In this episode, we welcome back Chris Cormier from Geeky Goodies to share a review and join in our discussion of the evolution of House Rules and Homebrew rules in RPG’s and board games. But first, Myron kicks things off by spreading some love and hype to the Switch. Marvel Ultimate Alliance has been released and Myron is 100 percent onboard the Nintendo train. Tom watched the teaser video and thinks it might be time to buy the Switch. A simple co-op beat-’em up game sounds like fun for the whole family to enjoy.

Meanwhile Chris has just played Mord im Arosa (by Alessandro Zucchini) again and discovered that he still enjoys the unique game mechanic based on sound. In this game players are guests, investigators and suspects in two murders that occurred at the hotel Arosa. Using a unique hollow nesting tower design, each player drops player token clue(s) into the tower and listens intently to try to hear which level the the clue(s) landed on. Guess right and you might be able to incriminate your opponents or clear some of your own evidence. Guess wrong and you leave more evidence behind to be found. Chris gives it 3 strips of bacon for its simplicity, fast-paced gameplay and unique sound-based game mechanic. 

Finally, Tom leads a discussion on the evolution of Homebrew D&D rules and House Rules in board games. From D&D special Homebrew items, to House Rules in Monopoly and Munchkin tune in to find out each podcaster’s favorite custom rules.
