    347: Super L1Z1X Mindnet Guide

    347: Super L1Z1X Mindnet Guide

    This week we're back to our classic formula and doing a deep dive on one of our favorite aggressive factions: THE L1Z1X. This one has a fun energy and we really go to town on these guys, I wish we had more positives to say but I think spiritually L1 is too cool to be the best so let's just enjoy them for what they do best. Watch the Semi-Finals this weekend! Game 4 and 5 will be on Saturday and Sunday starting at 10AM central US time.

    344: Super Mentak Coalition Guide

    Uh oh, it looks like we've saved a lot of the "bad" factions for last which means all of these Super guides are about to get a lot more FUN. Mentak, the most autocorrected faction, is definitively COOL and NEAT, but can struggle to score points... Let us examine why!

    343: Most Anticipated Board Games 2024

    Beach episode time! This week we've taken the Galactic Council poll results and really ran with it. Instead of just hearing about what games Matt and Hunter are looking forward to we've basically asked everyone we know to submit their games. Get your pen and paper out because you about to get a big ol' list of interesting suggestions from people with excellent taste, also EJ is in there.

    342: 8 Player Games

    This week, we're tackling a much requested topic. 8 Player Games! Matt and Hunter have both done some research and are reporting on strategic differences they found in their limited experience. Lot's of talk is devoted to why we don't prefer the player count so prepare yourself.
    We've also got an excellent discussion with Tactic Blue on the upcoming Discordant Stars Twilight Imperium Homebrew Expansion that you'll definitely want to hear about.
    At the end of the episode we have some surprise guests you'll definitely want to hear from.
