Episode 16 - Halloween Special
from The Ascent of Board Games · host The Ascent of Board Games
Boo! Episode 16 is here a day early, because Halloween! To celebrate our favorite holiday, we play The Gothic Game, an extremely random game of murder and mayhem set in the Otranto Castle and Spa (try the deep-exfoliating moat!). It's a wild ride featuring dangerous snakes, bad prunes, Frank's wife Sandi, and a last-minute twist that determines the ultimate winner! Because the game was relatively short (and also, let's be honest, maybe not the most exciting thing to listen to), we also included a discussion of some of our favorite creepy, crawly Halloweeny games, including several from Sandi's amazing collection of 1970s occult kids' games. Things mentioned this episode that you might want to check out on the interwebs: The Kickstarter for the newly revamped version of The Gothic Game. The tiny custom record player from Seance The Kickstarter for Oathsworn: Into the Deepwood, which several of us are really excited about. Jayson recreating his fate in the Gothic Game (spoilers!) As always, we appreciate your listening and wold love to hear your comments on any or all of these sources, and especially a review on iTunes if you have the time and inclination!
