Draft Mechanic Episode 58: The 7th Continent review, Part 1 & On Tap beer pairings; Photosynthesis; Lazer Ryderz; Raiders of the North Sea; FBGL Update and Understanding Yeast in Beer
In today’s land-mass sized episode, we dig in deep to The 7th Continent for the first of what will be several reviews of this mammoth card-based exploration game. How is it holding up after ten-plus hours of gameplay? Judging by the length of this episode, we had a lot to say! We’re also giving it the On Tap treatment with five great beers for your next continental exploration session. In recent plays, we look at Photosynthesis, Lazer Ryderz, and Raiders of the North Sea. Danielle wraps up this episode with a discussion of a history of our understanding of yeast in beer. I hope you’ve got plenty of durability left on your podcast player, because this episode’s a big one!

Welcome back, dear listeners! It’s time for our second Podiversary - and with that, it’s time for the second season of the Fantasy Board Game League! We’ve teamed up with board game content creators across the boardosphere for this season and it’s time to kick off the first week of matchups! We discuss the Top 10 draft picks and look back at the Year Two state of the podcast in our feature segment. But we’ve also got a big feature at the top of the show - a Kickstarter Preview of the new expansion for Gil Hova’s The Networks - The Executives! We dig this expansion (currently on Kickstarter!) so much that we made it into its own feature. We also look back at recent plays of Magic Maze, Eminent Domain & Illimat and then put Indulgence on tap!
