Episode 45 - Food Chain Magnate
May 10, 2017
Our hosts are once again joined
by friend of the show, Wesley, and start out the episode talking
about some crazy weather. In recently played games, Zach tried out
Salt Lands, Wesley got introduced to Orleans, Jeff talks about
Shadow War: Armageddon, and Adrian moved some stones in Imhotep. In
News, more details have emerged about The Thing: Infection at
Outpost 31, an expansion for Star Wars: rebellion is revealed, and
Shut and and Sit Down got themselves a convention. In Kickstarters,
Farsight gets you an option for minis, Terrain Crate can get you
pimp out your D&D, and Card City XL has over 200 ways to play
the game. Moving on to the review of the week, we get deep into
Food Chain Magnate by Splotter Spellen. Does this cutthroat heavy
economic game make enough of an impact to be a contender for one of
the best heavy games ever? Or does its’ ruthlessness and long
running time make it feel like a dull knife fight that just won’t
end? Find out inside! We answer some questions from emails,
Twitter, and BGG about Food Chain and then then have a comment from
a previous episode to close out the show.
