It's all Fat Bear Week and puns this week, both of which share one important characteristic--they have distended, pendulous bellies. Wait, that wasn't it.

It's that they are both to be respected for their power and danger. Those people you hear about who try to live with bears always suffer the same fates as the serial deployers of puns, in that they are both found dead and alone.

Episode 263

In this episode we are joined by video game developer turned tabletop developer and toy inventor Scott Pease. We discuss his history in video games (some very small indie titles like Guitar Hero and Tony Hawk Pro Skater) and the development of Snap Ships Tactics. Scott then tells us about how Mindbug has burrowed into his head, Lauren gives a two-for-one special discussing Come Sail Away! and Neuroshima Hex, and finally, Def brings us back to the classics with his plays of Lacrimosa. 

There's also the Question of the Pod and Swear an Oath, because we are nothing if not predictable. 

New Question of the Pod: What game do you wish was available when you were younger?

Sizzling Games:
Mingbug (32:58)
Come Sail Away! (38:44)
Neuroshima Hex 3.0 (43:09)
Lacrimosa (51:30)

Question of the Pod Recap: (1:05:15)
Swear An Oath: (1:13:51)

We turn to yet another discussion of important issues in boardgaming, this time 

WE INTERRUPT YOUR SILLY EPISODE NOTES FOR A SERIOUS ANNOUNCEMENT

It is fat bear week! The possibility of a US federal government shutdown has been averted, and thus the voting public (even foreigners, we won't tell) may vote on which lorge bois of the ursine variety shall take the prize! For those uninitiated, the US National Park Service runs a bracketed competition to determine the preferred corpulent bear. Note: none of these bears are anthropomorphic, nor have any been inadvisably given projectile weapons.
