#262: Right Game, Wrong People

"L'enfer, c'est les autres," wrote Sartre, which translates into "why don't nobody wanna play with me?" You see, Sartre only liked his consims and other historical wargames, but people didn't want to join him--possibly on account of there having been less history back in his old-timey days. His angst over unplayed games was the key inspiration of his existentialist philosophy. Camus tried to show him that the answer is to play with randos with his work "The Stranger." 01:52 AYURIS: Tribune (Karl-Heinz Schmiel, Spielworxx, 2021) Games Played Last Week: 06:33 -Imperium: The Contention (Gary Dworetsky, Contention Games, 2021) 09:57 -Distilled (Dave Beck, Paverson Games, 2023) 17:25 -Quartermaster General (Second Edition): Total War (Ian Brody, Ares Games, 2020) 22:26 -Sniper Elite: Eagle's Nest (Roger Tankersly and David Thompson, Rebellion Unplugged, 2022) 28:53 -Tapple (Uncredited, The Op Games, 2021) 30:29 -The Great Zimbabwe (Jeroen Doumen and Joris Wiersinga, Splotter Spellen, 2012) 36:52 -Guards of Atlantis II: Tabletop MOBA (Artyom Nichipurov, Wolff Designa, 2021) 41:07 -Hanamikoji (Kota Nakayama, EmperorS4, 2013) 43:49 -Darwin’s Journey (Simone Luciani and Nestore Mangone, ThunderGryph Games, 2023) News (and why it doesn't matter): 46:16 Thank to Warmboy, our Discord, and all our listeners 47:18 Walker is disgusted by How to Lose a Guy in 10 DMs 47:53 Planet Unknown reprint/expansion 48:50 Shards of Infinity on crowdfunding 49:52 Ryan Laukat's Creature Caravan 50:28 Mythic Games' serial quasi-extortion; 6: Siege and all upcoming projects 55:40 Cysmic's many versions; people ask for economy but back the toys 58:44 Walker's patience is running out along with his shelf space 59:30 Faiyum: Privileges expansion 1:00:31 Topic: Right Game, Wrong People Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
