Episode 62 - Tigris and Euphrates Part One
This is a bit of a doozy. In the first part of the first two-part episode ever, Brendan and Jake spar about the merits of Tigris and Euphrates. Is this a great game? Would you recommend it to new gamers in the year 2022? And of course we talk about whether or not this game is thematic. Brendan also shares some interesting history about the Dr. Knizia's unique process of creating this game. Buckle your safety belts, because this Interdecisional Spaceship flight might be a little bumpy.
Games Discussed
Tigris and Euphrates, Chess, Underwater Cities, and more.

Episode 61 - Great Western Trail
Howdy! Today, we cover a game that, fittingly, Brendan and I have both had our own long and winding journeys with. And wouldn't you know it, it appears we hit a fork in the road and ended up in very different places. Great Western Trail is designer Alexander Pfister's biggest hit. It's a rondel building and traversing cowboy management game that currently sits at number 12 on Board Game Geek's list of greatest games of all time. As always, we shoot straight with our honest opinions, so saddle up because we ride into the decision space at dawn. Yeehaw!
Games Discussed
Great Western Trail, Praga Caput Regni, Castles of Burgundy, and more.

Episode 58 - What We Talk About When We Talk About A New Way To Talk About Objectives In Games
Holy S***! It's a new way to talk about type episode after long last. In this one, Brendan presents his new framework for describing scoring/objective systems in games. These come in three types, solitary, juxtaposed, and overlaid. We quickly go through each type and then share a ton of examples from real-life board games. Interdecisional Spaceship, take it away!
Games Discussed
Chess, Cascadia, Broom Service, Welcome To..., Cartographers, Race for the Galaxy, Babylonia, Rolling Realms, Soccer (football), American Football, and more.
