Scythe and Jamey Stegmaier

We have taken corrective action for having Scythe https://stonemaiergames.com/games/scythe/ on the shelf of shame for months (years?) -- we have finally cracked the "Big Box" open and absolutely destroyed it with replays. And what better way to atone for our transgression by bringing the designer, G.O.A.T., Richmond hometown hero, and President of Stonemaier Games https://stonemaiergames.com, Jamey Stegmaier to the Undercroft for a little conversation? This is big show folks -- big laughs, bigger guest, all heart. This is one for the books (and a fitting way to ring in our 1 year show anniversary).

Illiterati

If you were at @gen_con or are currently in lines for @spiel_essen -- stop by the @gapclosergames booth and grab a copy of Illiterati (and upgrades if they have them!) -- we were lucky enough to get a pre-release copy and started taking it to the streets to show our area, and now, for your ears, are dropping the show to rave about it. Mulitple plays, never the same, and never boring. A 1-5 player cooperative word game set in a dystopian world where reading is words are maligned, this is an absolutely beautiful game that would make an incredible gift for the bookish in your life.

Welcome to the Maiden Voyage of Orthogonally Adjacent

The first episode of the new series Orthogonally Adjacent sets the stage with your hosts and location. In their debut, the boys discuss their background in life and gaming and detail the types of games you can expect loved (or panned) by each in the future. We kept our filters on this time, so the kick-off is a show for everyone.  We also discuss Chaos, lots and lots of Chaos. If you’re new to board and card gaming, or have no idea what half of those games are in the adult section of your favorite big box store, then we're here to help (mostly).  Like and subscribe to get the latest episodes when they become available, and follow us on Instagram at @orthogonally_adjacent_pod for more gaming goodness in the future.
