#356: Endgame Scoring

Tiebreakers are arguably a kind of endgame scoring. I respect the fact that they are invariably necessary (I mean, if for no other reason than if they're omitted some smartass like me will complain). That said, clearly if the scoreboard goes to 200+ I don't imagine we'll be hauling out the second tiebreaker condition all that much. Frequently the endgame conversion of resources to points already serves as a tiebreaker anyway.  01:48 AYURIS: Nidavellir (Serge Laget, GRRRE Games, 2020) Games Played Last Week: 04:57 -FlickFleet (Jackson Pope & Paul Willcox, Eurydice Games, 2018) 11:55 -Slay the Spire: The Board Game (Gary Dworetsky, Anthony Giovannetti, and Casey Yano, Contention Games, 2024)  14:21 -Altay: Dawn of Civilization (Paolo Mori & Ole Steiness, Ares Games, 2024) 17:19 -Wizards of the Grimoire: Shifting Sands (Cole Banning & Joe Banning, Grimoire Games, 2025) 21:23 -Risk 2210 A.D.: Frontline (Mike Gills, Renegade Game Studios, 2025) 32:57 -Calimala (Fabio Lopiano, Alley Cat Games, 2024) 37:20 -Ransom Notes: House Party Edition (Josh Roberts, Evan and Josh's Very Special Games Company, 2023) 40:16 -Leviathan Wilds (Justin Kemppainen, Moon Crab Games, 2024) 42:57 -Regicide (Paul Abrahams, Luke Badger, & Andy Richdale, Badgers from Mars, 2020) News (and why it doesn't matter): 45:15 New Meltwater by Capstone Games 46:19 Open registration for SVWAG Con (July 25th-July27th) on Eventbrite! https://tinyurl.com/25s6p5jd 47:24 Topic: Endgame Scoring Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
