Ready to take a leap from the conventional board gaming realm? We promise to rattle your neurons with an innovative twist to your favourite game, Pandemic, called Oligarchy. Brace yourselves as we navigate through the mechanism of this rousing version that not only promises fun but also poses intriguing questions about societal dynamics. We also have some exciting news from a friend participating in the World Board Game Championships in Las Vegas. So, gear up for a riveting episode that celebrates the world of board games!
Let's also take you on a journey through the past, where we unravel the historical connection between classic games like Risk and geopolitics. Surprising, isn't it? But there's more! We talk about how America, through its military presence, has carved a subtle empire that's often overlooked. Ever wondered about an 'American Belt and Road Initiative' and its potential implications? Well, we have got you covered!
And, to add a cherry on the cake, we roll out the carpet for our favourite board games, including Joust, Euker, Hearts, Bridge, and Magic the Gathering. We stir in some serious discussions about using these games as tools to teach about oligarchy. We also delve into the concept of Schadenfreude and its implications in gaming. So, fasten your seatbelts as we traverse through the fascinating world of geopolitics, societal dynamics, and the sheer joy of board gaming.
