Garrett's Games and Geekiness 203

Doug Garrett — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 18:46:00 GMT

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!

A solo show this time, but I start a NEW CONTEST, then talk about the need to learn a game solo (sometimes) before you actually try to teach it. Finally, I talk about the new GREAT game from Z-Man and Peter Hawes - Wars of the Roses!

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!
