#357: Post-Easter Update

While we pride ourselves in playing more games in a week than many play in a month, when we take a week away from the SVWAG studio we often face a truly herculean backlog of games to discuss. This two-week period is no exception. Rest assured, we would never leave our dear listeners in the lurch, so we will keep you updated so you need not miss a thing.01:00 AYURIS: Race to the Raft (Frank West, The City of Games, 2023)Games Played Last Week:03:40 -Knarr (Thomas Dupont, Bombyx, 2023)06:42 -Quin (Brian Rooney and Taeleen Woodard, Arch & Gravity Publishing, 2024)11:41 -Slay the Spire: The Board Game (Gary Dworetsky, Anthony Giovannetti, and Casey Yano, Contention Games, 2024) 14:47 -Gùgōng: Pànjūn (Andreas Steding, Game Brewer, 2020)22:00 -Skull (Hervé Marly, Asmodee, 2011)24:09 -Space Gits (Mike Hutchinson, Planet Smasher Games, 2025)30:06 -Bad Company (Kenneth Minde, Kristian Amundsen Østby, and Eilif Svensson, Aporta Games, 2021)34:44 -Rebirth (Reiner Knizia, Mighty Boards, 2024)36:48 -Tír na nÓg (Isaac Shalev & Jason Slingerland, Grand Gamers Guild, 2024)38:51 -Let's Go!

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.
