Remember way back at the beginning of the year when we took some bets on what we thought the games of the year were gonna be? Well, all those good and bad decisions are back to help or haunt us, as we tally up where things stand with the end of the year results. Before we find a winner, we talk about Wriggle Roulette, Whale Street, and Scales of Fate.
One, two, three, four, five, everybody in the car so come on let’s ride … to the mailbag! We’re answering your pressing questions – and oh how they press – about all manner of things: Crowdfunding ads! Narrative games! Getting jaded about board games! You wrote in because you had to know what we thought, and who are we to say no. Before we get covered in papercuts, we talk about Wheedle, Dune: War for Arrakis, and Transgalactica.
Okay, pay attention, this is gonna be different! We’re looking at the rest of 2025, deciding what we think the most well received games of the year are going to be – but then we’re going to be bidding on them, auction style. Whoever’s slate ends up performing best in their categories at the end of the year gets all the glory … and if you vote on who you think is going to win, you could get $50! Before we’re going, going, gone, we talk about Nyakuza, Hooky, and Altay: Dawn of Civilization.
