Episode 574: Games that use movement points Episode release date is April 2, 2025
Show Notes
This week we are doing a one episode discussion of games that use movement points as a movement. What are movement points you ask? Well, movement points regulate how far a player can move their pieces during the game.
Sometimes movement points can be part of a larger pool of actions, and movement can be part of or one of those actions.
In short, movement points provide a structured way to manage in game movement while adding a tactical element to gameplay.
So let’s make it a point to move to the game table and discuss some games.

Episode 573: Games with Multi-Use cards we don’t own- Show Notes Episode release date is April 2, 2025
This week wraps up our look at games featuring Multi-Use cards, focusing on highly-rated titles we haven't yet added to our collection. As a reminder, Multi-Use cards offer strategic depth by allowing a single card to serve multiple purposes. These purposes can include acting as text-based abilities, resources, life counters, or even determining player order, as well as many other options.
