Episode 384: Spirit Island

Join Peter and Frank for another tangential episode. We've been playing a smidge of Spirit Island so we figured we'd dig into what we've been enjoying about it, how it works, what tension in games means to us and how - if at all - it all links back to Arkham for us. Enjoy!

Episode 383: Think on your Feet LV
Join Frank for another Think on your Feet episode. Here we're tweaking our Tommy Muldoon deck to take on New Horizons in the middle of the night! In Think on your Feet episodes, I endeavour not to edit much at all. Sometimes I cut some shuffling sounds or abbreviate some of my longer pauses (a chap's got to think!), but otherwise, it's uncut, unaltered and meant to feel like you're with me at the table. There may be mistakes and misplays, but hopefully some successes too. Timestamps0.00 preamble2.35 the 'new' deck5.20 xp choices 6.10 the blood blight7.50 scenario set-up10.05 a random…

Episode 381: Where are You at with Arkham?
Join Frank and Peter for a riff on this question: where are you at with Arkham? How do you feel about allocation? How is chapter two hitting? What impact does that have on casting? And what else is catching our attention?

Episode 380: Crisis of Identity (of Sorts)
Join Frank and Peter for a head-scratcher: is Carolyn the new Daisy? What does that mean? And if it means what we think it means, what does that say about chapter 1 Arkham in comparison with chapter 2 Arkham, if anything?

Join Frank and Peter as they look at some of the hits and misses of the chapter two core set - aka the 2026 core set - for Arkham Horror The Card Game, and specifically the highs and lows of Brethren of Ash, the core set campaign.
