November 09, 2023Episode 144 with Liz Davidson of Beyond Solitaire chatting up Chaos Cove, Mists Over Carcassonne and Night Witches!
BJ and Steve welcome in a content creator who is also deep diving into the world of designing board games on Episode 144! This time, The NameFather has invited Liz Davidson, reviewer with Beyond Solitaire's YouTube Channel and podcast, and the co-designer (with David Thompson) of the upcoming game, Night Witches, from Fort Circle Games to talk about some spicy hot board games!
In the banter, we chatted about:
SDHistCon and the Summit Awards
Recent plays of The Mists Over Carcassonne
Recent plays of Chaos Cove
Crowdfunding projects that have caught Liz's eye
The big feature was a deep dive into NIGHT WITCHES, a new two-player game designed by Liz Davidson and David Thompson that is in development with Fort Circle Games. That's right -- it's a Gumbo Scoop -- you'll hear all about the design choices, history of the game, and development even before it hits crowdfunding!
And finally, it's not Gumbo Live! unless we play a game with the Chat Krewe -- this time Steve and I bring back the all time Gumbo favorite, The Jambalaya Game! We mix in a lot of ancient history jokes (Liz is a Latin teacher and a student of ancient history) in with some really bad board game puns.
CHAOS COVE crowdfunding project is on Gamefound right now and almost funded already!

BJ and Steve welcome in a double dose of awesome guests on Episode 143! This time, it's Mike Grade, founder of Rock Manor Games (and designer of Lawyer Up!) and Clarence Simpson, designer of the hit game amongst the Gumbo Krewe, The Wolves!
We reviewed:
The Quacks of Quedlinberg
Wander Towers
And there is a heaping helping of Southern Board Game Fest advertise---errr---news sprinkled all over the show. Lots of inside baseball? Sure, but the Chat Krewe is bubbling with excitement about the best board game convention south of Vidrine, Louisiana!
But wait there's more!
The big feature was a deep dive into MERCHANTS OF MAGICK, and the two brand new expansions hitting Kickstarter this week from Rock Manor Games! Mike and Clarence tell us about the development, give us insights into the game process, and talk about all the new content!
And finally, it's not Gumbo Live! unless we play a game with the Chat Krewe -- this time Steve and I and Clarence go head-to-head with Mike Gnade's brain, in THE ENVIE GAME. But there's a shocking twist as to the winner! You'll have to listen to the Chat Krewe's contributions to believe it!
