  • Hot Kickstarters: Cosmoctopus | Podcast of a Lincoln Geek

    Chris Kingsnorth of Paper Fort Games joins #POALG's Dan & George to talk about Cosmoctopus, which goes live on Kickstarter from 25th October 2022. It's a family-friendly game with competitive, co-operative, and solo play modes, all about collecting tentacles and worshipping a cute space octopus.

    This is Podcast of a Lincoln Geek, the podcast from the crew behind Diary of a Lincoln Geek (DOALG) where we write about all sorts of tabletop and boardgaming goodness. Our podcasts come in three main flavours:

    • Game Spotlights, where one of us picks a game we're passionate about and deep dive into why we like it so much
    • Hot Kickstarters, where we chat about new things we've discovered on Kickstarter, often with one of the design team themselves
    • Gaming Chat, where we talk about a concept or a hot topic in the boardgaming world
    • ...and we'll add in a pinch of special podcasts too, just to spice things up a bit

      • Are games based on existing IPs any good? | Podcast of a Lincoln Geek

        Almost every creative industry is doing it: using the same IPs over and over again to get as many movies, games, or shows out of them as possible. But do they make good board games? Or will original ideas always come out on top? Chris, Dan, George & Gregor take a look at some good and bad examples in this week's podcast.

        • What's the most obscure game you own? | Podcast of a Lincoln Geek

          Chris, Dan and George are pulling out the weirdest and least popular games from their collection this week to give them an airing, plus the obscure games suggested by the #POALG Discord community. Included in the list are Darwin's Choice, Murder in Greenrock Village Theatre, Tomorrow, Völuspá, Zeus on the Loose, Push It, I'm a Celebrity, and Ladies & Gentlemen.
