Summary

In our most hungover and rambling episode yet, we discuss cute games with cute animals. How do we feel about the natural world of Cascadia? Is it the perfect chill gateway game - and how does it compare to other tile and meeple placement GREATS like Carcassone and Alhambra? We meander towards the Panda-centric Takenoko and chat about how "cuteness" and theme can make or break a game. Join us on this fairytale trek into boardgame nonsense! Hosted on Acast.

    I Know What You Played Last Summer - Ep18

    Release Date: 09/25/2023

    Description: As the last of the summer sun sets beyond an idyllic beach, the Board With Finns crew carefully pack away their hawaiian shirts and tasteful swimwear, and head back to the studio. On this episode we discuss the board games that we played while sipping margharitas and grilling makkara. Did Iita forget about Port Royal or simply repress the memories? Simon talks about the simple but lonely joy of raising exotic birds and learning their tongue in Wingspan. As is his way, Tom discusses the graphical design nightmare, but incredible Vegasy game, Lords of Vegas, with the added bonus that it is completely impossible to buy. No one has more of an eye on the average board game consumer than Board With Finns! #PortRoyal #Wingspan #LordsOfVegas #RicochetRobots Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
