Gaming Year in Review – Wargaming Recon #198

Perched in a pizza place, Jonathan and Alex sit and slip into a state of nostalgia as they regale each other with stories from the front (and sometimes from the paint table)

Alex

Has been spending his time solo gaming with Kings of War by Mantic. He has been talking this game up for a while, and this show notes monkey can tell you it is a great game! Inclusive of all scales and also easy enough for kids to get involved in. Speaking of kids and gaming, Alex has also been playing Castle panic with his daughter, the best draw card in this is that it is a co-op game, which by Alex’s standards is a great way to get kids into gaming. Alex also mentions some time he has spent playing Pandemic, listen to what he lays out while stuffing his face.

 

Johnny Boy

Oh Johnny Boy……. the paints, the paints are calling! You have heard it right people, Jonathan has gotten excited for a painting handle, the GW Painting handle to be precise. Leaving to a nice debate between him and Alex in regards to GW product vs Heart Burn Medication Tub. But the paradox to this is – Jonathan Painting. While trying to avoid further argument, Jonathan tells us about his new game “How to get quickly and safely from A to B”. Hopefully the game helps him get his point across.
