A fight to the death in an epic spell war.  Beers foaming out of bottles because Schnell can't drink good.  Nelson catches the plague.  What else could go wrong when the Beer'd Gamers gather 'round the table for a play through of the insanely illustrated card game Epic Spell Wars of the Battle Wizards: Duel at Mt. Skullzfyre?  Probably plenty.

Epic Spell Wars is a card game that pits players against everyone else sitting at the table.  Spells have three cards that comprise them, but the twist is that you can play one, two, or three cards of a spell.  Play is continued until one wizard has been crowned Last Wizard Standing twice.  The game retails for an MSRP of $29.99 and is published by Cryptozoic Entertainment.  Looking for a fun way to break up strategy games during game night, or just another way to comically annihilate your friends?  Look no further than Epic Spell Wars!

Four adventurers set out on a quest to rid the city of Baldur's Gate of the evil that plagues it.  Will the evil lurking in the shadows turn one of the companions against the others?  Will everyone make it out alive?  Will Nelson ever remember the items he has in his possession?  Find out the answers to all of that and more when the Beer'd Gamers tackle Betrayal at Baldur's Gate, the newest entry into the Betrayal series published by Avalon Hill.

With an MSRP of $49.99, Betrayal at Baldur's Gate is a great way to introduce anywhere from 3 to 6 players to the Betrayal series of board games.  Since the game has a living board, no playthrough is ever the same!

Musty dungeons, twisting corridors, rival mages, and…….glittery beams?  Today’s episode sees us playing through the four-player competitive game Wiz-War, a game that proved to be a hit with all of us.  Wiz-Warpits two to four players against each other in a race to steal treasure from your opponents and return it to your side of the board to score points, or to be be the last wizard standing.

Wiz-War is published by Fantasy Flight Games, and has an MSRP of $49.95, which makes an extremely affordable game for your next party night!

Panic, sickness, disease, and death grip the earth.  A new and seemingly unstoppable disease has broken out, and the fate of the world rests on the shoulders of four guys sitting around a card table drinking beer and insulting each other.  The debut episode of Beer’d Gamers sees the fellas, along with the help of Contingency Planner Alec Baldwin, frantically trying to save the world (and enjoy a few brews) before it’s destroyed.

This week we’re playing through Pandemic, a cooperative game for 2-4 players.  The players play against the board in a race to eradicate four diseases before they spread enough to wipe humanity off of the planet.  Pandemic is a great intro game for people who are more casual board game players but are looking to take their first step into more complex and strategic games; the Beer’s Gamers highly recommend it!  You can usually find it retailing for somewhere between $20-30, depending on the seller.

Beer selections for this episode include Murphy’s Imported Stout, from Murphy Brewery in Ireland, for Teej, Dr. Venom IPA from Ale Asylum for Schnell, Ghost Hammer IPA from Stone Brewing for Junior, and 12th of Never Ale from Lagunitas for Nelson.  Raise a beer and listen along with us!

In our second episode, we are playing through the game Evolution, with the Climate expansion.  Evolution sees its players create and adapt species to an ever-changing climate.  Food can be abundant or scarce, predators can evolve at any time, and just when players think they've found the perfect combination of traits for their species, the climate can change and wipe them out.

This a fun strategy game where players compete against each other and the board to have the most dominate species to defeat your opponents by having more food or attacking their creatures and killing them.  This is a game we had a ton of fun playing together, and it comes highly recommended from us to you.  Evolution: Climate is more fun than the base game, Evolution, and can be found for about $45.

In this episode, Teej puts down Ruination from Stone Brewing, Schnell goes classy with Champagne Tortoise from Karben4 (a Beer'd Gamers favorite brewery), Junior gets patriotic and downs 'Merica from Surly Brewing, and Nelson goes full-on plague with Sam Adams Black Lager.
