Episode 82.2 - Imaginary Games, Part 2

Hi folks! This month we conclude our review of our favorite games that don't exist. Or at least didn't used to. Look, it makes more sense if you just listen to the episode. And don't worry - whatever you thought you heard at the end of last episode, Joe is fine and has definitely not been implanted with a government mind-control chip.

Contents include but are not limited to:

• The soundtrack to The Last Starfighter: The Musical!
• One possible rule set for George R.R. Martin's fantasy chess-alike, Cyvasse.
• A quick look at the board games of Widow's Bay.

Are there any books, movies, or TV shows that made up a board game you'd like to play for real? What classics did we miss? Come visit our Discord server to chat with us and other like-minded game nerds!

As always, thank you for listening. Please consider writing us an iTunes review if you like what you hear! We'd also love to have you visit our website and let us know what kinds of games we should discuss next. You're also more than welcome to comment on the episode page, or our Discord, or our Facebook page, or tag @ascentofboardgames on Bluesky. Whatever way you prefer to share your opinions with us, we'd love to hear them.  As always, we appreciate your listening - stay safe out there, and happy gaming!
