Burky and Badger's Board Game Babble Show

We discuss our most recent convention experiences at Origins 2016 and Paris est Ludique with none other than the Undeadviking himself, Lance Myxter. This was a off the hook and off the rails episode that was a whole lot of fun.

Dice games are popping up everywhere. They are being used in interesting and bizarre ways to make games better...But do they make them better? http://www.boardgametheater.com/current-contests.html http://www.boardgameseverybodyshould.com/burky---badger.html To get the the audio download goto iTune : https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/burky-badgers-board-game-babble/id1077470358?mt=2 Stitcher : http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=82581&refid=stpr Check the Board Game Theater page for all episodes and pod casts : www.boardgametheater.com/burky---badger-show Like us on Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/burkyandbadger or our guild on Board Game Geek https://www.boardgamegeek.com/guild/2248 ***Things that make us go Hmmm!*** 4:30 Outlive Kickstarter Star Trek Ascendancy Descent Road to legend ***The Good, The Bad & The Ugly*** 11:16 Burger Boss Elder Sign Prodigals Club Survive Space Attack ***Into the kingdom of Babblelot*** 37:37 We make an analysis of the game "Kemet" and see if it is worthy to make it onto the round table at Babblelot ***The Babble*** 1:03:03 What make a good dice game?

They get replayed over and over again. So, what is it that gives a game a long life? Is it because it has a theme you love? Is it because it’s different every time you play it? Is it because of the the level of complexity/easiness that brings you back? If you were a game designer, what would you do to make your game replayable?

Do we really need re-themed games?

Is it just a cash in? Does the industry need to give us the same game in another package? Do you own many versions of the same game? Is money going into the wrong hands; ie; compânys making fortunes from one product while others have many great products, but make little profit. Are there any games you’d like to see re-themed into something else?
