BGTG 46a - January 2, 2006 - SR: Lots of games, and Feedback
Yea! I finally got to record a new podcast! I needed to do a fair bit of catching up, which meant the podcast got to be pretty long. With that in mind I split it into two parts. This is the first part, about an hour of me catching up for lost time and talking about some games I've been playing recently. The second part, which I'll post next, is the feedback segment.

Fixed now, thanks for the quick spot!
Mark,
Since polls seem to take up much of your time, you may want to look at this free polling solution, check out http://www.pollhost.com/.

Mark,
regarding Rheinländer: I'll try to persuade you to like the game better than you did. I have only played it 3-4 times myself, and i'm beginning to enjoy it more.
You can read my latest insight here: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/87842.
I think if you like a good amount of nastiness in a game, Rheinländer will certainly appeal to you.
Christoph
Thanks, Christoph. I'll definitely check out that other poll option. I may even check out Rheinlander again someday . . . Greg's copy. :-)
wow - this was a long one! Well done though.
You mention playing with kids. How old is your son? I have a 9yr old son, and he is quite competitive at Bohnanza and does ok at Ticket to Ride.
For some strange reason this episode isn't showing up in my list under iTunes, although 46b and 47 just have.
Does anyone else have this problem, or perhaps a solution? Thanks...
Hey, you mentioned the poll about hype in the podcast. There are no comments on the poll like other sites have, so I'm posting them here.
Hype for boardgames is just like hype for anything else. All it does for me is increase awareness of the hyped game. If there's a game that sounds like I might like it, I get interested in it. If there is a game that sounds like I wont like it, I wont be interested in it.
Hype, like the hype of Caylus, just brings games into my field of view. I would actually prefer it if more games were hyped. It is kind of hard for me to find out about new games, so the more games that are hyped the easier it will be for me to find ones I like.
There is a problem with hype where people start to think either that because people are hyping up a game there must be something good or bad about it to generate that hype. This is a dangerous sort of illogical thinking that can result in missing good games or buying bad ones. I just don't think this way, so hype can't hurt me.
The videoblog looks like it moved, it's now it's own website at http://www.boardgameswithscott.com/
