This week we look at yet another Pandemic game.  This one is the Lord of the Rings themed Fate of the Fellowship.  This game does an excellent job of putting the characters into the story of the Lord of the Rings.  The goal of this game is to take the ring to Mount Doom in Morder and destroy the ring by casting it into the flames.

It's a highly thematic game set that any Lord of the Rings fan should at least play once.

This week, Julius talks about the game Oros.  In this game, you play a good raising lands so that your followers can build you powerful temples atop volcanoes!

This time around we talk about Lost in Adventure: The Labyrinth.  It's a light point-and-click style adventure that will feel familiar to folks that played Cantaloop or video games like Leisure Suit Larry, Monkey Island and all those old games.  This game feels like those but quite a bit lighter.

This week sporty Albert and Sporty Julius talk about sports... sports games that is!  We look at the various sports games we know and enjoy.

This week we learn about a new cozy game about books.  More specifically, storing books all over your house.  As a gamer, this surely sounds familiar.

This week Julius introduces us to the game Emerald Skulls.  It's a gambling game for 1 to 6 feisty goblins!

This week Julius talks about Maki Masters, a game about preparing the best sushi recipes by carefully arranging ingredients on the preparation mat.  This is basically a tile laying game in which you are trying to arrange the ingredients to complete recipes.  However, this game brings some really nice looking components, especially if you have the deluxified edition.

This week I tell Julius all about managing a finishing and canning business while trying to keep ecological balance in Conservas.  It's a bag-building game by Scott Almes in which you are catching fish to sell in the market.  While doing this, you need to be careful and not overfish or risk unbalancing the ecosystem and losing the game.

This week we return to Popular Mechanics.  This week we look at games that are sequels to other games.

Honorable mentions

This week Julius shares One Hit Heroes with us.  It's a game about fighting super-villains that are supposedly way more powerful than the heroes.  It's a co-operative game that can be played solo or multi-handed solo.
