Tabletop Life Podcast

After a few false starts, we finally play and discuss Imhotep by Kosmos Games. After / during that discussion, we spiral out of control talking about gateway games and the perfect length of a tabletop game.

In this episode, we explore the wasteland of Fallout : The Board Game. It's another expansive Fantasy Flight Game, so we'll discuss it's depth, how it plays and makes lots of comparisons to the video game series and DOOM from Fantasy Flight.

This month we talk about the latest expansion for Star Wars : Destiny - Legacies. There are several new game features to discuss and compare to previous editions. We also look at Destiny Rivals, which is a draft deck starter. We also ask the question - how do you store all these cards and dice?

In this special episode (Part 2 of 2) we follow up last month's discussion about the classic co-op game Pandemic. This month's game is Pandemic Legacy, the psuedo sequel that trades in replayability for story and surprise. We find out how they compare.

(Part 1 of 2) In this episode, we play the classic co-op survival game "Pandemic" by Z-Man games. Experience the crushing difficulty of this team based race to cure 4 diseases. Next month, in part 2 we will discuss Pandemic Legacy Season 1, a pseudo sequel to Pandemic with a major twist.

This episode is all about the classic tile placement game Carcassonne. Published by Z-Man games, this staple of the tabletop genre has spawned countless expansions and can also be purchased in a Big Box Edition that includes lot of extra content.
