BJ and Steve welcome in a double dose of awesome guests on Episode 143! This time, it's Mike Grade, founder of Rock Manor Games (and designer of Lawyer Up!) and Clarence Simpson, designer of the hit game amongst the Gumbo Krewe, The Wolves!
We reviewed:
- The Quacks of Quedlinberg
- Wander Towers
And there is a heaping helping of Southern Board Game Fest advertise---errr---news sprinkled all over the show. Lots of inside baseball? Sure, but the Chat Krewe is bubbling with excitement about the best board game convention south of Vidrine, Louisiana!
But wait there's more!
The big feature was a deep dive into MERCHANTS OF MAGICK, and the two brand new expansions hitting Kickstarter this week from Rock Manor Games! Mike and Clarence tell us about the development, give us insights into the game process, and talk about all the new content!
And finally, it's not Gumbo Live! unless we play a game with the Chat Krewe -- this time Steve and I and Clarence go head-to-head with Mike Gnade's brain, in THE ENVIE GAME. But there's a shocking twist as to the winner! You'll have to listen to the Chat Krewe's contributions to believe it!
Merchants of Magick expansions crowdfunding project is on Kickstarter right now and has already funded: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mikegnade/merchants-of-magick-dangerous-business
Thanks for listening!
