In this week's episode, we share a couple more interviews from our Excellent GenCon Adventure. But first, Tom shares a funny story from the world of obsessive gameplay and Pokemon GO. Turns out Myron’s crazy broken arm bike riding story isn’t the worst example of obsessive Pokemon GO gameplay, as a man in Washington was recently pulled over for playing on 8 phones while driving. The team discusses what goes wrong when people take their gaming to absurd and sometimes, dangerous, extremes.
After the laughs from the realm of absurd gaming news, the team moves on to the GenCon interviews with Starling Games and Funko Games. Beginning with Brenna from Starling Games, we get an introduction to the beautiful world of Everdell and the new Pearlbrook expansion. Brenna gives an overview of the new worker types, citizens, resources and sideboard addition to the original game. Anna is intrigued to find out more about the new structures called Wonders which are like the Events from the original game, but are worth up to 25 points. Listen in to find out more about the exciting changes introduced with the Pearlbrook expansion.
Next up is Stephanie with Funko Games to discuss the new Funkoverse Strategy Game that debuted at GenCon. JT was so excited for the blending of her Funko obsession with board gaming that she waited in long will-call lines to be one of the first to play the game (and of course bought most of the game sets). Stephanie walks us through how they selected the starting sets of Funko Pop! characters and what might be on the horizon for future releases. JT is quite excited to play a mashup between Harry Potter and Golden Girls characters, and Myron wants to make custom powers so he can play with Mad Moxxi and Hillary Clinton. With the huge arsenal of Funko Pop! characters available the possibilities seem endless.
