Polyhedron Collider Episode 162 - My Little Scythe, FlickFleet, Monkey Palace, Cora Quest, In The Footsteps of Darwin, In The Footsteps of Marie Curie
The boys from the Collider have been visiting some tiny conventions and getting lots of games played. First Rory and Sid take us through board games to play with the wee nippers, with Lego building game Monkey Palace, star fighting dexterity game FlickFleet, and miniature Euro game My Little Scythe. Andy then tells us of his exploits in a more sophisticated setting of a Victorian observatory, going through the luxurious tile laying game that is Foundations of Rome. We round off the reviews with some historical themed games with In the Footsteps of Darwin and In the Footsteps of Marie Curie.
Of course the episode ends with questions from the mail bag, where we tackle difficult subjects like tariffs, designer's stinkers and a belting Blind Date question. Its gonna be a lorra lorra laughs..

ReplyDeleteSounds like you all had a fantastic time at those conventions, packed with some really diverse game experiences! My Little Scythe sounds particularly charming for the younger crowd, and FlickFleet definitely piques my interest for a bit of dexterity fun. It's always great to hear about games that get people engaged. Speaking of engaging, sometimes I just need a quick, exciting challenge to clear my head – something like the fast-paced action in Slope Game. What a lineup, though!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome to hear about all the cool games you've been trying! It reminds me of a little gem I've stumbled upon recently: Monkey Mart. It's such a fun, relaxing management game where you run a little shop with adorable monkeys. I honestly can't stop playing – there's something so satisfying about growing your business, harvesting bananas, and serving customers. The chill gameplay style is perfect for unwinding after a long day, and before you know it, an hour has flown by! It's super engaging without being stressful.
ReplyDeleteThat's so cool you've found a game that clicks with you like that! Your description of Monkey Mart totally resonates – those chill, satisfying games are the best for unwinding. It actually reminds me a bit of the unexpected connections you can make online sometimes. Like, I've had some surprisingly fun and laid-back chats on platforms like Omegle where you just stumble into random conversations. You never know who you'll meet or what interesting topic might pop up, kind of like discovering a new favorite game! It's all about that low-pressure, serendipitous vibe.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome you're enjoying Monkey Mart so much! I totally get what you mean about those relaxing, flow-state games being perfect for chilling out. It's funny how some games just hit that sweet spot. Speaking of casual fun, I've actually been spending a lot of time with Drive Mad lately – it's another one of those simple but super addictive physics-based games that's great for unwinding. It's cool how you mentioned Omegle and the random connections; do you think that element of unexpected discovery is a big part of what makes these kinds of games and online interactions so appealing?
