#290: Mindclash Games

A review of So Very Wrong About Games, not actually by Werner Herzog: "To listen to SVWAG is to court madness. One host is beholden to the delusion that if he utters sufficient words in a short period of time he may stave off his inevitable death, whereas the other grapples with the false consciousness of refusing to acknowledge life's meaninglessness. Collectively their banter serves as a cruel rebuke to evolution, a bitter mockery of humanity's purported superiority over a nature they despise and denigrate. It is reason's death rattle in the face of pure chaos. Thank you for recommending Rhino Hero Super Battle, I enjoyed it with my family very much. Four stars." 01:20 AYURIS: Agricola (Uwe Rosenberg, Lookout Games, 2007) and Agricola (Revised Edition) (Uwe Rosenberg, Lookout Games, 2016) Games Played Last Week: 04:25 -Ceres (Gustaf Sundström, Artipia Games, 2023) 10:22 -Daybreak (Matt Leacock & Matteo Menapace, CMYK, 2023) 13:59 -Raising Robots (Brett Sobol & Seth Van Orden, Nauvoo Games, 2023) 16:02 -Demon Ship (Malev Da Shinobi, Black Site Studios, 2023) 19:58 -Hyperborea (Andrea Chiarvesio & Pierluca Zizzi, Asterion, 2014) 26:19 -Vaalbara (Olivier Cipière, Studio H, 2022) 29:03 -Septima: Shapeshifting & Omens (Robin Hegedűs, Mindclash Games, 2023) News (and why it doesn't matter): 36:45 Preview of Phantom Division Relaunch on Gamefound 38:24 French Revolution! 1793 Patriots & Traitors on Gamefound  39:21 Redevelopment of Omen: A Reign of War from John Clowdus and Small Box Games next year 40:16 Topic: Mindclash Games Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
