Episode 34 - Golden Gnomes

Iain has been trying to bring the Brainwaves garden under control but much to his annoyance has found the place overrun by wrestling Gnomes. Laying the blame squarely at the feet of Robbie Munn, Robbie joins Iain and Jamie on the cast as penance for his out of control Sumo Gnomes. We cover more awards, Golden Bell/ Unbroken Kickstarter, hirings, mergers and lawsuits. In Brainstorm we tackle the weighty issue of problematic themes in games.  Headlines Golden Bell/ Unbroken Kickstarter https://boardgamegeek.com/article/32704614#32704614 https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1227872561/unbroken-a-solo-game-of-survival-and-revenge Ennies http://www.ennie-awards.com/blog/2019-ennie-winners/ Diana Jones Award https://twitter.com/dianajonesaward?lang=en https://bullypulpitgames.com/ https://dreadthegame.wordpress.com/about-dread-the-game/   News Ross O’Connell joins Alleycat Games https://twitter.com/moregamespls/status/1159892361373192197?s=20 https://www.moregamesplease.com/ https://www.alleycatgames.com/ Wil Wheaton Sues Geek & Sundry https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/wil-wheaton-sues-geek-sundry-web-series-profits-1229358?fbclid=IwAR3J00V-aN3_Il0u-4AKp5dgwPd4lGGtHrTZI-C7zhwN60OAnJX0HNPWt58 Genius Games acquires Artana Games https://icv2.com/articles/news/view/43789/genius-games-acquires-artana Pokemon Cards sell at auction https://goldinauctions.com/1999_Pokemon_1st_Edition_PSA_GEM_MT_10_Complete_Se-lot51339.aspx   Brainstorm https://ospreypublishing.com/undaunted-normandy https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/3076/puerto-rico https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/01/style/board-games-cancel-culture.html?action=click&module=Editors+Picks&pgtype=Homepage&fbclid=IwAR0KN7lxmzlKmLpF-fenlAG7ugSWPw2sqPloJFgUfOeJGVAuY4cp6KDN-o4 Outro Monopoly Socialism https://intl.target.com/p/parody-monopoly-socialism-board-game/-/A-76151691 Bar bill paid with Monopoly money https://www.thinkspain.com/news-spain/31696/irish-tourists-use-monopoly-money-to-pay-bar-bill Tabletop Scotland https://tabletopscotland.co.uk/ Patreon https://www.patreon.com/thegiantbrain https://www.facebook.com/luckysparrowgamescafe/ Our Guest - Robbie Munn Twitter - https://twitter.com/Gumley Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/gumley/?hl=en Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/PeculiarityUK/ Website - http://www.peculiarity.co.uk/ Email - [email protected] Contact Us Twitter - https://twitter.com/thegiantbrain Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/giantbrainuk/ Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/thegiantbrain/ Website – http://www.giantbrain.co.uk/ Email – [email protected]
