISS Vanguard)

    Argh, we're late! Again!
    Welcome to Episode 81 of The Last Standee Podcast!

    In this episode, our three chatty hosts/speakers have a long, winded Standee Catchup, then Fen leads the talk to the main course of the episode, ISS Vanguard - one of the latest fatigues from Awaken Realms, with the ambition to narrate an epic spacefaring campaign which starts and ends (or ends and starts?) with a mystery encoded in the DNA of all lifeforms. Was this ambition successful?

    Well, you'll have to listen to the episode to find out!

    (Just sayin', a game about space rangers sworn to protect vans across the galaxy would be an instant buy...)

    80: The Peculiar Plum Peninsula Puzzle (Plum Island Horror, Doomensions, Cara's Relaxing games)

    At long last, episode 80!
    It always feels nice when we get to complete tens of episodes, doesn't it?

    Anyway (anyho), this episode begins with the usual catch-up, then we have Fen presenting The Plum Island Horror. Unsettling mysteries continue with Alexis talking about Pop-up Mystery Manor, until we can finally rest and relax with Cara, presenting us her list of relaxing games - Namiji, Tranquility and In Dreams (Cara reviews woo-hoo!)

Mortaliber ,

FINALLY!

I listen to a lot of board game centric podcasts. There’s a lot of great ones out there. As it is I’m generally running 1-2 weeks behind the release date of podcasts as I listen to them because of how many I’ve subscribed to.

So with that in mind it’s pretty difficult for me to justify jumping into another podcast and especially on episode #1. But when I heard Alessio, who I’ve seen quite a bit in the Kingdom Death forums on BGG, was going to be starting a podcast along with several other hosts I figured I’d give it a shot. After all, Alessio has been a beacon of knowledge in the forums and I thought they all might have some interesting and/or useful tidbits of information.

Well I just have to say FINALLY we have a group of people who are able to discuss KDM in a grounded and reasonable way, recognizing it for its glorious highs while also discussing its faults. And somehow they manage to do this without falling into the trap of hyperbole.

Thanks to the entire podcast crew! Can’t wait for episode 2!
