Podcast Gus&Co⏳ Stonemaier Games : Trump relâche la pression… mais pas la corde.Dans cet épisode, on se concentre sur les 90 jours de pause tarifaire décidés par l’administration américaine dans sa guerre commerciale contre la Chine — et ce que cela change (ou pas) pour les éditeurs de jeux. Une taxe qui chute de 145 % à 30 % , c’est une bonne nouvelle… enfin presque. Car si cette trêve permet de débloquer des stocks bloqués en Chine, elle reste insuffisante pour sauver les petits éditeurs . Comme le souligne Isaac Childres de Cephalofair Games, ce n’est qu’un « strict minimum » pour éviter l’effondrement total. 🎙️ On vous explique pourquoi ces 90 jo...

Going Analog PodcastThe Gloomhaven universe, state of crowdfunding, “dry” Euros (guest: Isaac Childres)Maybe you've heard of that hefty game called Gloomhaven, the #1 game on BoardGameGeek for over 5 years.

We're not sure how their designer, Isaac Childres, had time to chat with Going Analog, but we weren't going to pass up the opportunity. We pick his brain on all the -havens, his upcoming plans for the franchise, modern-day crowdfunding, and his love for "dry Euros." Timeline: 4:03 - Shoe's game pick: Familiar Tales. 7:22 - Isaac's game pick: Gaia Project. 13:00 - Christina's game pick: nana. 15:12 - Shoe's topic: the growi...

So Very Wrong About Games#235: Games, Games, GAMESWe apologize for the all-caps implied yelling, but really, given this volume we had to have a corresponding... uh, volume. The puns are also somewhat fishy--but those you can feel free to skip, jack. The nautical theme doesn't end with fishing, as the recent Crash Octopus (when compared with older titles that are comparatively crusty) shone. More specifically given that it's about an octopus and we want to minimize the yelling, it's a safe, low pod. Wait, no, that's the wrong family. If you wanna shop in latin... you mall, usque?I'll see myself out. 1:04...

So Very Wrong About Games#233: HeroscapeWe apologize for the poor quality of Mark's half of the audio this week. We offer two possible explanations. One is that Walker, motivated as he is by spite and malice, engaged in an elaborate act of sabotage so as to undermine Mark in public. The other is that Mark (the editor, mind you) messed up the audio settings. I agree that the latter is too improbable, too conspiratorial, to take seriously--but we include it for the sake of comprehensiveness.

Seit Jahren die unangefochtene Nummer 1 auf BGG und vom schieren Umfang des Spiels auch sicherlich eine Ausnahmeerscheinung.

So Very Wrong About Games#53: Gloomhaven and What Can a Game Demand?We take endorsements very seriously here at SVWAG. The Ferragamo deal fell through after Walker was seen wearing Fendi, and the whole Burberry fiasco is better left forgotten. Converse was our backup, but suffice to say after Mark's public comments about sportsball that seems like a distant possibility at best.All that said, we endorse Gloomy Companion unreservedly. We don't resort to apps very often, but we don't Gloomhaven without Gloomy Companion employed on a tablet. We've tried others but it suits us the best.Games Played Last Week: -Mombasa 3m14s (Alexander Pfister, eggertspiele, 2015)...

Funding the DreamEP 270 Gloomhaven with Isaac ChildresGloomhaven is one of the most success board game projects on Kickstarter. The creator, Isaac Childres, joins me for a second time on the show.

We also discuss some of the unhappy people out there who may not like what they are seeing.

The Who, What, Why? Game Design PodcastWho, What, Why? S16.E04 :: This Game is Truly EpicIsaac Childres designed Gloomhaven to capture the feel of a role-playing game and a dungeon crawler.

Gloomhaven incorporates a campaign, character levels, and an intricate card system that can be difficult to grok but rewarding once learned. One to four adventurers travel the land seeking out fame and glory while upgrading their characters and turning their 10 (or so) card deck into something that feels satisfying as they slash through d...
