Andor, Akropolis, and K3 - Ep166

Andor is Disney+’s new Star Wars series and it’s a fantastic Brechtian political spy drama that doesn’t rely on lightsabers, K3 from Helvetiq is an abstract game that’s a cross of Chess, Connect 4, and programming, and Akropolis from Gigamic is a very quick tile laying boardgame we just love. Plus New Year’s resolutions and predictions for 2023 based on movies. 00:00 - What will 2023 bring? Let’s consult the movies! 03:52 - New Year’s Resolutions. 16:36 - K3 20:46 - Akropolis (also thanks to Play The Game HQ for their brilliant guide) 29:29 - Andor 46:42 - 2022 and Soylent Green All that, and doubtful space elevators, with Dan (@ThisDanFrost), Kris (@DigitalStrider), Peter (@XeroXeroXero), and Sam (@MrSamTurner).
