Episode 164: Think on your Feet XXIII

Join Frank for Think on your Feet XXIII, in which Norman Withers returns to Arkham only to find reality disintegrating before his very eyes! This is the last instalment of his adventure in The Circle Undone.

In Think on your Feet episodes, a live play series of Arkham Horror: The Card Game, I endeavour not to edit much at all. Sometimes I cut some shuffling sounds or abbreviate some of my longer pauses (a chap's got to think!), but otherwise, it's uncut, unaltered and meant to feel like you're with me at the table. There may be mistakes and misplays, but hopefully some successes too. 

At 1hr13, I get the Cosmos rules pretty mixed up; I misread Cosmic Gate and place it in the wrong place, and then don't move to it. Derp. By 1hr16, I work out my mistake! Then waaay later on, around the 2hr-something mark, I take four actions instead of three. Dammit! I was doing so well. I don't think it invalidates the playthrough, but it's a shame!

Episode 163: Frank's First Look at Weaver of the Cosmos

Join Frank for a first look at the player cards of Weaver of the Cosmos, the sixth mythos pack of The Dream-Eaters cycle for Arkham Horror. This one was a doozie - I love these end of cycle packs, and Weaver didn't disappoint. Hope you like it. Thanks to our special guest, everyone's favourite host!

Episode 162: Live, Sort Of...

Join Frank and Peter for a different kind of episode: this episode was recorded in front of a digitally live audience of patrons of the cast. In it, your hosts talk about quarantine gaming, deckbuilding for Dexter and announce two new cards from the investigator starter decks. We've left pauses, ums, ahs and interaction with the audience in the cast, so it's meant to be a rough and ready affair. Enjoy!

Episode 161: Investigator Starter Deck First Impressions

Join Peter and Frank as they take a look at the newly announced investigator starter decks: Nathaniel Cho, Harvey Walters, Winifred Habbamock, Jacqueline Fine (!!) and Stella Clark. What do we make of the product? How will it work? How many new cards will we see? We select a few cards from each pack to take a look at what the product is and what impact it'll have on Arkham Horror and share our first reactions to these new decks.
