In this episode of The Long View, I'm pleased to be joined once again by Martin G as we discuss the fascinating new title Wir sind das Volk!. What makes this game so interesting? Is it thematic or abstract? Is there replay ability in this little box? Is this another game that can teach you something while you play? What makes it so compelling to the two of us? Tune in and find out as Martin and I attempt to answer all of these questions and more.

As a bonus, I review a set of new titles including Forge War at the 1:09:00 mark of the episode. What new ideas does this game bring? Will miners really not work in large numbers? How hard can it be to make a mace, and why is copper so worthless? Last I saw, people were stripping it from houses to make a fortune! Find the answers to these questions and more in this review!

In addition, I review two new card games, Elevenses and One Zero One from David Harding Down Under! Can a red blooded, grown man from the United States possibly enjoy a game about throwing a tea party? Do you want to revisit the era of the "C" prompt and writing lines of code for fun? The answers to these questions may surprise you in a Downton Abbey kind of way! Tune in and find out! These reviews can be found at the 1:30:00 mark of the episode.

Thanks for listening!
