Walker acts on his firm conviction that sympathy is for the weak, and the internet seems to endorse this position. Fueled by Mark's misery, the pair utter a great deal of words on the topic of Rising Sun, which has had a firm grip on their gaming time of late. They then decide to move on to matters of history and politics, which are always safe topics. Nothing could possibly go wrong.

In this show, we talk about Get Off My Land!, Star Wars Clue, Awkward Guests, Noria, Tiki Island, and Vampires of the Night. We answer questions like why our voices are so slow, games as luxury items, and obnoxious players. We hear a tale of horror, and then end the show talking about our favorite food-themed games.
In this week's episode I talk to renaissance man, Isaac Shalev. We talk about his history as a designer, the joys of working in a partnership and how his faith influences him and his work. But which games did he choose?
You also get to hear the team collapse in on themselves like a dying star when exposed to the madness of the Best Expansion category. Just what is an expansion for?!

Mark and Walker dare the siege perilous in this, their thirteenth installment. Walker shares a rare moment of sincerity, and Mark restrains himself from taunting him for the lapse. Rising Sun is revisited and compared to Twilight Imperium, and shockingly Mark highlights ways in which that is favorable to TI:4. Mass hysteria ensues.

Based on the board game, City of Remnants, Rise of a Remnant charts the rise, through the criminal underworld, of a young hungry "rem". The City of Remnants is a city populated by alien refugees that have been captured by the cruel overlords of the galaxy, The Yugi. If you're not big enough to work in the mines or strong enough to fight at the front you are thrown in to The City of Remnants to struggle for the meagre life that can be found there. This is a short story written and performed by Ben Maddox.
Majesty is an easy to learn, wonderfully elegant and interactive card game. Each player recruits subjects to help create a prosperous new realm. Each character offers a simple but specialized way to bring wealth, health and security to the crown.
