This week Julius tells us about the Lookout Games city building game, NEOM. It's a game about building a futuristic city but really it's a tile drafting game like 7 Wonders but with tile placement.

This week we talk about the (cozy?) game of animal crime fighting. This game is set in the Edwardian world of Sherlock Holmes. You are a mixed group of animals trying to solve animal crimes happening in and around Baker Street. It's a fun little game that is more akin to a Choose Your Own Adventure book than anything else.

Julius is back! To celebrate, we talk about rondel games, a subject he is much more familiar with than I. We explore a few games that feature Rondels. As usual, I try to stretch that definition a bit.

This week I bring Lord the Rings the Card Game from Fantasy Flight back to the table. This is a game that honestly, is often on the table. It's by far my most played game. I enjoy the deck construction and fun adventures of this game. It's still a great time to get into the game too.

• Lord of the Rings: LCG (BGG, FFG)
• A Long-extended Party (aLeP) free third-party content for the game

This week Julius is out so I have my very own dream quest as I talk about the game In Dreams by Jamie Thul & Mike Berg. It's an interesting little solo journaling game using a deck of unique cards and a little bit of AI magic.

• In Dreams (BGG, Side Room Games, PnP Arcade)

This week Julius and I go out on a limb and talk about miniatures gaming. Turns out this isn't a subject we really know much about so we struggle to come up with some good examples of it. Still, I think the episode is useful if you are curious about miniatures gaming and want to find out a bit about what that is.
