Episode 72: Davey's Chop Shop
It's your turn...to click here to send us your comments on the show
Davey is back as first player after wrestling control from Tambo and remember the good old days of "Pimp My Ride" with Tim Westwood. Davey channels his inner Westwood along with airhorns in our new version "Davey's Chop Shop" where we take board games and give them a glow up. Will the games be improved? or are we left with just a bag of knackers? Lets face it...we're not designers so our opinions are just for entertainment only.
FIRST PLAYER: Davey
OTHER PLAYERS: JP, Rob & Tambo
In this episode you'll learn:
- that co-op trick taking causes high fiving and whooping in Fellowship of the Ring: The Trick Taking Game by Office Dog
- our thoughts on the newest "span" game Finspan by Stonemaier Games
- how JP has become a rogue AI and loving life (artificial life) in Compile by Greater Than Games
- that Rob has FINALLY got his copy of Elder Scrolls: BOTSE by Chip Theory Games and is now neck deep in neoprene
- whether our games which come out of the chop shop are worthwhile contenders for the hobby space...probably not you know us by now.LINKS REFERENCED IN THE SHOW
