The Case of the Golden Idol

In this episode, Andrew and Mike discuss 2022’s The Case of the Golden Idol. We discuss the base game, but not the Expansions, for Color Gray Games’s landmark game. Please note this episode was recorded early 2025, and some of the points are now out of date. For example, we have since discovered The Roottrees are Dead as a great game that’s a single large system, not split into cases.

We go into deep spoilers between 15:00 and 20:19, so avoid this section if you want to remain unspoiled.
