  • Memoir '44
    Jun 2 2024

    Fall in, soldiers! It's time to slap a green helmet on, grab a rifle and go see what's going on in Europe. Andrew and Pete have played a lot of this WWII version of Richard Borg's Command & Colors system, and it's about time they talked about it.

    Plus, they are joined by beloved designer of the Undaunted series, War Chest and more, David Thompson! War, D&D, input and output randomness. The three of us cover it all.

Capstone Games' new Match of the Century is an entry in their 2-player card-driven historical games, this time dealing with the 1972 World Championship chess match between Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky. It's a story full of fascinating tidbits of real occurrences, but does it make for the inspiration of a good game? Hit play to find out!
