Hi all! Sometimes you gotta be informal, amirite? I mean, there's the episode you prepare, you take notes for, and it ends up being mightily fine. Some other times you don't prepare for it, and the unique combination of naivety, earnestness and relaxation makes for something special... a special...
-
109: Archetypal Re-sources (Neta-tanka, Bubzium, The Old King's Crown)
In the end, we are all either Standees or Meeples. It's just that "meeple" is kind of trademarked. No, really, go checking if you need. Done? Well, welcome to episode 109 of The Last Standee Podcast! In the grand scheme of things, we belong to the standee category. Mostly copy-left, done with...

-
107: Two's Company, Three's a Crowd (2 Top 3)
Hello and welcome to episode 107! Which has been TAKEN OVER with a REFRESHING NEW course! What can I say, I love Cara's artistic direction. She got the perfect title for an episode where two people discuss two different top threes - a mini special, if you want. In these cases, courtesy dictactes...
-
106: Unquackable (Grimcoven, Dark Romance, Toy Battle, Unstoppable)
Sometimes, an episode recording goes south. Maybe it takes the entire episode or waits for the weekend, but it happens. There's no Last Standee anymore, only Unquackable. Do you expect me to write a synopsis of... this? Fine, I'll try. We begin with a Standee Catch-up, par for the course. Then…

105: Saturday Morning Cartoons (Trenchcoat Raccoons, Hot Streak, Magical Athlete)
Hello and welcome to episode 105 of The Last Standee Podcast! Nothing to say, you must be really, really patient with us to bear such confusion in episode descriptions if you are still there, but let me explain. I know the podcast is out on Mondays and it says "Saturday Morning", but if you go…

104: Card Combos, Cursed Critters (Eternal Decks, Here to Slay, King of Tokyo Duel)
A spooky welcome to Episode 104 of The Last Standee Podcast! This episode we explore curses, critters and cursed critters which also curse you! But let us get our curse-words (Inigo Montoya vibes here: you keep saying that word - I don't think it means what you think it means) sorted! First,...
-
103: Beer murdered the paradox (The Red Dragon Inn, Cara's Murder Mystery, Anachrony)
Hi Last Standee fans! Welcome to Episode 103! You know, sometimes it's difficult to find an episode title that feels smart and has a relevance to all the topics and it's not just cacophonic. I think this episode's title it's a testament to that. I went for a "Video killed the radio star" vibe…
more -
102: Those Obnoxious Aliens (Mother of Dragons, Senjutsu, Sidereal Confluence)
Hello and welcome to Episode 102 of The Last Standee Podcast! This is a "surprise 2" episode with Cara and Fen, where they go on a free-range chat about electric cars, the weather and shipping woes! Oh, but also boardgames - and we have a lot to say about those. Say you want an expansion? Then…
more -
101: Other Water (TTRPG talk)
Howdy, Last Standee fans! One day, some GENIUS suggested to do something about instruction manuals with Episode 101 (you know, because 101- got it? heh). Needless to say, that GENIUS was way too ahead of their time, and that proposal is not what this episode is about. Godspeed, beautiful he or…

100 - Tabletop Alien Triangle (Yes, it has been a while!)
Hello and welcome back to The Last Standee Podcast! It has been SIX MONTHS, but we are here! If you have a subscription, I take that you won't believe to the notification icon. Well, we are here. How was the world doing since we were away? On second thought, don't tell me, I'll check these 3407...

98: Fine Tidings (Twisted Realms, Unmatched:Sun's Origin & Slings and Arrows, Legacy of Yu)
Welcome to Episode 98 of The Last Standee Podcast! This is one where we have to apologize in advance for making you listen to Alessio for a feature-length episode. No, the team is still there. It's just that it's a mess sometimes to put together speakers geographically distant, and when illnesses...
-
97: The Roads We Dare to Table (Arydia, Faraway, Joyride)
Hello and welcome to Episode 97 of The Last Standee Podcast! In this episode, we TRAVEL! After the Standee Catch-up, Fen breaks ice by talking about a recently fulfilling pet project of ours from COVID times, aka Arydia: The Paths We Dare Tread, from the same author as Xia: Legends of a Drift...

