In Episode 17, we review Nucleum by Board&Dice and discuss our first, second, and third impressions of the game. To start off the episode, we chat about the games that are bringing us joy: The White Castle: Matcha, New York Zoo, Gentle Rain, and Marvel Champions: The Card Game.

In Nucleum, it’s the economic and technological boom of 19th-century Saxony, and you are working hard to earn victory points through building and powering urban buildings, obtaining and completing contracts, and racing to milestones set by the king himself, Frederik Augustus. Be the most successful industrialist by advancing your income tracks, expanding your network, and upgrading your technologies in this heavy euro board game. We all enjoy this game and the interesting decisions it presents–especially through the action tiles that double as rails.
