Listen Later

Special guests join us this week – our children Claire and Asher! We talk about some of the games they’ve been playing, and a little bit about self-control in losing.

What We’ve Been Playing:
Sushi Go Party!
Lanterns: The Harvest Festival
Rolling America
Welcome to DinoWorld – a print and play game available here.
What’s Up – still delightful.
Pocket Sub – from Geek Fever Games, on Kickstarter right now
Awesome Bots – also from Geek Fever Games
Mission to Planet Hexx – with the designer. Retro styled space game where players build the map but also try to keep back cards to fill their “mission briefing” hexagon.
Downforce – Asher beat us all.
Ice Cool – a fun flicking game.
Balloon Pop! – roll-n-write.
In Vino Morte – from Button Shy. Previously mentioned on episode 42 and episode 59. Andrew wasn’t really impressed.
Kintsugi – also from Button Shy. Repair broken pottery, while trying to keep your color of pottery as contiguous as possible.
Deep Sea Adventure – just like Ryan told us last week, this game is so much harder than it appears!
Rising Sun – fictional Japanese clans go to war in this area control game. Bluff your opponent(s) to gain the most honor.
Andrew is super excited to finally get Roll Player. Expect to hear more next week, or look for us at Granite Game Summit to play.
Stacking – video game of story & puzzles with Russian stacking dolls. The kids love to watch.
Backtalk!

Kirsten & her family posted pictures of games played when they were without power. Potion Explosion, Colt Express, etc.
Max Davie (aka @games4families) playing Celestia with his kids.
Animo finished its Kickstarter and we’re excited to see the cards!
Adam Noel (@MrNoelJMIS): “LOVED your “fillers” podcast. Got some great ideas to add to my amazon list!” You’re welcome, Adam!
Sales
Cool Stuff Inc. is having a big sale through Sunday 3/11.
FunAgain Games is going out of business. Bad news, except it means they are also clearing out their games at rock bottom prices.
