Yes, you could make the argument that every game is a negotiation game if you try hard enough, but for a lot of games it's more integral to the design. We look at games that we think integrate negotiation mechanics especially well, and ask how much is too much (or too little) when it comes to negotiation. Before we compromise, we talk about Septima, and Kremlin.

02:12 - Septima 18:09 - Kremlin 34:26 - Negotiation as a mechanic 35:51 - Catan 38:01 - Sidereal Confluence: Trading and Negotiation in the Elysian Quadrant 43:23 - Inis 45:45 - Rising Sun 47:31 - Between Two Cities 49:22 - Dune 50:28 - Spartacus: A Game of Blood and Treachery 52:48 - Diplomacy

Heads up, One Stop Coop Shop fans! This episode will cover an RPG Adventure book, rather than a board game. The reason we are running it here is for adventure and dungeon crawler fans - let's see new stuff! We can stick with elves, orcs, swords, and forests, or we can open our minds to new perspectives from new creators. Ajit George is the creative lead for the new Adventure book for Dungeons and Dragons, Journey Through the Radiant Citadel. The book presents adventures for adults who want tough moral choices and creative depth in their games. It was written by an all-POC writing team with different takes on familiar adventuring. We discuss how it came about, what it hopes to accomplish, and addressing some of the cultural pushback.

Def, Jules and Mike are back this week to explore the method to Jules' boardgame-culling madness, the experience of sharing the hobby with the Oz Comic Con community, and everyone's next favourite game from Vital Lacerda. Meanwhile Jules has been having a feast of fun with Bites, Mike has been navigating through the lies of Blood On The Clocktower, and Def is finally ready to talk about Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon.

In the Board Game Bracket we settle the last match-up, Quacks of Quedlinburg vs Too Many Bones, before we cue up the next battle: Gaia Project vs Raiders of the North Sea. To make sure your favourite goes through to the next round make sure you vote on our socials.

Finally, in Swear An Oath, Jules successfully played a multi-player game of Age of Steam, but failed to get Ortus Regni to the table. Meanwhile Mike is still yet to play Viscounts of the West Kingdom, and Def can't decide if he fulfilled his On Mars: Alien Invasion oath or not? New oaths include Root: The Marauder Expansion (Jules), Picture Perfect (Mike), and Railways of Australia (Def).
