1P 393 - So You've Been Cursed
Jan 3100:35:52Tap to summarizeThis week Julius previews So You've Been Cursed. It's a Scott Almes game that was on Kickstarter and has now been sent to backers so should be available soon. This is based on So You've Been Eaten, which we covered way back in episode 275! This is an asymentric game that can be played by 0, 1 or 2 players. You play as a wizard that has been cursed to turn into a werewolf at night; or, you play as a werewolf that is trying to make that curse permanent so he can always be a werewolf. When playing solo, you can choose whichever side you want to play an AI controls both. The game can be played against itself by having it play both sides! So You've Been Cursed (BGG)
Transcribe →1P 392 - Tend
Jan 1700:43:32Tap to summarizeI tend not to like roll and writes. I'm not sure what exactly it is but I don't seem to like the write aspect of the games, except for Yahtzee and maybe the Catan Dice Game. Fortunately, Julius is here to tell us about other roll & writes like the very large and complex Tend. Tend (BGG, IV Studio)
Transcribe →1P 391 - S.E.T.I.
Dec 1300:48:02Tap to summarizeThis week we look at a big game. S.E.T.I.: Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence is a game about trying to find alien life forms through science and exploration. The science and exploration portion is based on pretty darned real science. This is a really cool game by Tomáš Holek and published by Czech Games Edition. With simple rules, this game has a complex set of mechanics that are simple to understand because of how well the integrate with the theme. S.E.T.I. (BGG, CGE)

Transcribe →1P 388 - Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship
Nov 100:39:15Tap to summarizeThis week we look at yet another Pandemic game. This one is the Lord of the Rings themed Fate of the Fellowship. This game does an excellent job of putting the characters into the story of the Lord of the Rings. The goal of this game is to take the ring to Mount Doom in Morder and destroy the ring by casting it into the flames. It's a highly thematic game set that any Lord of the Rings fan should at least play once. Fate of the Fellowship (BGG, Z-Man)
