Euro Mondays are usually all about...euro games! But this time, courtesy of our friends at Flatout Games, the krewe decides to stream plays of HONEYPOT and FORAGE, which are two lighter games that are out on Kickstarter right now from Flatout. 

Doug gives a brief overview of HONEYPOT, while Jeremy teaches FORAGE. Then, we do a deep dive into our post-game thoughts of both games. Here is a link to the Kickstarter page for more info: 

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/flatoutgames/forage-honeypot

Plus, there's a little bit of Lagniappe. Doug just got in his copy of the new version of NIPPON from CrowD Games, and gives an overview of what has changed and what has stayed the same. 

Sit back with a glass of Wigle Whiskey Honey Bourbon and a warm slice of a plate of Cajun-style, pan-seared honey butter shrimp, and enjoy another episode of Lagniappe from Board Game Gumbo!

It’s another “lagniappe” episode of the Gumbo podcast, this time with our old friend, Steve Finn of Doctor Finn's Games (Biblios, Nanga Parbat, Cities and so many other great games).

Steve stops by the Gumbo Pot to chat about some exciting crowdfunding news. His new publishing company, PIPNETIC GAMES, is heading to Kickstarter on February 23 for his latest book of games.

This one is called Dr. Finn's Book of 2-Player Strategy and Word Games, which has FIVE different strategy games and THREE more word games, each for two players! And the kicker? You don't need dice or anything else except a writing implement to play these games right out of the book. 

Go to www.doctorfinnsgames.com and click on the Kickstarter link to get more information. We've played some of the games (both solo and two player) in the original Dr Finn’s Book of Solo Strategy & Word Games, and can attest at how great these games are.

Next up, Steve and I dive into some recent games played, including Misfit Heroes designed by Steve's friend, Phil Walker-Harding. And Steve shares some great news for Cities fans about some new content coming our way!

Finally, we throw in our choices for ENVIE game this week!  Can you guess what they are? 

Sit back with a Joe's slice and a Brooklyn Lager, and enjoy another episode of Lagniappe from Board Game Gumbo!
