A spooky welcome to Episode 104 of The Last Standee Podcast!
This episode we explore curses, critters and cursed critters which also curse you! But let us get our curse-words (Inigo Montoya vibes here: you keep saying that word - I don't think it means what you think it means) sorted!
First, there's our Standee Catch-up with Cara and Alessio, then Alessio breaks ice with Eternal Decks, an excellent scenario-based coop card game by Hiroken seeing first reprint right these days, then Cara goes with Here to Slay, the Unstable Unicorns sequel that nods a bit to Munchkin (but also has some good things going its way). Finally, Alessio and Cara talk about King of Tokyo Duel, the last (next to last, now that Essen SPIEL has come and gone there's Mindbug King of Tokyo) iteration of the franchise, which brings some very welcome fresh air to the known and loved concept of the game.
And I think here we are: there are cards, combos, critters and curses - episode's done!
See you next episode!

87: Artisans of the Unreliable Machine (Turing Machine, Unreliable Wizard, Artisans of SV)
Hi all, welcome to episode 87 of The Last Standee Podcast!
This episode we cover a bit of everything, starting from the Standee Catch-up with Cara, Alessio and Alexis.
After catching up, it's time to decrypt cyphers with Alexis, who introduces us to Turing Machine, a very good "multiplayer solo" puzzle game with sort-of-programmable states (do you see the tech imprint in this intro? The game's good if you are into puzzles, don't worry). Next, there's a true solo game, with recent Unreliable Wizard reprint by Salt and Pepper games (give me a subscription to Kamibayashi games!) and its fake 16-bit pixel goodness - yeah, no way those sprites that big would fit 8-bit engines. Finally, it's time for a very special episode of Cara's Reviews, with Artisans of Splendent Vale, a daring attempt at mixing compartmented campaign story with unique characters' viewpoints and clever asymmetric resource management.
Is this enough to kindle your curiosity?
