What I'm Playing Now - Episode 43

September 29, 2014/ Joe Leuzzi

Hey gamers this is Joe with another WIPNcast. This week I mention several good deals in the What I'm Leeching now section of the show. I then jump over to the news where I talk about Blizzards cancellation of their in development MMO Titan, I also talk about Wiz Kids and Wizards of the Coast teaming up to make a new DnD board game. I discuss several other news stories and then talk about a few of the games I played this week like, Project Gorgon, Fibbage and Hacker Evolution: Duality as well as a few others. I then end the show with What I Want to Play and that of course is Middle-Earth: The Shadow of Mordor. Enjoy the episode!

Kim and I played a game of #Fresco from @queengames_us We haven't played this one in a while and it's such a good game. #fresco #bgg #boardgames #art

For being a little Roll & Write this game is definitely a little thing!! I can see this one being a nice filler that gets some good play time. @queengames_us #rollnwrite #boardgames #bgg #pandemic2020

Fun fact: 1949--In the midst of the polio epidemic--a disease that placed tens of thousands of children inside iron lungs, and many thousands more around the country quarantined at home--a young San Diego schoolteacher named Eleanor Abbott invented Candy Land, one of the most popular board games of all time. Abbott created the game inside a polio ward, as a patient herself, with the hope of giving the immobilized children around her a momentary sense of freedom and mobility. As a way of further connecting with the kids, Abbott featured on the game board an illustration of a boy with a leg brace. Milton Bradley was quick to buy the game from Abbott. And to this day, Candy Land continues to be popular, more than 65 years after the disease was eradicated. Of course so many of us played this game as kids, but I found the back story fascinating. Who knew ? Makes me wonder ...what will be invented from this pandemic?

Woohoo, look what was just delivered. Guess I know how we'll be spending our Sunday😉 #endeavor @grandgamersguild @burntislandgames
