  • 026: Game Design and History with Liz Davidson
    Oct 7 2025

    Liz Davidson is the Solo Games Specialist at Leder Games but her background goes even deeper than solo design. Matt chats with her about historical games, her academic past, and how it all factors into her job designing and developing solo modes (and maybe someday solo-only games?!) for Leder Games.

  • 025: Ahoy - The Smuggler Faction Guide
    Sep 23 2025

    We're back on the high seas this week with Matt and Nick Brachmann! The Smuggler is the asymmetrical vagabondish seat of the Ahoy table who plays their own game, but don't be intimidated because Matt and Nick have your back. With this episode we're rounding out our coverage of the base game of Ahoy so that we can continue forward into the expansions, I hope you're excited for it.
