7LandHand Extra: Episode 82 – 3rd Annual Beer and Pizza Show

It’s the 3rd Annual 7LandHand Beer & Pizza Show. Live (on tape…which is a hard-drive) from the Cannington Good Games Ballroom. You’d think blending Matt and Kai would result in a Mai Tai. Yet no, this cocktail is a podcast of 2016 games in review and 2017 games in preview. We do Hot Scarbage, a play on our usual segment: Hot Garbage. The whole thing is framed by one of Matt’s classic quizzes.

Apologies for the lack of crowd mic, this will be resolved next year. Speaking of next year, keep the Beer & Pizza show in mind. We hope to expand these live shows and invite more of our regular listeners along to celebrate the year that was.

lotus-squarePut on your silken gowns and come for a walk with us through a serene garden. First we’ll nurture, then pick some flowers, before we stroll down to the palace lake to admire the Harvest Festival display.
In December, we have TWO games for you: Lotus, and Lanterns; both from Renegade Game Studio.
Christopher Chung joins us to talk about the creation of his game, Lanterns. We also do a Matt’s Quiz, announce the winner of Mansions of Madness 2nd ed. in Neets and Twooze, and talk geek.

It’s a double game festival, which means two games to win in December, and two games to get 10% off at your local Good Games Store – it is beginning to look a lot like Christmas…

7LandHand: Episode 78 – Mansions of Madness 2nd Ed.

mansions-of-madness-squareGrab your common items, and let’s go beyond the village to look around that shunned house. It’s Mansions of Madness 2, the reimaginning of the original game, but now you can bring your tablets with you. Despite the medication, we breakdown as we break down the game, Matt does a quiz, there’s a winner for last month’s Beyond Baker Street, and we give you the password for 10% of this month’s game.

I’d wander deep into the heart of a sinister old house for that…

7LandHand: Episode 76 – Beyond Baker Street

beyond-baker-street-squareMycroft, Yourcroft, His and Her croft, we love our Scottish farms. However, now we’ve done research, episode #76 is all about Sherlock Holmes and ‘Beyond Baker St.’ For example, Baker Street is not a place to deduct one’s pastry requirements – it’s a place Z-Man has gone beyond to bring you this themed up game of team communication. Matt’s Quiz occurs, we announce last month’s winner of Codenames, and talk about what’s on the geeky radar for this month (Oct 2016).
