In Episode 15, we review Revive by Aporta Games and discuss our first, third, and eighth impressions of the game. To start off the episode, we chat about our shared joy from attending the Pacific Northwest Game Swap: Oregon Edition where Angela, Becky, and Gillean sold games, Reed purchased games, and we all engaged in some lively board game conversations. 

Set in a post-apocalyptic world, each player leads a tribe that is working to rebuild the world in this deck building, tech tree, and map exploration game. Through hand and resource management, each tribe works to explore new lands, build buildings, and repopulate desolate cities. All the while, players work to advance their machine tracks and utilize their tribe’s special ability to reinhabit the Earth’s frozen surface. Along the way, artifacts are uncovered and obtained to increase end game score multipliers and trigger the game end. Three of us are obsessed with Revive and celebrate that it has entered Board Game Geek’s Top 100; and then there’s Angela.
