Episode 320: Get Ready for the Fallout!

Oh happy day! Today we are joined by our old old friend Luke! Kidding aside, LG is back up and running and bringing us a review of Cabinet of Curiosities and Eminent Domain. Additionally, we talk DRAGOON, The Death of Stalin, Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Mission: Impossible – Fallout. It’s a return to the normal with an injection of the current. Bless.

Dragoon has fast become one of our favourite games since picking it up at UKGE this year. The rules are really easy to learn and to teach and we find it scales well between 2 and 4 players (though the dynamic definitely changes with more players as there’s even more competition and destruction). The quality of the components is outstanding and I love that the boards are fabric and the playing pieces are metal. It’s all really tactile and beautiful. As far as gameplay is concerned, it’s very simple to learn but there are lots of actions available which means there’s still a strategy element on top of the luck of dice rolls. Who else has played Dragoon? What are your thoughts? . . . . . . . . . . . #dragoon #playdragoon #dragon #dragons #dragoongoldedition #laywastegames #ukge #ukgamesexpo #gamesexpo #gamedemo #boardgame #boardgamecomponents #boardgames #boardgaming #beautifulboardgames #boardgameart #tilelaying #dicerolling #areacontrol #strategygame #strategygames #dragoongame #laywaste #humaninvasion @laywastegames
