It's Chritsmas which means Matthew gets to use the Christmas intro music! Also Mike takes us through some very Christmasy rounds... which may or may not just mean arguing.

Just before Mark is de-platformed, he would like to remind the SVWAG audience of two very important facts.
First, he is but a man shouting into a can, and just because he doesn't like the thing you like doesn't make either less worthy of respect, dignity, and chocolate. He is willing to accept the possibility that he's Playing It Wrong and/or Doesn't Get It and/or needs to Git Gud and/or is just insufficiently evolved.
Second, a reminder that complaints are to be directed to support@aircanada.ca.

In this episode, I answer a bunch of questions that were submitted by BGDL community members!
The post Your game design questions answered appeared first on Board Game Design Lab.
On this hot meat sandwich of a Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Matt are running through a selection of the games they played at PAX Unplugged!
First up are some excitable impressions of the latest from Leder Games: Arcs! That’s followed up with a double bill of Grandpa Beck games - the raucously silly Cover Your Assets and Skull King - which in turn is followed by ANOTHER double bill of mushroom-themed boxes with Mycelia and Mycelium: A Mushling Game. Finally, we get to the real good stuff, where Tom and Matt wax lyrical about Strike; a ridiculously simple dice-chucking game that we simply couldn’t get enough of.
This is the first in a double, potentially TRIPLE feature of PAX Unplugged games! Next time, we’re tackling the big crunchy boxes that melted our brains…
Have a great weekend, everybody!
