Hello internet!  We are coming to you live from Sam’s house in beautiful Charleston, SC to play out another challenge!  We collected 12 random words from our patrons and from Manda with the goal of creating some variety of game that incorporates all of the elements in some meaningful way.  The words we were given were:

  1. Fighting tournament
  2. Watches
  3. Dogs
  4. Ribbon
  5. Flower
  6. Underground
  7. Umami
  8. Skype
  9. Fishing
  10. Balloons
  11. Diamond
  12. Squander

Here are the games made by Nate and Matt, given these words and exactly one hour.

Nate’s Game

Matt’s Game

We leave it to you, fair listeners, to determine the outcome.  Vote for your favorite on our forums!

Sam and Matt recently returned from GenCon 2014, after running 8 different games for Arc Dream publishing.  After each day at the con we recorded a short breakdown of the day’s events.  This being our first foray into GenCon, we didn’t do a lot more than run all of the games we had scheduled and troll the dealer’s hall.

Highlights:

-Meeting Ross Payton, Shane Ivey, and Greg Stolze and bugging them while they were working
-Teaching new people to play MaOCT
-Sam’s CoC game with 5 players who were very likely hung over
-Learning new random board games
-Magic 2015 Midnight Madness
