#299: Nucleum

The theory of the atom first posited by the pre-Socratic philosopher Democritus in roughly the 4th Century BCE. None of his actual writings have survived. The great thing about the pre-Socratics is that so few of their works are available, you can spend about ten minutes (or less!) and have read as much of their stuff as have the world's leading experts.  Games Played Last Week: 01:53 -Kingdom Rush: Elemental Uprising (Alara Cameron, Helana Hope, and Sen-Foong Lim, Lucky Duck Games, 2023) 04:15 -Assault on Doomrock: Ultimate Edition (Tom Stasiak, Beautiful Disaster Games, 2023) 06:43 -Caverna: The Cave Farmers (Uwe Rosenberg, Lookout Games, 2013) 07:22 -Hidden Leaders (Andreas Müller, Markus Müller, & Raphael Stocker, BFF Games, 2022) 08:28 -AQUA: Biodiversity in the Oceans (Dan Halstad and Tristan Halstad, Sidekick Games, 2024) 13:05 -Project: ELITE (Konstantinos Kokkinis, Marco Portugal, & Sotirios Tsantilas, CMON, 2020) 16:54 -Lacuna (Mark Gerrits, CMYK, 2023) 19:33 -5 Towers (Kasper Lapp, Deep Print Games, 2023) News (and why it doesn't matter): 24:05 Kemet: Rise of the Gods reprint with additional modules on crowdfunding soon from Matagot 25:11 Burned on Kickstarter February 13 from Stone Circle Games and Jon Moffat 25:52 Wandering Galaxy: new Crossroads game from Plaid Hat Games 26:52 Feature Game: Nucleum (Simone Luciani & Dávid Turczi, Board&Dice, 2023) Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
