1P 030 - Mosby's Raiders

Welcome to the 1st episode of 2013. This show I look at the game Mosby's Raiders published by Victory Games. The game is about John Mosby and his Partisan Raiders. They waged guerrilla warfare against the North during the American Civil War. This episode I also look at my "ideal solitaire game" by picking the various attributes I think I like in a game. The episode is a bit short. It might have been longer if it wasn't for the power going out while recording. I finished in the dark.

1P 029 - Catan Dice Game

For the last episode of the year, I talk about Yahtzee-like games and specifically the Catan Dice Game. Based on the simplicity of this game, it is probably the shortest review yet. Also, yet another contest.. this one is even smaller and more complicated than the last! Happy Holidays!

1P 027 - Ambush!

Today's episode is on the classic solitaire wargame, Ambush! This is a paragraph driven wargame. As you play, you look up in a book to determine what is going on. In otherwords, this game has A LOT of information that is unknown to the player until he encounters it. I also briefly talk about preparing to play a big solo game.

1P 025 - Last Frontier: The Vesuvius Incident

In this latest episode, I review Last Frontier: The Vesuvius Incident. This is a neat game about sending space marines into a ship invested with hostile aliens. Unfortunately, the ship is falling into a planets atmosphere. Your time is limited. The goal is to get into the ship and save as many crew as possible, or at least account for the dead crew. It's a bit gruesome but fun. The game is currently on KS, if it sounds interesting check it out before the campaign ends. I also resolve the Pocast Contest #2 Last Fronter: The Vesuvius Incident on Board Game Geek and on Kickstarter.

1P 024 - Levée en Masse

1P 017 - Smokejumpers

Episode 17 is now up. It features another review about a firefighting game (hopefully not my last). In this one, I talk about Smokejumpers. It's a neat little game where your crack team of firefighters have to stop a forest fire. But, before that, I talk about randomness in a game and some the different mechanics used to handle that. Smokejumpers on BGG.

1P 016 - Raider 16-Atlantis

This is the (first) Print and Play episode. Hopefully, I'll have many more of these as I have a few other PnP games I'd like to look at. In this episode, I first talk with Crhis Hansen of the Solitaire Print and Play Design Contest being hosted on BGG. Chris talks about last years contest and winners and also about how to be involved in this years contest. There is also some talk about print and play games, in general. After that interview, I look at Raider 16-Atlantis, which was a winner from last year's contest. I talk about my experiences with putting together and then playing the game. Raider 16 - Atlantis on BGG. The files for the game are listed in this discussion. The current monthly geeklist on print and play crafting. The Print and Play guild on BGG.

Reviews by Chris, of games from last year's contest. And finally... The discussion thread for this year's contest.
