In Raiders of the North Sea you assemble a crew, collect provisions and journey north to plunder... even if it ends in a glorious death! It's a worker placement game with a brilliant balance of strategy and simplicity. And a perfect intro to the genre.

Geoff joins us for some GameTek, Tom gives our convention schedule for 2018, and we answer some questions! Finally, we end the show with our favorite games from fifteen years ago - 2003!

Alan has been in the gaming industry for four decades and brings a great deal of experience and insight into this conversation. Both designers and publishers will benefit from what he has to say here.

In episode eleven of our comedy board gaming quiz show we play:
Haters gonna hate

Hulla-kazoo
Roll up, roll up
The price is probably extortionate

Mark and Walker engage the ALL CAPS in a very HARDCORE WAY. Or something. All in all, they're very civil, even while disagreeing about Sidereal Confluence and being mystified by people's strong reactions to HATE. Rage gets all the love, but HATE gets all the confusion.
