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!

96: King's Cross (Steam Power, Next Station, Knight: An Avalon RPG)
Welcome to 2025, and also to Episode 96 of The Last Standee Podcast!
Moderation and sobriety mark the start of the year with the A Team (Alexis-Audrey-Alessio, cue '80s music), while we learn in the Standee catch-up what everyone has been up to (spoiler: it's flu, mostly. And dealing with job market. Yeah, moderation and sobriety).
After that, we begin dabbling into games (I hope you will appreciate the effort put into finding a good name for the episode) - Alessio tells us about Steam Power, a long-awaited game from THE Martin Wallace about trains and economy. Big names come to mind. The question is, is this game up to the likes of the legends of the past? (spoiler: it's an entire different thing - for the rest, you'll have to listen to the episode. After that, it's trains again, with Alexis presenting us Next Station game series. Ever wondered what all the fuss was about, or which one to pick in a pinch? Today's your lucky day, then! Finally, Audrey closes the triptych for this episode with Knight: An Avalon RPG - a French production just recently landed to international audiences. And if Space Knights of the Round Table with Saint Seiya armors doesn't even make you flinch, you have a heart of stone and I feel sorry for you (and yes, that title for a movie is taken, sorry!)
Let's begin the new year with a BANG! (No, not with Bang!. Or yes, if you want - we just won't be talking about it).
