This episode of the Current Plays Podcast sees our hard working hosts Jordan and Thomas discuss Scythe (Jordan's favourite game) published by Stonemaier Games.
After a short conversation of what we've been up to instead of recording Jordan starts the gaming conversation with introducing Hadrian's Wall to his wife. He then brings up the game Ghost Blitz which he was able to get played with his family. With so many deals lately at Dollarama Jordan was able to get Ishtar: Gardens of Babylon to the table. Spring-boarding from Ishtar we touch on the amazing cube racing game Cubitos a game we will need to review soon. After Jordan makes a comment about not getting games to the table multiple times our conversation flows into Gloomhaven Digital and how despite Thomas owning the physical version for years he hasn't played it.
Thomas runs through the games he's been playing including MicroMacro: Crime City and his journey to learn Italian. Downforce, the Dollarama find, F1 racing game, Sushi Go! and getting destroyed by his daughter, and Chess, one of Thomas' guilty pleasures. He then brings up roping his work colleagues into a game of Small World Underground. While on vacation Thomas was able to get a game of Disney Villainous played with his wives family. Finally, also while on vacation, Thomas played Imperium: Classics.
With that it's time to talk about this weeks Current Play: Scythe!
