Ambie and Crystal discuss a couple games they've played recently, including 18MEX and Heroes of Land, Air & Sea. We then have a top 5 list of our favorite games with boring themes. In this week's "Board Game Etymology" segment, Crystal discusses the origins of the word "travel."
Our How to Play videos are designed to be short (but still complete) instructional videos, mainly for people who want an overview before playing with someone who knows how to play (in place of that person teaching the rules). Setup and refresh is usually in a separate video, since only one person needs to know the details.
Strategically Thematic is a segment featured on The Dice Tower's bi-weekly Throat Punch Lunch videos about games where the theme and mechanics go together really well.
Ambie, Cassadi, and Crystal discuss some games they've played recently, including Rolling Stock, Power Grid: Deluxe, and Lotus. We then talk about some good two-player board games. In this week's "Board Game Etymology" segment, Crystal discusses the origins of the word "alliance."
