I've been busy busy busy lately so in this episode I find time to talk about games I may talk about some day. Then, I look closely at In Magnificent Style by Hermann Luttmann and published by Victory Point Games. This is a neat little game about the Pickett's Charge during the Battle of Gettysburg in the American Civil War. The game recreates this hopeless charge in a very entertaining way.

All aboard! This episode I attempt to look at solo friendly train games. I don't get very in depth into that but I do reminisce about old video games. I go into more detail about Silverton. It's a game I really like because of the history and gameplay.

This is the post vacation episode so I don't talk about much more than just this show's game. That game is Infection by John Gibson. I interviewed John a few months ago and we talked about this game which was still in beta testing. The game has since been published and is now available. Actually, today is it's 2 month anniversary. Happy game anniversary John. I also briefly talk about my vacation and have a suggestion for travelling with games.

I finally get around to reviewing Onirim's younger brother, Urbion, aka Equilibrion. The game is similar in style and simplicity, however it does have it's own distinct feel. Does the game hold up to it's legacy? It does for me.

In this game I look at mountain climbing. There are two games on the subject and I review the smaller sized one... Disaster on K2 by Tom Decker. As may is a crazy month, this is about all I look at. I do, however, give a brief "explanation" of the event that set the theme behind this game in which 11 climbers died on K2 in a single day.

I'm really excited by this episode. I've been wanting to talk about dungeon crawlers for the longest time. Not only that, but I even review a game appropriately named Dungeon Crawler. This is a ECG (expandable card game) in which to take a team of characters into a dungeon. I also give a broad general look at dungeon crawling. Oh, make sure to pay attention to the small contest. Note that one game I mentioned in the news, Once Upon a Fable, no longer seems to exist on Kickstarter. Sorry about that.
