Friends- a few weeks ago, the game club got together and tried out Nemesis, an absolutely fantastic board game set in a sci-fi/Alien Universe type of setting. We get into the nitty gritty of things and go through basic mechanics and formulas the game uses. Huge thanks to Kelly for bringing the game, and running it. Also, this episode was great in the sense that we got to introduce all of you to Gerard- a long running member of our Tuesday gaming group. Please enjoy the episode!

Folks- this episode was a real treat, and no, the title is not there just to get you interested! CLGS is a program at Central Michigan University that gives students an opportunity to play games and simulations in a variety of courses, and earn a minor in Game Design. Moreover, CLGS publishes its own educational boardgames and has numerous titles under its belt. This includes Greg Loring-Albright's game, "Keep the Faith". In this episode, we chat with Greg about his design, and Veronica Gregory about CLGS, what it does, and where it is headed. With any luck, a few of us on the 20SG design team will get out there to see what their program is all about! More on that later!

Folks- if you've ever wondered about the OG of OG wargames, Kriegspiel, this is the episode for you! While not our only topic, professional wargaming guru Jan Heinemann (letsplayhistory on Instagram) and I discuss professional wargaming, Jan's entry points into wargaming, and the importance of game based learning in the modern world. Jan was a great conversationalist, and I truly hope we end up in the same room at some point- doing what we love- integrating education and games as one! Please enjoy the episode, and click on the link below to find out more about Jan, his work, and interests as a gamer.
