The Board Game Of The Week Has Left Me Conflicted... | AYCB Buffet #8

13. Februar 2026 um 20:25

💾

On this week's Buffet, my Game of the Week is one I'm torn on and feel different nearly each time I play. I also discuss some major industry news in Hot Off The Table, answer viewer questions in Fresh from the Mailbag and look at Craig's board game shelves in Top Shelf Spread. Grab some coffee, grab a pet, cozy up and enjoy!

After 2 years , I finally share my John Company 2nd Edition thoughts

13. Februar 2026 um 19:32

💾

I unveil my personal score for John Company 2nd Edition, one of the heaviest board games I’ve ever played. This popular game about the East India Company on the Indian subcontinent has fans galore, yet how do I feel about the portrayal of such an environment in a tabletop experience? After all, despite all of the praise on BGG, this isn’t a Cole Werhle game for just anyone. Does pretending to be a greedy British imperialist entertain me during game night? Or do I need more area control within my negotiation games? It’s a game that is extremely educational and requires a certain level of commitment to steer this dysfunctional company.

Games mentioned: Twilight Imperium 4, Bohnanza, Chinatown, Arcs, Root, Oath, Sidereal Confluence

Piece o' Cake / New York Slice — Side-by-Slide Comparison 👥

13. Februar 2026 um 19:15

💾

In this video I compare the Jeffrey D. Allers games ...aber bitte mit Sahne (2008 Winning Moves), New York Slice (2017 Bézier) and Piece o' Cake / もっとホイップを (2018 New Games Order).

It's a side-by-slide comparison... but please, with cream.

John Company: A Game of Administering Atrocities

12. Februar 2026 um 16:30

💾

Cole Wehrle’s John Company has players taking on the roles of powerful English families utilizing the East India Company for personal gain, using its state sponsored monopoly to secure power to further their own greed. This extensively revised 2nd edition has new rules and components to better represent the Company’s insidious growth into the Indian subcontinent, and its highly dysfunctional modes of operation, requiring heavy amounts of negotiation and bribes. To get victory points, players retire family member pieces from their office cards, paying exorbitant amounts of money gained from unscrupulous exploitation. This satirical yet frank portrayal of British imperialism and globalization explores a deep involvement in horrific structures by making the players understand the processes of how the English involvement worked and why such pillaging was so blatantly done by these powerful interests.

Dewan Review | Quick to Play, Hard to Master

10. Februar 2026 um 18:30

💾

Dewan is one of those rare strategy games that plays fast but still feels genuinely clever. On your turn you’re drafting terrain cards or spending them to move across a shared map, place Camps, grab Berries, and complete Story objectives for points. It’s simple to teach, quick to play, and surprisingly deep once you start planning routes, timing your objectives, and deciding when (or whether) to cross other players’ paths.

In this review, I’ll cover how Dewan plays, what makes it so satisfying, who it’s best for, and the biggest pros and cons after multiple plays.

If you like quick strategy games with meaningful decisions, route planning, hand management, and tactical interaction, this one is worth a look.
