About this episode
We take no time off for Boxing Day here at SVWAG, a day so named because according to the common law of the King (still feels weird saying that) citizens of the Commonwealth are permitted to punch someone in the face on this day only. It's like a pugilistic The Purge but with the metric system and occasional poutine. The news this week features a number of exemplary game titles. Many a stellar game has crossed our paths purely on the strength of its name, whereas others are so generic as to defy searching. Go ahead, find R on Board Game Geek, or the game Quest. I dare you. 01:59 AYURIS: Dominant Species Marine (Chad Jensen, GMT Games, 2021) Games Played Last Week: 04:50 -Oak (Wim Goossens, Game Brewer, 2022) 10:59 -Weather Machine (Vital Lacerda, Eagle-Gryphon Games, 2022) 12:42 -Time of Empires (David Simiand and Pierre Voye, Pearl Games, 2022) 23:10 -Wayfarers of the South Tigris (S J Macdonald and Shem Phillips, Garphill Games, 2022) 26:40 -Persuasion (Xoe Allred, Unpublished) 31:31 -Starship Captains (Peter B.
