Praga Caput Regni review:

In Praga Caput Regni, players take the roll of wealthy citizens organizing various building projects in medieval Prague. By expanding their wealth and joining in the construction, they gain favor with the king. Players choose from six actions which are always available, but weighted with a constantly shifting array of costs and benefits. Clever players will discover synergies between carefully timed actions and the rewards from constructing civic projects. At the end of the game, the winner is the player who most impressed King Charles.

Welcome to episode 6 of The Longest Turn Board Gaming Podcast! In this episode Kevin, Tyson and Tyler discuss the unwritten rules of board game night. We talk about the obvious rules and some that aren't so obvious that we've discovered over the course of our board gaming experiences. We've broken a lot of these rules ourselves. Ultimately, playing games is about having fun and enhancing relationships, but following some of these unwritten rules helps to make game night a success. What rules did we miss?

Welcome to episode 15 of The Longest Turn Board Gaming Podcast! In this episode, Ben, Kevin, Tyler and Tyson talk about the games we've been playing lately. A game we cover needs a re-theme. Tyler and Kevin reflect on a couple of pencil induced injuries. We then discuss the "age-old" question of to sleeve, or not to sleeve? There are definitely pros and cons of sleeving and we cover a lot of them. Tyson goes premium with a set of sleeves, and it sounds like someone's perception of sleeves may be changed by our discussion.
