Eyebrows are Fair Game

Welcome to “But, Why Vikings?”. Each episode your hosts Tim Clare, Ava Foxfort, and Iain McAllister will answer a variety of tabletop related questions sent in to them by listeners. From tabletop etiquette to historical mysteries there is no question too esoteric for this group of gaming agony aunts. In this episode Ava and Iain discuss the assumptions folk can make around game products being in-world objects and how it can alter perception of the experience. They also look at the pitfalls of ‘no-communication’ games and where the wiggle room can be in such titles. Finally they answer a very strange question about consumption. Our show notes links to games and sources we mention in running order. Games will have their BGG entry linked to, though we recognise that is not the only source of information on games. Games mentionedTriangle AgencyAdventures of Baron MuchausenBlockbuster video gameCBR PNKSomething is wrong here GloomhavenD&DLovecraftesqueMafia de CubaHanabiThe GangThe MindBattlestar Galactica Grizzled EverdellAzulThrough the AgesOther things mentionedCATSOur SocialsTim ClareBlueskyWebsiteAva FoxfortBlueskyWebsiteIain McAllisterBlueskyWebsite
