400;\">What is the obsession with post-apocalyptic themes in media?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This obsession isn&#8217;t new. \u00a0TV and movies have swarmed the topic using a multitude of earth-shattering events. \u00a0Zombies, disease, mega-corporations, asteroids, weather, nuclear war, and dragons (yes, dragons) have all threatened mankind existence. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why bring this up? \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last week, I was able to see one version of mankind&#8217;s destruction brought to the tabletop. \u00a0This was Outlive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Outlive is a worker placement game set in a post-apocalyptic world. \u00a0A water crisis has struck the planet forcing many to war. This war had claimed many lives and you are some of the remnants of this war.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My interest is starting to circle the drain. The theme here is overused. \u00a0Frankly, I&#8217;m getting tired of it and would rather see themes about being a bee. \u00a0Even window dressing a window for a flower shop is more interesting. I digress; let me take a step back. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Outlive\u2019s game mechanics focus around a system of workers with power levels &#8211; which ranks from 3 to 5. \u00a0These workers and the limited movement system of these workers act as a hindering factor to create tension. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The game board has 8 locations set up in a circular fashion. \u00a0Each location is connected to the other location on either side of it. \u00a0Each worker, hero as the game calls them, stays at the location that they were placed between rounds. \u00a0Once a new round begins, players will reactivate these workers and move them to a new location.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They are limited in several ways &#8211; they cannot move to a location another worker they own is located, they can only move up to 2 locations away from their current place, and they can only move each worker once per round. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Players will also suffer complications if an opponent moves a higher powered worker to their worker&#8217;s location. \u00a0These complications can result in loss of supplies to the other player or a loss of ammunition to fend off the attack.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-1470\" src=\"http:\/\/traversecityboardgamers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/20180906_171724-1024x498.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"243\" srcset=\"https:\/\/traversecityboardgamers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/20180906_171724-1024x498.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/traversecityboardgamers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/20180906_171724-300x146.jpg 300w, https:\/\/traversecityboardgamers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/20180906_171724-768x373.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This form of tension really makes for an interesting gaming experience. \u00a0Every round of worker movement must be meticulous in it\u2019s planning. Order of worker movement, turn order, and availability of supplies must all be considered.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In true postwar and post-apocalyptic fashion, the resources of the game like food, water, wood, metal, microchips, and ammunition are all tight. \u00a0Requirements of water and food to keep your tribe, the survivors at your home base that you will call points, alive. Wood, Metal, and microchips will be used to create new rooms in your underground vault and equipment for your workers. \u00a0Ammunition is used, as previously stated, to fend off attacks from other players, but ammunition can also be used to for hunting for food. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Praise for this title is high, but it does carry with it some unresolved baggage. \u00a0I have concerns about the replayability of the game. The randomly drawn events that trigger every round and leader cards that are dealt at the beginning of the game provide some variability. \u00a0Be that as it may, the gameplay and strategies remain unchanged. These factors merely change the priorities of goods on the table. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These concerns, mind you, are from a single play. \u00a0Obviously, first-time play bias may be at work here. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overall, my play experience was a very positive one. \u00a0The game is well designed with some unique mechanics that give a certain flair that a typical worker placement game lacks. \u00a0These unique mechanics, worker power levels, tie in beautifully with its theme of the haphazard post-apocalyptic life.\u00a0 My slight issues with the game are still lingering, but I\u2019m hopeful that they are merely an issue with me as a player.\u00a0 Our post-apocaluptic futures can only tell.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/cnY1DKzfys8\">Watch a full playthrough of Outlive with this Youtube video from JonGetsGames.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1471 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/traversecityboardgamers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_20180906_175815_490.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"565\" srcset=\"https:\/\/traversecityboardgamers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_20180906_175815_490.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/traversecityboardgamers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_20180906_175815_490-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/traversecityboardgamers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_20180906_175815_490-768x402.jpg 768w, https:\/\/traversecityboardgamers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_20180906_175815_490-1024x536.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Benac_Briefing\"><\/span>The Benac Briefing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"by_Eric_Benac\"><\/span>by Eric Benac<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Running a game night with family members or even a few buddies takes a lot more work than you might think. Just ask Kyle about how much work he has to put in every week to haul his 20+ games to Earthen Ales. And that&#8217;s just the physical labor. Having to choose a good selection of new games and old favorites likely drives him up the wall every week. However, even putting together a small one-game night once a week is a major challenge.<\/p>\n<p>First of all, you have to find enough people to play. That isn&#8217;t always as easy as it seems. There are over a dozen regulars who come to Earthen Ales either every Sunday or when possible. However, our mid-week game nights are often hard to figure out. First of all, finding enough people for a game is often a hassle. Secondly, finding the right game to play is like finding the perfect snowflake \u2013 the moment you think you have it in your hand, it&#8217;s going to melt away and leave you clueless.