About this episode
Walker feels he has missed his calling, and tries out his tight five as an insult comic this week. He directs his barbs at the typical targets--Mark, board game covers, games no one asked for, Mark, media he finds unengaging, and Mark. The latter (and former) does his level best at being supportive in the classic tradition of Ed McMahon, but one remembers why Don Rickles and Triumph the Insult Comic Dog are solo acts. 02:03 AYURIS: Talon (Jim Krohn, GMT, 2016) and Talon 1000 (Jim Krohn, GMT, 2018) Games Played Last Week: 03:45 -The Voyages of Marco Polo (Simone Luciani & Daniele Tascini, Hans im Gluck, 2015) 06:20 -The Crew: The Quest for Planet 9 (Thomas Sing, KOSMOS, 2019) 07:29 -Versailles 1919 (Geoff Engelstein & Mark Herman, GMT Games, 2020) 16:10 -The Taverns of Tiefenthal (Wolfgang Warsch, Schmidt Spiel, 2019) 17:38 -Cosmic Frog (Jim Felli, Devious Weasel Games, 2020) 21:02 -Reichbusters: Project Vril (Jake Thornton, Mythic Games, 2020) 26:20 -That's Pretty Clever (Wolfgang Warsch, Schmidt Spiele, 2018) 30:04 -The Hunted: Twilight of the U-Boats, 1943-1945 (Gregory M.
