Covenant and Golem plus Spiel des Jahres predictions

It’s another “lagniappe” episode of the Gumbo podcast with Mitchell Prudhomme, the director of Southern Board Game Fest! 

First, Mitchell regales us with tales of his big game day with Doug and friends, including an epic play of Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship!

BJ and Mitchell also dish on two recent games that they both have played: 

• Golem, a game from the Italian krewe that is getting a lot of recent plays
• Covenant, a new game from Devir with an interesting theme and lots of combos

There's a little bit of lagniappe in this episode -- BJ and Mitchell compete to predict one game that they guarantee will be nominated for Spiel des Jahres and Kennerspiel! Those German game of the year awards generate a lot of discussion with the Acadiana board gamers. 

Finally, we throw in our choices for ENVIE game this week!  Mitchell and BJ chat about the games that they really, really, really want to play next.  With a twist! 

Sit back with a cold Augustiner Helles, and a plate of some Jägerschnitzel, and enjoy another episode of Lagniappe from Board Game Gumbo!

Laissez les bon temps rouler!
