Episode 45: Digital Implementations of Tabletop Games

In Episode 45 of Cards and Cubes, we talk about Anachrony, Exit and Unlock games, Mercado de Lisboa, as well as some area control games we played over a weekend recently including The Expanse: Doors and Corners, A War of Whispers, and Inis.

Our topic this week is “Digital Implementations of Tabletop Games” where we discuss different ways in which games can be implemented in digital format or assisted by a digital application, and our preferences and impressions from the ones we’ve experienced.

Games on the Horizon include Oath: Chronicles of Empire and Exile, Equinox, Anno 1800, Florence.
