The latest episode of the Strange Assembly podcast is now available for download. The crew takes a look back at the games and gaming last year, including naming our unofficial ‘Game of the Year’ from 2013 – Viticulture.
Strange Assembly – Episode 124 – Sally
So, after editing the episode, I realize that we didn’t really do a great job talking about the games we were identifying as the best of 2013 (of what we’ve played so far), just sort of assuming that you’ve listened to prior episodes where we talked about those games, rather than giving them more discussion anew. So below you can find links to where we’ve discussed each of the named games before:
Unofficial Game of the Year – Viticulture (Chris, Jay and Mike) – Audio Review in Episode 101
Trains (Chris) – Audio Review in Episode 103 and written review
Pathfinder Adventure Card Game (Mike) – Audio Review in Episode 113
Coup (Jay) – Audio Review in Episode 121 and written review
Star Realms (Chris) – Audio Review in Episode 122 and written review
Eldritch Horror (Mike) – wait until next time
We’re literally sending the Viticulture files for the second print run to the printer this weekend…I’m tempted to have my designer slap on a badge that says, “Strange Assembly 2013 Game of the Year.” 🙂
If I thought we mattered enough for you to be serious, I’d tell you we’d be happy to work with you on a badge. Because it’s not like we’ve got one. 🙂
I actually floated the idea to my designer this morning for you all and a few other blogs that put Viticulture on their 2013 top 10 lists. Let me see what she says. It’s pretty late in the process, so I’m not sure if she’ll want to work with icons or if she would just prefer to list the names of the blogs.
