Three Moves Ahead 475:

Gerykon 2019: Reiner Knizia Games
The Tehran Conference. The meeting at Appomattox. The Council of Elrond. All historical gatherings that pale in comparison to the summit that occurred in late July 2019 as the Three Moves Ahead team gathered in Oregon for several days of gaming. Hosted by Dr. Bruce Geryk, Gerykon 2019 was attended by Michael Hermes, Rob Zacny, and Troy "I hope they let me back into Canada" Goodfellow. Bruce played the part of eccentric board game sommelier, guiding the group through several layers of gaming history. Our first episode about Gerykon 2019 covers several entries from Reiner Knizia, a household name among those in the know. From the dizzying heights of Ra and Modern Art to the baffling lows of Beowulf, we consumed great amounts of scotch and had many discussions about game design and strategy. Also, Rob made up a really gross name for a painting.

Modern Art, Ra, Tigris & Euphrates, Lost Cities, Lord of the Rings

So last time Rob really meant "next week"!

 

Always nice to hear Dr. Bruce Geryk greeting even if I usually don't know anything about those boardgames. Tom Chick was also mentioned, sad he's not appearing here anymore.

Sad that it's been a while since we last heard of Tom Chick and Julian Murdoch. It was good to see both Hermes and Bruce back.

 

A very pleasant episode to listen to. Bruce's insight into boardgames always makes for an interesting discussion.

 

Could we have a link for the PDF version of Hermes' bar graph or will we have to wait for him to publish that paper?
