It's easy to get caught up in the cult of the new, but there are so many amazing games that came out before we were even in the hobby. Mark Bigney of So Very Wrong About Games joins us to look at the games we love from yesteryear, and other older games we really ought to play. And stick around for even more special appearances after the show! Before we go back in time, we talk about Sobek: 2 Players, Phantom Leader Deluxe, and Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition.

Shelley and I discuss the first 1/2 of

My City by Reiner Knizia from KOSMOS

(with a few spoilers), but first we tackle the FOURTH in the Azul series

Azul: Queen's Garden by Michael Kiesling from Next Move Games

💾

Preparation is important. We very carefully do our advance research here at SVWAG, but occasionally mild errors do creep in. For this week, Mark studiously crafted notes and observations on such issues as four octave vocal ranges, Nickelodeon celebrity culture, and whether boredom of a third party constitutes necessary or sufficient conditions for breaking up with one's girlfriend. Sadly for Mark, Ariana was not the Grande under discussion this week, so he was forced to begin anew.

There are many ways that we can accidentally contribute to gatekeeping in the hobby - pushing those who want to embrace it away. Whether it's to those outside, or even, bizarrely, to those already in, we break down the subtle (and unsubtle) ways we do it, whether or not we mean to. Before we find the keymaster, we talk about San Marco, Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion, and Ghosts of Christmas.

A review of Block Ness written by Stephen Conway.

💾

Nice, easy discussion topic this time. Lots of passionate folks, for good or ill, rate games on the Board Game Geek website without having played it, sometimes even before it's released. Some folks are really annoyed at that practice, for what I think are obvious reasons. I go the other way. I say, rate away! I break down both sides of the discussion and invite others to join in.

Ryan Laukat, designer of Sleeping Gods, talks about designing open world games.

Sleeping Gods is a phenomenal example of how a board game can pull off the open world experience, and we do a deep dive into basically every aspect of its design. I’ve also been working on an open world game of my own over the last couple years, so we get into the ways we overcame similar issues.

The post Designing Open World Games with Ryan Laukat appeared first on Board Game Design Lab.
