Yes we're back with another interview episode, and this time we're talking to Gerardo from Beyond Words Games about his induction title... The Strange Forgeries Of Mr. S.C.Rheber!

We discuss the game, the inspiration, the origins of induction games, and quite pertinently, the role that reviewers and influencers play in the launch of a board game.

Apologies for the sound quality in places, we've tried to clean it up as best we can but the connection wasn't fantastic.

Enjoy!

The BGG Forum Post

You may well be familiar with Gerardo's name / Beyond Words Games thanks to a recent forum post on Board Game Geek, which we tried not to discuss too much in the episode for a couple of reasons. Firstly we were keen to keep the episode focused on The Strange Forgeries Of Mr. S.C.Rheber, and secondly it was, at the time, still a developing situation where some parties had not been given a full chance to reply.

As such some parts have been cut down to avoid confusion, and as a result it does sound like Jay talks a lot when the subject arises. Jay is aware he talks too much in general, but this time it wasn't his fault!

The situation has since been resolved, and we have discussed with Gerardo the possibility of a second episode to set things straight and talk about things from start to finish.

But if you'd like to know more about what we discuss you can check out the forum post here:

The second in our flagship 'Bucket List' Series, this episode Craig, Dan and Matt pitch some more Entry Level or 'Beginner' games that they think are best placed to entice people into the hobby of board gaming, with Luke acting as judge and jury (but hopefully not executioner!)

Whether it be alluring visuals, tasty tactility or an effortless teach, at least three more games will take their place on the Bucket List Board Gamers Bucket List of Board Games!

With the thousands upon thousands of board games out there, there's no way our panellists will pick the same one, surely?

The Dragon has been slain, and underneath its lifeless corpse lies a mountain of riches the likes of which you have never seen.

You shoot a glance to the other members of your party, each person covetously scanning the pile of goodies with envious eyes... then you dive in to claim what is yours!

Split the Hoard is a game that plays out in those moments immediately after victory, where everyone in the party wants to fill up their swag bag with the items best suited to them; be it potions, equipment, straight up gold, or something else completely.

We talked to game creator Marc Kenobi about Split the Hoard, where the idea came from, how he got into board gaming and what might be next!

We thought it was about time we addressed the elephant in the room, and made sense of why we are called the Bucket List Board Gamers!

The first in what we hope to be a long-running series, this episode Luke, Craig and Jay discuss their picks for Entry Level or 'Beginner' games that they think are best placed to entice people into the hobby of board gaming.

Whether it be alluring visuals, tasty tactility or an effortless teach, Luke, Craig and Jay explain their two picks, then vote to decide which three games take the first slots on the prestigious... Bucket List Board Gamers Bucket List of Board Games!

We're still working on the name...

Apologies to our Patreons, this was recorded before you very generously joined so there is no shout-out in this episode, but we love you all the same!

**Advertisement**

As you may have heard in the episode, we are proud affiliates of Meeple Design and Meeple Coffee, who sell gorgeous gamer-related artwork and gorgeous gamer-related coffee, respectively.

We wouldn't advertise something we weren't massively fond of, and a lot of the Bucket List Board Gamers have Meeple Design artwork and apparel, and Jay wouldn't be able to get through these huge editing sessions without at least one cup of Hero's Upgrade coffee by his side at all times.

By using the links below to buy your merch and high quality coffee beans/grounds, you'll also be supporting the channel and a small business, so it's a win-win-win situation.
