This episode is really fun! I get my husband John and my daughter Amanda to tell us about one of our newest games, Space Alert. This new game by Vladda Chvatil of Czech Games Edition, produced by Rio Grande Games, puts you as the crew of a spaceship, encountering problems in real time. John explains the game, we play it, and you hear what we did and how we did it, and how it didn’t go so well due to a giant asteroid! This game is great fun recommended for 12+, although we did let Amanda play it. Enjoy!

    Hi,

    Just saw a link to this blog/podcast on BGG. I’m looking forward to downloading some of the boardgame related podcasts.

    I’m a father of 3, the eldest of whom can be considered a geek. He’s a gamer, Cult TV fan, comic reader. He is an active member of BGG, his profile can be found here:

    I’ll listen to a couple of podcasts and come back to make some comments.

    Nice work!!!

    James
