I want to give a shout-out to @maindeckgames.bsky.social and his co-casters for their live stream coverage of the Star Wars Galactic Championship. They did an amazing job. The professionalism and production was top notch!

Listen to the folks at rolldicetakenames.com dig into the asymmetrical deck-building game DC Forever at the 30 minute mark of their latest podcast! rolldicetakenames.com/episode354/

As a COIN and L&C fan, I can't wait to try this series.

You come up with some really unique series of games

I've had that and they are amazing!

Be careful with the fireworks. It's easier to shuffle cards with all your fingers 😜

Vanessa joins Marty to bookend this episode with a Taste Buds and their mid 2025 movie analysis. The rest of the episode is full of 5 Minute Initiatives. Enjoy!

I saw them live two weeks ago. One of the best live events I've ever been to

The theme of this episode is area majority games with Huang and Rumble Nation. Plus we throw in some nice fillers and Banana Ball! megaphone.link/PODERATIONLT...

Citizens of the Spark is good. Lots of variability and I love games with follow actions @thunderworksgames.bsky.social

We cover hot new games like Line of Fire: Burnt Moon and a coop version of Santorini. Plus, build your own Jurassic park in Cretaceous Rails. And we finally play Looot.
Bonus: Review of Clare Obscure: Expedition 33

Listen to Rolling Dice & Taking Names give an overview and review of Pathfinder Dice Conquest on their latest podcast! rolldicetakenames.com/episode351/

I just saw Triple Dice last night. I'm ready to play that now. So simple but very engaging

This is the one COIN I've most looked forward to since announced. I love the theme and the board looks great.

Oh very cool!

A publisher really should be working with the producers of The Devil's Plan to get the rights to publish some of their games. The game Halloween Monsters would be one of the best social deduction games on the market today.

We revisit a game we covered 8+ years ago, a card game no one is talking about and we have all the details on our Gen Con Strike event with tickets available now! rolldicetakenames.com/episode351/

Andor wasn't only the best Star Wars TV series I've seen, it's one of the best TV series I've seen since Shogun.

Next time you're in the south, let us know. We'll hook you up

Some of these games need to be turned into real games

It's no secret we're a fan of the duo design team of @trevormbenjamin.bsky.social @djackthompson.bsky.social. They have another hit on their hands with Line of Fire Burnt Moon. An area control/lane battler game based on the deck building mechanics of their Undaunted series. @ospreygames.bsky.social

It's our first time playing Cyclades! The bidding mechanic is great, but are we the right group for it? Plus, we try one of the best Little Debbie snacks on Taste Buds.

Are you interested in a lighter shorter version of Great Western Trail? If so check out our latest episode where we give our thoughts on Great Western Trail: El Paso and who would be a the right audience for it. rolldicetakenames.com/episode349/

I understand having to be in a certain mindset or sometimes games just don't click. But, right now it's GotY up there with Blue Prince. I WILL play Oblivion. But since we know Switch 2 supports Unreal Engine 5, I hope it shows up on the console. Playing that in handheld mode would be a blast.

I haven't been this obsessed with a game for a long time. Now I do like turn based RPGs. But then throw in the story, visuals, acting & character building and it's a game I just keep wanting to go back to. Plus it's a small studio beating the likes of AAA titles like Avowed, South of Midnight, etc

Enjoy and let me know which movies you are the most excited about!

It's our annual Screening, Streaming, or Steaming episode! Dan and Chris join us for our annual summer movie preview. We rate all the top movies and draft which we think will make the most $$. Enjoy! rolldicetakenames.com/rdtn2025movie/