95: Wolf for Sheep (Catan, Agent Avenue, KDS, Nova Aetas)
Hello, hello, hello! The storm went and passed through, and the team is back at work to provide you our best quality entertainment! ...which is an assessment of _our_ best quality, not best quality in general. Anyway! After the Standee Catch-up (guest star: Pamcha!), Cara leads the team into the...
-
94: True Solo (Eila and Something Shiny)
Welcome to Episode 94 of The Last Standee Podcast! From a certain perspective, this is a one-of-a-thing episode with fun twists and shenanigans. From another perspective, though, this is an episode where there's only Alessio. Feeling so alone that he added a text-to-speech track to keep him...
-
93: Blocks, Building (Catacombs Cubes, Tower Up)
Welcome to Episode 93 of The Last Standee Podcast! This episode we reach theatrical heights as we start up in comedy, trying to make an intro right; let's say that quickly turns into tragedy without pretty much of a warning. I mean, I hope you had fun listening at least half as much we had...
-
92: Ensorcelling Powers (Witchcraft: Moonlight Magic, Hegemony)
Wouldn't "ensorcelled" be a good "second E" in the outro? But I digress. Welcome to Episode 92 of The Last Standee Podcast!

Hi all and welcome to episode 84 of The Last Standee Podcast! And not just "any" episode - this is one episode from the A-Team (Alexis, Audrey and Alessio), or how we humbly call it, a triple-A episode (no seriously, why you keep following us?). After a catch-up with some news from the…
more -
83: The Groovy Ensemble (The Gig, Forest Shuffle, Banner Festival)
Hi all, ready to feel the groove with us? After the Standee Catch-up, Fen takes on the ouverture with the Gig. Now, I would really say that the Forest Shuffle, about which Audrey talks next, is a dance move, but I guess you'll have to listen to the episode to find out. The Finale is in the…

82: Egregious Edventure (Golden Bell Studio news, Cartaventura, Spots)
Am I the only one feeling sleepy in Spring? Welcome to episode 82 of The Last Standee Podcast - early Spring edition! In this episode in the sign of egregiousness (I swear, this is not AI-generated!) we start egregiously drifting aimlessly in lazy recollections with the Standee Catch-up, at the…

Argh, we're late! Again! Welcome to Episode 81 of The Last Standee Podcast! In this episode, our three chatty hosts/speakers have a long, winded Standee Catchup, then Fen leads the talk to the main course of the episode, ISS Vanguard - one of the latest fatigues from Awaken Realms, with the...
-
80: The Peculiar Plum Peninsula Puzzle (Plum Island Horror, Doomensions, Cara's Relaxing games)
At long last, episode 80! It always feels nice when we get to complete tens of episodes, doesn't it? Anyway (anyho), this episode begins with the usual catch-up, then we have Fen presenting The Plum Island Horror. Unsettling mysteries continue with Alexis talking about Pop-up Mystery Manor, until...
-
79: It takes Two (Sky Team, Pixel Tactics)
Welcome to episode 79 of The Last Standee Podcast! In our endless pursuit for aesthetical perfection, always striving for novelty, we bring you a... special? Is it the right word? Would it be better "weird"? Oh, it's yours to judge (definitely weird) episode, because that's a two-people…

-
77: The French episode
Welcome to Episode 77 of The Last Standee Podcast! This time, the content of the episode is a mystery. No, not because this is a mystery-themed episode (one day!), but because the francophones took over the episode! What will they be talking about? Are there even three people in the staff…

76: Embrace the Chaos (Crowdfunding roundup, Shadow Hunters, Combo Fighter)
Welcome to Episode 76 of The Last Standee Podcast! In this episode we trade common sense and decency for a hearty laugh - and that shows right away from the Catch-ups!

Boardgamers ahoy! ...or not quite, because we got exactly ONE game not fitting the sailing theme! Oh well, as they say: sometimes you eat the bear... This episode, after a Standee Catch-up which doubles as a PSA for animal care, Cara sets sail to distant shores into EOS: Island of Angels (which…

73: Not-a-stargate (News, Amun-Re, Legendary Encounters: Aliens)
Welcome to episode 73 of The Last Standee podcast! Yes, there will be space, aliens and ancient Egypt, and no, it's not a Stargate Episode. But we are getting ahead of ourselves now. As usual, we begin with our Standee Catch-up among Alexis, Fen and Alessio. With that done, it's time to go…

72: Keep an Epic Peace (Keep the Heroes Out, Dawn of Peacemakers, Tiny Epic Pirates)
Welcome to Episode 72 of The Last Standee Podcast! It has been a pretty egregious vacation, albeit a very belated one, but we are now here in full swing to bring to your table our opinions of what we brought to our table (an example of traditional Hobbit speech). We usually compose titles with…

63: Outer Space Loves Tuckboxes (Love Letter, Tokaido Duo, AE: Legacy, Astro Knights)
Why tuckboxes? I'm afraid this will be a mystery, like the name of the designer of Love Letter. But don't fret, all shall be answered within the episode.
