We are talking about Empires in Arms, which those in the know call both the best wargame ever as well as the ultimate RPG. The guests on our show are Herr Dockter and Robert from the famous Sawatdeee EiA-AARs on BGG. Dave also is the host of the „Guns, dice and butter “ podcast, the iconic show for the wargaming tribe. We talk about Empires in Arms in general, it’s uniqueness as an experience, the types of players it needs. Robert highlights how well geopolitics and international relations are organically modelled in EiA. We also dwell on the genius behind many of the rules systems, their elegance and emergent depth. Listen three EiA-addicts nerd out and listen to 5 minutes of host settembrini scrambling for the word „bond market“.
