13:40 - GAME REVIEWS

 

Hoyuk (Mage Company)

In Höyük, each player represents a clan that settles with other clans to erect a village. During the game, a replica of a Neolithic settlement will be built on the Höyük board using tiles that represent houses. Many additional pieces — such as ovens, shrines, and pens — will also aid a player in building his settlements.

 

Tiny Epic Kingdoms (Gamelyn Games)

In Tiny Epic Kingdoms, a 4x fantasy game in a pocket-size package, each player starts with a unique faction (which has a unique technology tree) and a small territory. Throughout the game, players collect resources, explore other territories, battle each other, research magic, and work to build a great tower to protect their realm.

Red 7 (Asmadi Games)

The rules of Red are simple: Highest Card Wins! But Red is just one of seven games you’ll be playing. If you’re not winning the current game at the end of your turn, you’re out! And the last person standing wins the round. Red 7's deck is 49 cards: each of the colors of the rainbow numbered 1 to 7. A hand takes just a couple minutes!

Villainy (Mayfair Games)

Villainy is a game about being an aspiring super villain who is trying to make your mark in the world. In Villainy you are trying to be the first villain to complete three plans to beat Fantastiman, that pesky super-hero who watches over the city day and night. You must hire minions to aid you in your quest for world domination. You will have to do crimes and go to work as your alter ego to learn the skills necessary and gain the cards required to see your great plans through to their triumphant end.

29:57 - QUESTION OF THE EPISODE

"Which mass market games do you guys still enjoy playing?"

 

38:50 - GAME SPOTLIGHT(s)

 

DemonSlayer: The Seige of Mt. Kulun

Demonslayer is a Deck Building game from new boardgame publisher EOS Press. Each player takes control of one Sect of the Kunlun Immortals, and they must compete with each other in defeating the dread forces of the Heart-Eaters. By defeating the Heart-Eaters, each player accumulates Cultivation. At the end of the game, once all the Heart-Eaters are defeated, the player with the most Cultivation is the winner.

 

A Touch of Evil: Dark Gotic

 

It's another Deck Building game! This one comes from Flying Frog and is set in their A Touch of Evil universe. Each player represents a particular monster-hunting hero in the game, and that hero determines the player's starting deck and grants a special ability. The heroes work together to some degree to defeat villains and monsters as they collectively lose the game if ten cards land in the shadows during play. That said, the game has only a single winner – the player who has the most investigation points at the end of the game.

   16:20 - QUESTION OF THE EPISODE

"How do you guys decide what goes into each episode?"

 

20:33 - GAME SPOTLIGHT

Heroes of Normandie

 From Devil Pig and Iello Games, Heroes of Normandie is a fast-paced WW2 strategy wargame inspired by Hollywood war movies. A tactical scale board-game opposing two players and two armies, with the Germans on one side and the Americans on the other. Players use order tokens to determine initiative and to bluff. While a single six-sided die determines combat, action cards are played to spice things up. We break down the game like always and tell you what we think!

 

  40:46 - Out of the Box

 Super NES  vs. Sega Genesis!

Well maybe not so much of a "vs." as it is a comparison. We talk about both of these great 16 bit systems, some of the best titles of each, and which one stands up today. Ofcourse it wouldn't be an episode of NJAGP if we didn't stray off the rails and touch on some of the other systems from our childhoods! From Altered Beast to Mario Cart, this one is sure to be fun!
