Episode 62.2 - Kingdom Death: Monster Deep Dive, Part 2

Explicit content warning

06/01/24 • 53 min

Welcome back! This month, we're concluding our deep dive into Kingdom Death: Monster. This episode focuses more on who should consider KD:M (and who shouldn't), the logistics of getting it to the table, and what impacts it's had on the board game industry.

Start playing KD:M so you can look forward to building things like this!
If you prefer miniatures like this, maybe consider Gatefall instead.
Frank tells Joe that he's wrong about his own opinion.
And we argue about glue.

What do you think about the deep dive format - does it work for you, or do you prefer the old style of talking about a bunch of different games in each episode? If you enjoy the deep dives, what game would you like us to dive into next?

As always, thank you for listening! If you have a few extra minutes, we'd love it if you could give us an iTunes review to help us find new listeners.

We'd also love to have you visit our website and let us know what kinds of games we should discuss next. You're also more than welcome to comment on the episode page, or our Facebook page, or tag @ascentofboardgames on Bluesky. Whatever way you prefer to share your opinions with us, we'd love to hear them. As always, we appreciate your listening - stay safe out there, and happy gaming!

Episode 62 - Kingdom Death: Monster Deep Dive, part 1

Buckle in - we decided to try something a little different this month (and next month, because as usual we can't shut up once we get started). We're doing a deep dive on a single game, and we're starting with the legendary Kingdom Death: Monster.

If you're interested in the game, you can look forward to two episodes full of discussion and commentary! If not...well, it's a great time to catch up on some older episodes, amirite?

Either way, please let us know what you think - do you want to hear more of these deep dives or not? If so, what games would you like us to dive into next?

For a close (and potentially disturbing and/or sexy) look at the KD:M miniatures, check out KDM Collector.
You can even see a model based on game creator Adam Poots!
