#312: Cascadero

Before the people of Quebec celebrated the Journée nationale des Patriotes (National Patriots' Day), they instead on the same day had the Fête de Dollard. A cynic might speculate that the timing of these holidays was chosen so as to pre-empt the English Canadian Victoria Day, and that cynic would be right.Games Played Last Week:01:21 -Dice Flick (Rami Gaber, Pegasus Spiele, 2021) 04:49 -A Message from the Stars (Clarence Simpson, Allplay, 2024)11:21 -Switchbacks (Susumu Kawasaki, Allplay, 2022)14:23 -Mage Knight: The Board Game (Vlaada Chvatil, WizKids, 2011)18:29 -Leviathan Wilds (Justin Kemppainen, Moon Crab Games, 2024)19:32 -Priorities (Uncredited, Clarendon Games, 2020)22:11 -Word Traveler (Thomas Dagenais-Lespérance, Office Dog, 2024)25:59 -Cascadito (Reiner Knizia, Bitewing Games, 2024)News (and why it doesn't matter):28:27 Grail Games will be reprinting Marc André's Barony with its Sorcery expansion28:53 Indonesia reprint from Splotter with a new board29:51 Black Forest from Tido Lorenze, Uwe Rosenberg, and Feuerland Spiele30:04 Another Frostpunk game, this time from Board&Dice30:28 Walking Dead game from Button Shy30:39 New expansion for Aquatica, Coral Reefs30:50 Followup to Oathsworn from Shadowborne and Jamie Jolly: Avalon: The Riven Veil31:02 Darktide the miniatures game from Games Workshop31:33 Dungeon Twister 20th Anniversary Edition by Christophe Boelinger and Ludically32:57 Congratulations to the Golden Geek winners! 34:02 Feature Game: Cascadero (Reiner Knizia, Bitewing Games, 2024)Our Sponsors:* Check out Incogni: https://incogni.com/aboutgamesAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Om Podcasten

A podcast about all manner of hobby games by Mike Walker and Mark Bigney. Bad games don't go easy on you, so we don't go easy on them. Thorough analysis via reviews, news, and discussion of topics in gaming. We take context seriously, we value your time, and we're not into hype. Just because games are fun doesn't mean we can't take them seriously, and just because we take them seriously doesn't mean we can't have fun.
