Printin' and Playin' Podcast

In this episode, I discuss …And Then We Held Hands, a cooperative game that doesn’t let you cooperate as you would sometimes like to, and that might be a defining example of art in the form of board games.

Holy crap! It’s a new episode! I was able to get away from baby prep for long enough to talk about Stuff and Nonsense for a little bit – a set collection game that dreams of one day being a storytelling game, and that has Professor Elemental’s name on it.

In this episode I talk about hanafuda cards, including a brief history of the origins of this quite cool deck of cards from Japan, as well as a couple of the more popular games played with them – Koi Koi, and Go Stop!

Another episode already? Crazy, I know! I was recently able to get Dune Express to the table, and I wanted to get my thoughts down while they were still fresh! Those who have already had a chance to play this one may notice that I totally goof up one of the movement rules in the description – don’t worry, I correct later on.

  I was able to pull myself away from working on the nursery (we found out it’s going to be boy, by the way!) long enough to get out another episode – this time about the solitaire fantasy adventure game Shadows Upon Lassadar!
