In Episode 169 of the Polyhedron Collider Cast, we’re back to the normal format with a jam-packed episode full of cardboard strategy, wooden meeples, and the occasional alcahol related tangent. We’ve got three fresh games on the table—each offering a different flavour of thinky goodness—and we’re ready to break them down.
Sankoré: The Pride of Mansa Musa
We dive into this beautiful and brain-burning game of knowledge, trade, and influence. Set in medieval Timbuktu, Sankoré blends economic planning with area control as we vie to have the most knowledge.
Civolution
What happens when you blend civilisation building and dice placement with a modular tech tree and evolving asymmetry? Civolution aims to answer that. We dig into the mechanisms, the innovation, and whether it actually feels like building a civilisation.
Timber Town
We venture into the cutesy world of beaver builders in this cosy two-player game from Alley Cat
So grab a brew, get comfy, and join us for another episode of tabletop talk and trite tangents.
Don’t forget to join our community on [Discord] and let us know what you think of the games—or tell us what we missed!
