About this episode

In this episode, the hosts discuss various board games and a new organizational system called the Walker Quint.

[EDIT] In this episode, Mark falsely attributes the co-authorship of Ayar to Nestore Mangone, when in fact it was designed by Mandela Fernandez-Grandon and Fabio Lopiano. We regret the error. Have you heard of the Walker Quint? This patent-pending, uncopyrightable system is more than just a game organizational schema--it is a multipurpose framework that will REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR LIFE in every way! It's more like a cult, really. Join us in following the Eternal Path of the Walker Quint. 01:43 AYURIS: Undaunted 2200: Callisto (Trevor Benjamin and David Thompson, Osprey, 2024) Games Played Last Week: 05:53 -Gold Country (Reiner Knizia, Bitewing Games, 2026) 09:45 -Bottle Imp (Günter Cornett, Grail Games, 2024) 15:27 -Las Vegas (Rüdiger Dorn, alea, 2012) 18:44 -Avalon: The Riven Veil (Jamie Jolly, Shadowborne Games, 2026) 28:06 -Tiletum (Simone Luciani and Daniele Tascini, Board&Dice, 2022) 32:53 -Baghdad: The City of Peace (Fabio Lopiano & Nestore Mangone, Alley Cat Games, 2025) 40:03 -Into the Machine (Kasper Lapp, AEG, 2026) 46:22 -Sentinels of the Multiverse: Definitive Edition (Christopher Badell & Adam Rebottaro, Greater Than Games, 2022) News (and why it doesn't matter)…
