Tonight I am THRILLED to talk with Cryptozoic President and CCO and creator of the new HEX TCG/MMO Cory Jones.

We cover a wide variety of questions I have for him and he dishes a ton of great answers for us.

I want to thank him for being an amazing guest and all around cool guy, and also thanks to Crypto for putting out such amazing games!

As you will notice Episode 52 is not yet up. It was a real long “cross over” episode with Dice Hate Me Chris, TC Petty III, Darrell Louder, Tom G and myself all at one table. It clocks in around 2 and 1/2 hours so its LONG. I am in the process of editing it for our feed and it should be up by the end of the weekend…

BUT until then please enjoy Episode 53!

Tonight I interview Nicholas yu, the designer of the 2 player card game Hero Brigade now up on Kickstarter. The game looks great and Nick was a great guy to talk to.

I had a little bit of a fight with Skype the whole time we were doing the interview so sorry if there are some issues with the recording quality.

PLEASE check out this real quality game now up on kickstarter. I think you will really enjoy it! It looks like a ton of fun and a real quick light yet deep card game.

We have made it to episode 50!

Today we have Dan, Red, Chris and Adam in the hosting chairs.

This episode is a bit longer then normal as we celebrate the big 5-0 and also go into a Worker Placement madness tournament with seeding and everything! We go round by round until we have a TOP Worker Placement Game in the Eyes of the Geek Allstars!

I want to thank each any everyone for listening and I hope you join us for the next 50!

For some more of a background on why we talked about WP…. Well Tom recently did a top 10 WP games and we, as contributors, were only allowed to send in 1 game. BUT we love WP game SOOOO much that it killed me to only do one. SOOOO I decided we HAD to talk about more! We were going to do a top 12 (b/c that’s one more then any of the other podcasts– new or retired actually do), but someone came up with a great idea.. Not sure who (yes I am it was Adam) , Why not do this march madness style??? Well, a new feature of the Geek Allstars was born!

Tonight I had the pleasure of hanging out with two of the game industry’s coolest guys, Matt Riddle and Ben Pinchback. We had a blast meandering into and out of everything board game and geek. We go from Fleet to Guild Wars and back again in what felt like only a 10 min conversation.

Sit back, relax and enjoy three guys just shooting the breeze and finding out what makes these two talented designers tick.

Thanks so much for listening!
