Go Forth And Game Podcast

I'm happy to have Philip duBarry back as my guest. He has a new game, Square Meal, on Kickstarter right now. It's a neat little pattern recognition game. It's a good game for families or to take to the restaurant to play while you wait for your food.

This is a blast from the past. It's a conversation with Carla Kopp and Dan Letzring of Galactic Raptor Games. We talk a lot about Animal Kingdoms. Since the game is arriving in backers' hands I thought it would be cool to rerun this show from earlier this year. Enjoy.

Friend of the show Danny Devine is back to talk about his latest game, Kohaku. Kohaku is a chill game about building koi ponds and is being published by Gold Seal Games. Check this out to find out about this cool little game.

We review three games this time. Two are from Fisher Heaton Games - Wayk & Tangl. The third is Sierra West from Board & Dice.

Game Designer Jay Cormier joins me this time to talk about his new publishing company, Off The Page Games. The company's first game, Mind MGMT: The Psychic Espionage Game. Mind MGNT is based on the awesome comic of the same name by Matt Kindt. Jay talks about starting a game publishing company, the game, and his cool, unique game plan for Off The Page.

I have the pleasure of having two guests this time. It's Helaina Cappel of Kids Table Board Games (KTBG) and designer David Diaz. David is having his first game, Fossilis, published by KTBG! So I wanted to get them together to talk about how the game came about, what it's about, and why KTBG loved it so much they had to publish it. And that's what we talk about tonight.    

This time Ryan reviews The Zorro Dice Game from Pull The Pin, The City from Eagle Gryphon, and This IS Rocket Science from Concrete Canoe.

This show Ryan and I review three good games - Planetoid from, Periodic from Genius Games, and The River from Days of Wonder. We liked all three but one stood out way above the other two. Which one is it? You'll need to listen to find out.

Genius Games has a new game called Periodic - The Game of The Elements. Paul Salomon, one of the game's designers, is here to talk about the game. We talk about how he got involved, how the game was built, and what Genius Games is all about.

Ryan takes a look at Camp Pinetop from Talon Strike Studios.

This episode I'm talking to Odin Phong, co-founder of Inkwell Games. Odin is here to talk about their first project, Dice & Ink, vol. 1. This is a book full of roll and write games, 10 in all. The book will be full color, 10+ perforated pages/sheets for each game. There are traditional competitive games, some solo games, and come cooperative games. It's pretty unique and Odin gives us the low down on how it came about, each game included, and the Kickstarter campaign. I know you will enjoy it.

It's review time. First Ryan will give us the lowdown on Chocolatiers from Daily Magic Games. I'll talk about the beautiful hiking game, Parks from Keymaster Games. Lastly, Ryan will tell us about LOTS, a new game from Royal N. Games. These are fun games and we will give you some details.

I'm talking to Dan Letzring of Letiman Games about their latest game, Adventure Tactics. Here's some info about the game. Adventure Tactics: Domianne's Tower is an encounter-based, campaign-driven, cooperative deck-builder. Begin your journey as one of 5 Basic Classes and battle your way through a branching campaign where you choose your own path in an attempt to overthrow the evil Queen Domianne. With each encounter, you will level up and unlock over 15 Elite Classes, adding new actions, equipment, and abilities. Will your team find the right combination of Classes and powers in time to stop Queen Domianne? Let the adventure begin!  The game is funded and has unlocked 3 stretch goals as of this posting.  

In this show Ryan and I take a look at games that are on the way in the second half of 2019. We talk upcoming Kickstarters, games hitting retail, and then we discuss the games we are most looking forward to seeing in the next few months.
