For our last episode before the holiday season, we are happy to bring to you Jason's patented "headspace" reviews for some fun games, as well as a great idea for a last-minute stocking stuffer. First up, Jason reviews Coraline: Beware the Other Mother, a quick and quirky solo/ coop card game with some neat integration of the Coraline movie IP (2:42). Second, Jason covers Nemo Rising (11:45), the cooperative adventure game in a steampunk universe (that happens to have nothing, nothing at all to do with Nemo's War!). Finally, Jason is very happy to welcome Paul Grogan from Gaming Rules back onto the show to discuss the new Adventure Games from Kosmos (19:50). Two modules are released already - Monochrome Inc. and The Dungeon. We get into the story elements, rewarding cleverness, the app companion, and other angles. We also compare the Adventure Games to other escape room games like Exit and Unlock, as well as games like TIME Stories and a few others.

Every Night is Game Night is a weekly podcast dedicated to gamer’s games. We cover board games that have heavy strategy, awesome theme, and everything in between. We also have interviews, discussion topics both serious and fun, and a special love for gamers who play their games solo.

One chapter closes, another opens. Jason has started a new channel on YouTube called Shelf Stories. Please go hit those Like and Subscribe buttons, and please spread the word! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnaZ7055IWOdm8XCJfFRDcw With the beginning of the new channel, Every Night is Game Night will come to a permanent close. Before describing Shelf Stories and all of the new content over there, Jason takes a minute to thank and to express his love for all of the solo gamers who made ENGN possible. Without your enthusiasm and interaction, ENGN doesn't make it to 190 episodes. Thanks to everyone, once again, and we'll see you on the new channel. (edited) 

ENGN 190 - The End of Every Night is Game Night, and the Beginning of a New Story

Let’s get right to it - this is the last episode of ENGN for the time being. Jason does this episode solo to talk to the ENGN listeners directly about why this pod will go into a bit of a hibernation period. First up, though, are some final game reviews. Jason shares about a party game (gasp!) called What Do You Meme?, an Apples to Apples variant with a visual element. Next up is The Crew: Quest for Planet Nine, a cooperative trick-taking game that has gotten a lot of great attention. Finally, Jason is happy to end on a great, fitting note with a review of Shadows of Kilforth.  Please do not unsubscribe to the show! It will be going away for now, but it will return at some point when the time is right. Thank you so much for listening.

ENGN 189 - That’s all, folks! (For now)

Liz Davidson has been churning out designer interviews for her YouTube channel, Beyond Solitaire. Here is another one, a chat with Morgane Gouyon-Rety, ancient history expert and designer of Pendragon and Hubris. One of Liz's main interests is the intersection of design and history, which she explores with her guest here. Original discussion - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQUqP9cAgYg&t;=2530s

Jason hearkens back to a happier time in this episode when folks were allowed to have game demos in-game stores! This episode hails from the Brooklyn Strategist, a terrific game store in Brooklyn, where Rory O'Connor of Hub Games visited and demoed a few games. First up is Adventure Mart, a light deck builder depicting store owners in a fantasy convenience store, selling weapons to adventurers, and building your empire. Instead of simply buying cards, you bid for them against other players, which creates opportunities for interaction and light, friendly screwage. This one will go directly to retail very soon. We also played Prisma Arena, an arena combat game reminiscent of HeroClix with a low barrier of entry and lots of card-based tactical movement and combo play. The Kickstarter for this one will be live on Tuesday, May 19th.

If you are not a regular listener of the Board Gamers Anonymous podcast, you might not know that Jason hopped over there on episode 267 to chat about why Pandemic is his favorite game. For this episode, we are presenting that entire conversation here. Following that, Jason also did a video for the One Stop Coop Shop, ranking his favorite, Top Ten Pandemic games. The audio for that follows the conversation with the BGA fellas. It's a Pandemic cornucopia this week! If you've already listened to both pieces of audio in their respective original venues, then thanks for being a superfan, and we'll see you next week :)  One Stop Coop Shop Slack - bit.ly/onestopslack BGA Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/bga
