BJ and Steve welcome in a content creator who is also deep diving into the world of designing board games on Episode 144! This time, The NameFather has invited Liz Davidson, reviewer with Beyond Solitaire's YouTube Channel and podcast, and the co-designer (with David Thompson) of the upcoming game, Night Witches, from Fort Circle Games to talk about some spicy hot board games!
In the banter, we chatted about:
- SDHistCon and the Summit Awards
- Recent plays of The Mists Over Carcassonne
- Recent plays of Chaos Cove
- Crowdfunding projects that have caught Liz's eye
The big feature was a deep dive into NIGHT WITCHES, a new two-player game designed by Liz Davidson and David Thompson that is in development with Fort Circle Games. That's right -- it's a Gumbo Scoop -- you'll hear all about the design choices, history of the game, and development even before it hits crowdfunding!
And finally, it's not Gumbo Live! unless we play a game with the Chat Krewe -- this time Steve and I bring back the all time Gumbo favorite, The Jambalaya Game! We mix in a lot of ancient history jokes (Liz is a Latin teacher and a student of ancient history) in with some really bad board game puns.
CHAOS COVE crowdfunding project is on Gamefound right now and almost funded already!
