We'll make you a deal - you download and listen to this episode, and we'll tell you about some of our favorite (and least favorite) negotiation games. As an added bonus, we've gotten our sound quality back to something that should be close to our pre-COVID levels, and we'll throw that in for free. (Thanks to Craig Shipman at the Third Floor Wars podcast for the suggestion that got us there - if you're at all interested in miniature skirmish gaming, that is a show you will definitely want to check out!)
We also answer some age-old questions:
- Who is Dan Baden's b*tch, and how did he earn that title?
- What game does Frank call "The Box of Being Mean To Each Other"?
- And, of course, what combination of Dune rules do we play with?
- Advanced Faction Abilities: Yes
- Collections Bonus: Yes
- Advanced Combat: No
- Expanded Treachery: No
- Diversified Victory: No
- Main Leaders: No
- Playing with Two or Three: God no, why would you do that?
A few other items of interest from this month:
- Several good sites for playing Diplomacy online, so you don't tick off your real-world friends.
- The symbolism-laden box cover art for the German version of Junta.
- A brilliantly-blinged-out crew for Lifeboats.
As always, we appreciate your listening and would love to hear your comments on any or all of these items, and especially a review on iTunes if you have the time and inclination!
