Draft Mechanic Episode #119: In the Hall of the Mountain King, Lions of Lydia KS preview, Zoned Out, Felix the Cat in the Sack, Mosaic Hops, House Rules Hello again! In this new era of staying at home, why not make that home in a mountain? We’re excavating a mountain cave in our feature review today with In the Hall of the Mountain King. It’s the formation of economy in Lions of Lydia, building a city in Zoned Out, and Felix the Cat in the Sack is also in this sentence. No pun there, sorry. Danielle discusses Mosaic hops, and Jake asked the slack about House Rules back when we were allowed out of our houses. Wash your hands and stay home. 01:00 Show Intro, News &amp; Updates 09:21 Kickstarter Updates 10:42 Kickstarter: Lions of Lydia 11:40 Kickstarter Preview: Lions of Lydia 28:50 Recent Plays: Zoned Out! 51:37 Recent Plays: Felix the Cat in the Sack 60:38 Grey Fox Games Sponsorship Spot 61:49 Six Pack Review: In the Hall of the Mountain King 62:50 In the Hall of the Mountain King: Gameplay Overview 69:50 In the Hall of the Mountain King: Discussion 94:40 In the Hall of the Mountain King: Final Thoughts 97:44 On Tap: In the Hall of the Mountain King 101:19 Hop Primer: Mosaic 106:24 Final Round: House Rules 110:17 Next Final Round Topic 111:23 Outro We hope you enjoyed today's episode!

#115: PAX Unplugged & 2020 Convention Outlook!

Jake and Danielle talk about their latest board gaming experiences, delicious craft beer, and find any opportunity to join the two together.

Impressively dull podcast, I know board games aren’t exactly heart pumping endeavors but come on.

Snooze

Great viewpoints and original topic ideas.

My two favorite hobbies

Draft Mechanic Episode 49: Yamatai v Five Tribes; Five Tribes on tap; The Lost Expedition; TIME Stories: Lumen Fidei To be honest, we planned on doing Yamatai as a six-pack review, but the more we played it the more we realized it would be a perfect candidate for our “Variants” series, where we pit a game up against another that shares enough similarities to warrant the comparison. What’s our comparison point for Yamatai? Well, look no further than designer Bruno Cathala’s prior design for Days of Wonder, Five Tribes! Both fit that highly produced, mid-weight 2-4 player niche, but what are the benefits of each? Find out in today’s feature segment! Also, we’re putting Five Tribes on tap with beer pairings for each of the tribes. We’re also going to discuss recent plays of The Lost Expedition, Parade, and the latest TIME Stories scenario, Lumen Fidei. Don’t worry - there’s no spoilers here! In our beer segment this episode, we’ll take a look at some America-themed beers for the Independence Day holiday. So sit back, relax, grab a pint and enjoy the show!

If temples are more your thing, we’ve got a preview of Mystery of the Temples (hitting Kickstarter this week!).

Draft Mechanic Episode 44: Anachrony six-pack and on tap; Fugitive; Valeria: Card Kingdoms &amp; Veggie Garden So, buckle up for a wild temporal ride! Danielle wraps up this episode with a discussion about how beer tastes can change over time! In the news, we’ve got some new app implementations and a video game coming to board games. We’re also going to talk about some recent plays: Fugitive, Valeria: Card Kingdoms and Veggie Garden. Today, we dive in and do double duty with our six-pack review and our on-tap feature. It’s a big hefty euro that features time travel as a major mechanic - quite the headache! Though, that’s what you get when you’re reviewing a game like Anachrony. Bear with me, this is going to be a confusing one. In today’s episode, we’ve got quite the paradox!
