I remember my first love. She was always the life of the party, constantly kept me guessing, and had more tuck boxes than you could shake a stick at.
Today we return to Gloomhaven with Jaws of the Lion. It's the same beast in a smaller box. We take a very deep look at what makes this game stand out and whether it holds up to its very significant weight. How does it land with players new to Gloomhaven? Will it inspire the same love in veteran players of the big box?
We also discuss board game mechanisms that are criminally underused. Mechanisms that deliver such wonderful tensions that you have to wonder why we don't see more of them. Seriously if I don't see a closed economy auction in one more boardgame then somebody's going to jail.
On another note, we are considering renaming our podcast to something that better fits our analytical and critical banter. If you have any name suggestions, please send them to pbflannery or maxlongstreet on www.boardgamegeek.com.
