Every wanted to fly around space stopping in at cool orbital facilities? How about competing for territories on a new planet whilst discovering alien tech? Throw in a bit of space piracy for some nasty fun and you have Alien Frontiers.
Alien Frontiers takes you into a retro sci-fi world that eloquently combines luck and strategy. Join us to hear our thoughts on this clever gem of a game.
On the fifth day of Christmas my true love sent to me…
Five golden dice
Four filler games
Three meeples
Two expansion packs
And a Board Game with a Christmas Theme
Okay, thankfully we don’t actually sing in this episode but we are getting into the spirit with potential Christmas themed expansions. Well, sort of. Our spirit takes a weird turn in this special Christmas episode of All Mana of Things.
At the start of this year we launched this podcast as a bit of fun for ourselves. We love board games and we love talking about board games so it made sense. We wanted to create a podcast that would be useful to others, with methodical reviews, as well as entertaining, with ridiculous rambles.
Earlier this month we reached over 2000 downloads for the year, far surpassing our simple expectations. We don’t know what counts as a successful podcast, but we know that for us, this was a hugely satisfying moment.
Reflecting on that, we have created an episode of satisfying moments in board games for this ramble. While it is generally satisfying to win there are often moments within games that are also quite satisfying. Find out what we think these are in this celebratory ramble edition of All Mana of Things.
