Three gamers walk into a bar. So what do they play? We discuss three player boardgames: which ones are good, and what makes them work. Plus, a quick historical overview of Eastern Front wargames. Which is a history of history, really. (c) 2012 Tom Grant

So Many Games - So Little Time - So Start Playing!

Today is Superbowl Sunday, and Team Ludology is tackling sports boardgames with guests Cody Jones and John Richard from Game On with Cody & John.  Are there game design challenges particular to sports games? What has worked and what doesn't? And what do we want to see more of?  All your questions will be answered in this action packed episode! (Well, not really, but some questions and a bit of action).

It is not Night Part 2. It is a sad, sad, day. Jeff has been called into work on the night we are scheduled to record Episode 62, and Dave is faced with a difficult decision. Should he wait to record with Jeff, or carry on, at the risk of producing a rather boring show? Dave has chosen (maybe unwisely) to forge ahead on his own. This very episode is the result of that decision. On the plus side, this episode does bring you a look at the Allied Minor AFV cards from Fanatic Enterprises (out of print but available from Alex Key), and a one sided Movie Review of Von Ryan's Express. Many listener's will enjoy the song Houlie Dice. There is a nice Starshell Tutorial that can teach you about those bright things in the night sky. Though you haven't heard the starshell rules explained in Night Part 2 yet, you will still find the tutorial informative. Dave also discusses the PAASL Club and hopes you will be encouraged to start your own.

Recent Good Old Games releases have gotten Rob thinking about what he wants to rescue from the past (besides Troy, that is). Julian doesn't think the distant past is the big problem, it's the games of the late 90s and early 2000s. Everyone agrees the LucasArts situation is a disgrace. Troy says Alpha Centauri doesn't hold up all that well, and is swiftly nerve-stapled and loaded into the Punishment Sphere.

There’s three excellent guests on this latest episode of The Little Metal Dog Show!

Lorien Green had a crazy idea. She decided she wanted to produce a film documentary on the board game industry. She begged her family for a video camera for Christmas, and then, without any formal training, set off on a 3 year adventure to document the board game industry. Lorien sits down with The Game Whisperer and talks about this journey. What prompted her to do it. How she paid for it, and how the $15,000 she raised on Kickstarter made it possible for her to bring the project to a new level.

Geoff Engelstein joins the D6G crew as our third chair. Geoff has contributed the GameTek segment to The Dice Tower podcast for five years, and co-hosts the new podcast Ludology, with Ryan Sturm.  Along with his son Brian he designed The Ares Project, released in 2011 by Z-Man Games.  Geoff has been involved in the gaming hobby for close to 40 years, and considers himself an 'omni-gamer', enjoying wargames, euros, RPGs, miniatures, and everything game-related.
This episode we check out the new 4x space conquest game Eclipse. What does it bring new to the genre? But up first: We ask Geoff to round up his son Brian and we discuss all the trials, challenges and rewards of designinga game.  What did it take to get their game "The Ares Project" to store shelves?
