Draft Mechanic Episode 34: Double Six-Pack Review! Agamemnon & 7 Wonders Duel; 7 Wonders on Tap

Are you appropriately stuffed with Turkey? Are you listening from somewhere outside the world, and have eaten a different meal entirely? Either way, I hope you left some room for a heaping helping of Draft Mechanic! In thanksgiving style, we’ve filled the plate with reviews of four app implementations of board games as well as two, yep two! six-pack reviews for your enjoyment - 7 Wonders Duel and Agamemnon. Both are two-player only titles that play in about half an hour, and we’ve given both the six-pack treatment today. Sticking with that seven wonders theme, we’ve got beer pairings for the classic 7 Wonders in the Game On Tap and also a discussion on what may be the seven wonders of the beer world. That’s a lot of podcast - but don’t forget to save room for pie!

Draft Mechanic Episode 33: Captain Sonar on tap; Extra Life & MACE Recent Playstravaganza

I sure hope you like hearing about games, because we’ve got two big weekends to cover in this episode of Draft Mechanic! We’re talking about the Extra Life charity “24 hour” gaming marathon, where we played from noon until a bit after 3am - and then the following weekend we hunkered down for another weekend of gaming with our local Charlotte gaming convention, MACE. We’ve picked out the best games we played at each event and we’re going to slam-pack this episode with recent play discussion. After all of that, we round it out with our on-tap picks for Captain Sonar, one of this year’s hottest party games. So enjoy!
