In this meeting of Adventure Party, we talk about the pros and cons of using miniatures in your campaigns. Are miniatures really necessary in a tabletop campaign? If you use them, how do you use them effectively? How much pre-prep should you do to use miniatures without slowing down a game? Also, we give a shout out to former guest J.F. Dubeau and our favorite GM, Todd Roll.

Glenn's Review:

Terror in Meeple City is a board game that is very close to the old video game called Rampage. In fact, the original name of this board game was called Rampage but they were told to change it by Bally/Midway. In this game, you are a monster who is in town to cause destruction. You actually get to knock down buildings to score points. You can also toss vehicles and use your breath weapon to wreak havoc. Eat the meeples of Meeple City and gather the building floors you've destroyed to collect points.

News:

Curse of Strahd returns to 5th Edition D&D

Wizards of the Coast have unleashed Strahd von Zarovich on the world of 5th Edition D&D. This is something that could bring in old school gamers to the fold. The classic Ravenloft adventures was one of the best D&D horror settings ever created. You could find yourself in the land of Boravia fighting the minions of darkness or joining forces with the evil of the land. They have also released a series of untagged maps for you to use to create your own adventures in the cursed land of Barovia.

Kickstarter Spotlight:

We're shining the Kickstarter Spotlight on Tiny Epic Western. This up to 4 player game lets you experience the Wild West and work towards taking over this town using your posse members to gain influence and buy up property. Conflict resolution is done by playing 3 card poker with the special cards they've produced for the game. They've broken through so many stretch goals that the game is going to look and play wonderfully. (Glenn and I backed the game as we were recording the meeting.)

Glenn's Review:

Glenn reviews the board game, Libertalia. You are a pirate roaming the high seas, competing for treasure. You and your ships must beat out your competitors to get the riches you so rightly deserve.

News:

Tabletop games have raised far more money than video games, in the world of Kickstarter. In fact, board games raised more than twice the funding than their digital cousin.

Kickstarter Spotlight:

The light shines on the card game called Biergarten. You must create the best biergarten in town. You'll need plenty of tables, taps and a bit of strategy to create the perfect atmosphere for your patrons.

We talk with indie game designer Nick Bentley about his new project called Stinker! We discuss how his girlfriend helped inspire this game, how he named it after her, and Nick's views on game design for smart phone apps.

Glenn's Review:

Did you know that wombats poop in cube shapes? You learn this and so much more in Wombat Rescue. It's a 1-4 player game that educates you about wombats. It's a fun strategy game that makes you the mother of 4 lost baby wombats. You need to find them and bring them home. You'll need to watch out for the sinister dingo that roams the board, looking for his next meal. It's a 60 minute game that is for people 10+ in age.
