Limited Play Time

It’s SPOoooooKY October, so we’re incidentally bringing you The Hunger, a game about vampires racing to bring flowers back to their castle! And maybe a few human blood-bags too. We super didn’t plan this for Halloween, but we’ll enjoy the horror themed appropriateness anyway. Get your deck building boots on because you’ll need ‘em to get through all the snow, swamps, hills, and graveyards in your way. By building a dope card deck.

Our galaxy has been reborn, again! This week we’re reviewing Eclipse: Second Dawn for the Galaxy, the second edition of the very popular Eclipse: New Dawn for the Galaxy! Put on your space suit and charge your warp cores, it’s an epic 4x space opera for the ultimate prize… Victory points!

It’s our GenCon wrap-up episode as we’re combining all of the RPG and board games we played on days 3 and 4 together in one episode! Games discussed in this episode include: Cosmic Frog by Deviant Weasel Games, Demon Hunters: A Comedy of Terrors, Factory 42 by Dragon Dawn Productions, Kemet: Blood and Sand by Matagot, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures: Change is Constant by IDW Games, Endeavor: Age of Sail by Burnt Island Games, and Furnace by Hobby World and Arcane Wonders!

We’re still alive on GenCon 2021 Day 2. We’ve been surviving on pizza, donuts, and immune boosters and we’re ready to talk (a little) about The Night Cage by Smirk & Laughter Games, Eclipse: Second Dawn for the Galaxy, and Cytosis: A Cell Biology Board Game by Genius Games!

It’s day 1 of GenCon 2021 and we’re masked, vaccinated, and ready to throw dice at zombies, vampires, and whatever else this convention can throw at us! We’re starting by discussing Skytear and Jiangshi: Blood in the Banquet Hall!

This week on Limited Play Time we’re talking about how much of our souls we’ve lost to Bloodborne the Board Game, another game by CMON. Is it the next big thing in dungeon crawling co-operative games? Maybe, but probably not.

What do YOU want to do with $110 this weekend? The answer MIGHT be “play Cthulhu: Death May Die!” But you’ll never know unless you listen to this review of the game! Set your sanity marker to 0 because we might drive you crazy with ANOTHER Cthulhu game!

This week we’re talking about our experience with Marvel United, the co-op Marvel Superheroes game from Spin Masters and CMON! It’s an EXPANSIVE game system with a LOT of content, and there’s currently an X-Men version in Later Funding mode, so give us a listen and see if you think it might be for you!

This week we’re going back and REVISING our personal Top Ten lists! Thing change, and they definitely have since 2018! It’s an extra-long episode with extra-many games to discuss, so get comfy and buckle-in. Games discussed in this episode include: Root, Hive, For Sale, Unmatched, Marvel Champions, Castles of Mad King Ludwig, Gloomhaven, The Castles of Burgundy, Power Grid, Kingdom Death: Monster, Mythic Battles: Pantheon, Twilight Imperium 4th Edition, Spirit Island, Memoir ‘44, Too Many Bones, Cthulhu Wars, Magic the Gathering, and War of the Ring.

This week we’re taking a look at another game from Bezier Games, Suburbia! Are you a fan of Sim City? Cities in general? Hexagons? Then Suburbia has something for you! We take a look at the game in general but also how it compares to its sibling game, The Castles of Mad King Ludwig.

This week we’re taking a look at Pax Pamir 2nd Edition, a game from Cole Wehrle, designer of Root! Pax Pamir portrays the 19th century conflict in Afghanistan referred to “The Great Game.” Will we consider Pax Pamir a “Great Game” after playing it? It’s complicated!

Gaze into the maw of madness and return to your terrestrial life prepared to… build… a castle. This week we’re talking about 2014’s Castles of Mad King Ludwig, a tile-laying, shape matching, set-collecting classic from Bezier Games!

This week we’re talking about Nemesis, the game where you try to evade lower case aliens who might try and fill your body with their eggs, or maybe just eat you! It’s a semi-cooperative romp through a playful spaceship full of horrors!

This week on Limited Play Time we’re talking about the Yahtzee-style battling game, Dice Throne! But wait, there’s also cards! And player boards! So much game in such a little package!

WE AWAKE FROM OUR SLUMBER DEEP BENEATH THE BLACK SURF AND BLOOD TINGED MOON TO BRING YOU TALES OF MAAAADNESSSSS! MANSIONS OF MADNESS, the co-op, app-driven board game from Fantasy Flight Games!

This week we’re taking a look at two digital adaptations of existing board games. Root and Roll for the Galaxy! Do they hold up as well as the physical games? Yes, it seems like they do. But listen to find out more!

This week we’re taking a look at the kickstarter for CMON’s Massive Darkness 2: Hellscape, the follow-up to 2017’s Massive Darkness. A game we reviewed a long time ago and felt good about with some caveats. We tried the demo out on Tabletop Simulator and are prepared to give you our VERY early impressions!

We discuss GenCon 2020, which was entirely online! 8 different games, 3 different gaming platforms, and how an online-only GenCon compared to the real thing!

It’s our 100th episode! To celebrate we’ve assembled a group to play Blood on the Clocktower! We’re giving it a second (and third) shot and hopefully giving our listeners some entertaining radio at the same time! Here’s to (hopefully?) the next 100!

Kyle had a baby, the Irish train we were still on went completely off the rails, and after two weeks we’re back on track with Marvel Champions! One of the hottest new games and definitely one that’s burning through wallets already, we’re excited to talk about WHY it’s worth the money to Kyle and whether or not it should be for you as well!
