#314: Leviathan Wilds

After a prolonged period where we have not discussed Kramer & Kiesling (the Kramer & Ulrich duo yielded El Grande, which we mention rather frequently), here we see a bumper krop of K&K kollaborations. The gibbons are fickle, and even the mighty Wolfgang and Michael must yield to their whims. But fortune (and apes) have at last smiled on them, and we revel in the classic Euro goodness as well as their more recent offering.Games Played Last Week:01:05 -Monikers (Alex Hague and Justin Vickers, CMYK, 2015)05:34 -Java (Michael Kiesling and Wolfgang Kramer, Ravensburger, 2000)11:31 -Tikal (Michael Kiesling and Wolfgang Kramer, Ravensburger, 1999)13:31 -Wandering Towers (Michael Kiesling and Wolfgang Kramer, ABACUSSPIELE, 2022)18:30 -Morgan's Magic Map (Gian Andrea Cappuzzo, Rio Grande Games, 2023)20:17 -Tiny Towns (Peter McPherson, Alderac Entertainment Group, 2019)22:08 -Sniper Elite: The Board Game (Roger Tankersly & David Thompson, Rebellion Unplugged, 2022)25:43 -Earthborne Rangers (Andrew Fischer, Brooks Flugaur-Leavitt, Andrew Navaro, Adam Sadler, and Brady Sadler, Earthborne Games, 2023)35:57 -Through the Desert (Reiner Knizia, Allplay, 2024)38:34 -Mythwind (Nathan Lige and Brendan McCaskell, Open Owl Studios, 2023)44:41 -Tapple (Uncredited, The Op Games, 2021)46:04 -G.I.

Om Podcasten

A podcast about all manner of hobby games by Mike Walker and Mark Bigney. Bad games don't go easy on you, so we don't go easy on them. Thorough analysis via reviews, news, and discussion of topics in gaming. We take context seriously, we value your time, and we're not into hype. Just because games are fun doesn't mean we can't take them seriously, and just because we take them seriously doesn't mean we can't have fun.
