The Messy Game Room returns for season 2 and you know you want to listen to it. Board games we talk about include Chaos in the Old World, Jungle Speed, Hellenes, Shadows Over Camelot, Richard III, For Sale, Citadels, Lifeboats, and others. On the video game front we give our thoughts on Brutal Legend and New Super Mario Brothers for the Wii. We also discuss the miniature wargames Carnage and Glory and Command Decision Test of Battle. But the good stuff is when we talk about frozen Mexican delicacies from Wal-Mart, Dunkin Donuts, beer, and what to do when a guy dings your Mini in the Sheetz parking lot. Visit our guild on Board Game Geek and join up so you can enter contests and stuff.

The Messy Game Room episode 10 features more discussion on Columbia Games' latest, Richard III. Other games Mike and Marshall discuss include Combat Commander Europe, Castle Panic, Citadels, Hammer of the Scots, Bang!, Lord of the Fries, Pickomino, and Sal's Case Blue Game.

The Messy Game Room Episode 9

The Messy Game Room returns with more insightful gaming commentary.  Richard III The Wars of the Roses has finally arrived and Mike and Marshall recount their experience so far with this highly anticipated game.  More wargaming talk with Warriors of God.  On the lighter side of things they discuss Space Alert, Sushizock im Gockelwok, Lord of the Fries, Zombie Fluxx, and Scrabble (!).  Caught somewhere between wargames and Euros are The Kaiser's Pirates and Neuroshima Hex!.  And of course they continue to break down the intricacies of Rattlesnake.

Another episode of the award winning Messy Game Room podcast. On this show, Mike and Marshall weave a tale of gaming that spans from the beaches of Anzio through the sands of Arabia to the mythical kingdom of Camelot. In other words, they talk about playing Command Decision Test of Battle, Tales of the Arabian Nights, and Shadows Over Camelot. They also discuss cheating in Wits and Wagers and Mike's experience with playing Space Hulk and Marshall's experience watching Mike play Space Hulk.

Mike and Marshall proudly present episode 7 of The Messy Game Room.  In this month’s episode you will be entertained not only with insightful commentary on the gaming hobby, but the vocal stylings of your handsome hosts.

 

This episode includes discussion of solo games such as London’s Burning, Field Commander Alexander, and the Rebel vs. Imperium expansion for Race for the Galaxy.  Mike recounts his time spent at Historicon while Marshall listens with envy.  They go over their experiences with playing Twilight Struggle and 1960:  The Making of the President on Wargameroom.com.  Of course there’s some non-gaming stuff too, like when exactly did Iron Maiden jump the shark.

For your listening pleasure Mike and Marshall present episode 4 of The Messy Game Room.

 

This month they talk about Small World from Days of Wonder, and Mike swears he heard once that all of their games come pre-punched.  They discuss Fury of Dracula from Fantasy Flight.  They don’t discuss the Games Workshop version of Fury of Dracula because even though Marshall has it it’s too valuable to open the box much less play it.  Marshall very briefly talks about the Nintendo DS, but don’t worry, it’s so short there’s no reason to bother fast forwarding.  Marshall also goes into his masturbatory experience with Runebound, and Mike explains the difference between football and soccer while proclaiming his love for the Football Manager computer game series.

 

There’s a lengthy discussion concerning the contest they held on Board Game Geek where Messy Game Room guild members were asked to write about where they buy their games and why.  And no, they did not factor in geographical differences that would affect shipping prices when determining who had won a copy of Tahiti Clan Warfare.  

 

They close out with a review of Pandemic.
