Loopin' Louie
Keltis Das Kartenspiel
Einfach Genial Das Kartenspiel
Schweinebammel (the pig game we discussed and forgot the name of)
Kardinal & Konig Das Kartenspiel
Nuns On The Run

Join me for a game of Web of Power ONLINE:

And the contest continues for ONE MORE WEEK - Review the podcast on iTunes, send me an email, and possibly win a game!

Shelley and I talk about two older games - Michael Schacht's Richelieu and Reiner Knizia's Samurai - then delve into a discussion of Der Palast von Eschnapur by Inka and Markus Brand.

BTW, it's KARDINAL &KONIG DAS KARTENSPIEL, where you will find the Web of Power Card Game. Also, Richelieu is a free Print & Play game too - you can find the files on boardgamegeek.com or on michaelchacht.net.

Finally, remember that that contest is still running - review the podcast and iTunes, then send me a note to enter. Be sure to tell me WHICH iTunes you reviewed the game on.

Enjoy!

And this is Part 2 of the Greg Parker conversation. Not sure why I felt the need to break it into 2 parts, but I think it was about making sure I had enough material for two weeks!

The first episode recorded with Shelley on the microphone - and this is where I knew I had something good! From here on out I tried to have another voice on the podcast for a conversation whenever possible - and Shelley's voice has been the perfect foil to mine for quite awhile!
