That’s a lot of games! I’ll have to give a listen ---

Most of them we only mentioned in passing, but it seemed polite to tag them all. The bolded ones are the ones we talked about at any sort of length. ---

As an owner, but not yet player, of Hokkaido, I may need to give this a listen. Here’s my podcast of the games I’ve been playing lately. … There you go! 😛 Also, 😭 ---

Nice to hear some love for **Doctor Who: Time of the Daleks** - which I feel is more suited to being a solo game than a co-op one, and more challenging that way. ---

I need to get Nicola on here. 🙂 But you can find some of her posts on BGG under “Nicola Zee”. ---

I notice that the Heroine-empowering game is written by a chap. So is the suffragette themed indie RPG I’m currently reading. A sinister trend! ---

In all seriousness, this could be regarded as appropriation just as much as Europeans writing games about African cultures, and I think it needs sensitivity to do it right. ---

I’m not sure I’d classify anything as ‘hate drafting’. Yes, you always think (at least I always think) of how this card might help the player I’m going send it on to. But whatever I choose I always think first: which of these cards can help me most? I only wonder about which cards might help my opponents when I have nothing in my hand which might help me. ---

Depending on the game, there may be a choice between (thing that helps me a little bit) and (thing that will mess up my opponent a lot). Or one may be hopelessly behind the leader, but have a chance to knock them back a bit. I think any drafting game with a common pool has the _potential_ for hate-drafting, but some definitely encourage it more than others.
