#236: Dead Reckoning

Replete with a robust menagerie in this episode, we perhaps begin to see why anthropomorphic animals seem to feature in every other game lately. We have Dalmations (plus a cow named Doog trying to impersonate a Dalmation), horsies, goats, weasels and wombats (seldom do we see such an august alliteration!), meeses (not to be confused with mooses), and some needed stinkin' badgers. Not a great petting zoo, sure--of limited utility in a game of Ark Nova--but an impressive collection nonetheless.Games Played Last Week:02:05 -Spots (Alex Hague, Jon Perry, and Justin Vickers, CMYK, 2022)02:20 -Long Shot: The Dice Game (Chris Handy, Perplext, 2022)03:37 -Mountain Goats (Stefan Risthaus, BoardGameTables.com, 2020)06:10 -Mysterium Park (Oleksandr Nevskiy and Oleg Sidorenko, Libellud, 2020)09:08 -Oathsworn: Into the Deepwood (Jamie Jolly, Shadowborne Games, 2022)15:50 -Weasel-Tech (Ivan Sorensen, Nordic Weasel Games, 2021)21:22 -Hand-to-Hand Wombat (Matthew Inman, Elan Lee, & Cory O'Brien, Exploding Kittens, 2022)25:02 -Root: The Marauder Expansion (Nick Brachmann, Patrick Leder, Cole Wehrle, and Joshua Yearsley, Leder Games, 2022)28:45 -Capital Lux 2: Generations (Eilif Svensson & Kristian Amundsen Østby, Aporta Games, 2020)29:22 -I.S.S.
