Kiwi continues the trend of dating himself with references to old cartoons, this time it's Centurions a classic 80's Saturday Morning Cartoon. Again, this game has nothing to do with that though. Our trio is playing our first Friedemann Friese game ever! We hauled Power Grid out on to the virtual table and tried our hand at powering Germany. Published by Rio Grande Games.

It's a poo poo poo platter, it's better because it has one more poo! Gosh, what a great show that was! Well, this week's game has nothing to do with Brak's poo, or Space Ghost, or Carton Network's Adult Swim. After Kiwi is finished dating himself, our players try out Space Base by John D. Clair and published by AEG.

Pay no attention to the numbering system, we're just trying to fix some mistakes me made in the early rounds of the game so it's easier on our brains.
We went to GenCon! Sort of ... it was GenCon Online, it was different but we played some games! We played: Plunderbund from HutChu Enterprises, On the Origin of Species from Artana, Genotype from Genius Games, Atheneum and Stellar from Renegade Games, Codinca from Back Spindle Games, and In Too Deep from Burnt Island Games.
