#260: The Game Must Flow

We get introspective this week, or at least as much as the editorial gibbons allow. If we get too deep they get nervous, and as every podcaster will tell you, nervous gibbons are bad for the show. Walker, Mark alleges, is a masochist who sacrifices himself on the altar of speed, which may or may not mean game flow; Walker counters that Mark abuses the takesies-backsies.  01:50 AYURIS: Imperium: Classics and Imperium: Legends (Nigel Buckle & Dávid Turczi, Osprey Games, 2021) Games Played Last Week: 06:13 -XenoShyft: Dreadmire (Michael Shinall, CMON, 2017) 11:24 -Raccoon Tycoon (Glenn Drover, Forbidden Games, 2018) 16:01 -Dwellings of Eldervale (Luke Laurie, Breaking Games, 2020) 20:37 -Code of Nine (BakaFire, Z-Man Games, 2012) 22:47 -Akropolis (Jules Messaud, Gigamic, 2022) 25:47 -Ortus Regni (Jon Sudbury, Jon Sudbury Games, 2014) 29:11 -Rallyman: DIRT (Jean-Christophe Bouvier, Holy Grail Games, 2023) 38:21 -Resist!
