Jason is joined by Andrew Whipple, Developer and Community Manager with Daily Magic Games, to talk about the Valeria games - Card Kingdoms, Villages, Quest, and more! He's very honest in that they aren't what currently what solo players are looking for, but is looking forward to continuing development based on consumer feedback. We then get into a wider discussion about surviving as a small games company.

3:01 Current State of Pubs and Media - 'cozy'

10:40 Are Board Game Content Creators 'Media'?

30:44 (some) Pubs Resist Board Game Journalism

41:18 "The Paid Review" - Black and White, or Grey Spaces?

45:47 Motivations of Board Game Reviewers

50:13 Critics Need to Be Critical

Packed show today! Jason starts off with a review of Genshin Tarot, a card battler in the mold of Sentinels of the Multiverse, Aeon's End, etc. Love when we can highlight great games from small publishers. Then, at around 13 minutes, Jason is joined by Eric from the Board Game Dojo podcast. We chat a bit about Japanese cooperative games to start. At 24 minutes, we talk about the alpha gamer - the dude (usually a dude) who bosses people around and tells people all the right moves during a coop game. We get into psychology, motivations, and what can be done to mitigate at your table.

Check out Board Game Dojo on all your favorite podcast feeds! Also on twitter, @thebgdojo