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, running a game night isn&#8217;t exactly rocket science. If it&#8217;s something that I can figure out, it&#8217;s an activity that anybody can do. That&#8217;s why I brainstormed a few tips that you can use the next time you run a game night. And if it&#8217;s your first time trying one out, you need to follow these guidelines to ensure things go smoothly:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-1266\" src=\"http:\/\/traversecityboardgamers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180619_215559-1024x498.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"233\" srcset=\"https:\/\/traversecityboardgamers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180619_215559-1024x498.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/traversecityboardgamers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180619_215559-300x146.jpg 300w, https:\/\/traversecityboardgamers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180619_215559-768x373.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>1. Try to Think of a Theme<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 When creating a game night, try to think of a theme for each event. For example, October is\u00a0only a month away, meaning that horror and Halloween-themed games should be busted out as much as possible. Focusing on a simple unifying theme makes it easier to choose the best games.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>2. Pick a Good Location<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 If you have a quiet place in your house where you can play games, you&#8217;re already on the path to much win. However, not everybody has that kind of luxury. As a result, you might have to go to a bar or a restaurant to play. Choose a spot with good lighting, friendly staff, and good food (and brews). Earthen Ales became our spot of choice because the large windows provide plenty of light, the staff is incredibly friendly, and their beers are tasty.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>3. Narrow Your Selection Down to About Four<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 Bringing too many games to a small and personal game night is going to make it much harder to pick something to play. Limiting it to a handful of games, anywhere from 2-4, is a good choice. It forces players to make a choice and, even if they don&#8217;t know the game, it does limit excessive debate.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1472 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/traversecityboardgamers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_20180903_070313_123-1024x536.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/traversecityboardgamers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_20180903_070313_123-1024x536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/traversecityboardgamers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_20180903_070313_123-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/traversecityboardgamers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_20180903_070313_123-768x402.jpg 768w, https:\/\/traversecityboardgamers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_20180903_070313_123.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>4. Don&#8217;t Forget Snacks<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 Many games can take a few hours to finish, meaning you&#8217;re likely to get hungry or thirsty. We usually have a few beers at each of our midweek game nights. These are community liquor, meaning we often share and swap. Sometimes, we even bring food to swap. Last Sunday, Kyle brought meatballs to die for and Kate baked an incredible \u201cSettlers of Catan\u201d spread of cookies. Delicious and creative!<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>5. Pay Attention to the Game Runner<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 Getting together is always a social occasion and you&#8217;re likely going to want to chat before the game starts. That&#8217;s understandable, but the game runner is going to be annoyed if you&#8217;re talking and miss her instructions. Trust me when I say having to explain rules multiple times because somebody was talking about \u201cGame of Thrones\u201d makes game night just a bit more annoying.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>6. Be Respectful<\/em> <\/strong>\u2013 A bit of trash talk with your friends is always welcome if you know each other well. But you need to respect a person&#8217;s boundaries and never directly insult them.\u00a0It&#8217;s a fine line between fun trash talk and angry insults. Just remember that it is only a game and that alienating a friend by hurting their feelings is never cool.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-1473\" src=\"http:\/\/traversecityboardgamers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_20180903_070313_103-1024x536.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/traversecityboardgamers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_20180903_070313_103-1024x536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/traversecityboardgamers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_20180903_070313_103-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/traversecityboardgamers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_20180903_070313_103-768x402.jpg 768w, https:\/\/traversecityboardgamers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_20180903_070313_103.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s not so bad now, is it? Of course not. Game nights should be a fun experience and something that brings you closer to your fellow gamers. Don&#8217;t hesitate<\/p>\n<p>to break out your favorite game the next time you&#8217;re bored and learn more about why board games are more popular than ever.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Next_Time_with_Noller\"><\/span>Next Time with Noller<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"by_David_Noller\"><\/span>by David Noller<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On Sunday, I became the living embodiment of frustration. Because board games.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In response to what I am certain was light-hearted, fun, playful gameplay, I grew angry and frustrated. My torso felt corseted, each breath came shallow, my heart beat hard, and my mouth could not stop forming and speaking the words, \u201cShut the [bleep] up,\u201d albeit mostly under my breath.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I don\u2019t like being told what to do. I like figuring out the answer for myself. I like to ask questions, and I like hearing from experts. It might be strategies for Splendor, recommendations for which Hugo Award winner to read, or the best technique for mixing scone batter for the best texture. I seek out information and then I respond to it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I always reserve the right to choose how I think.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On Sunday, two other players and a spectator spent each of my turns telling me what to do. One would loudly proclaim the obvious play; one would goad me to take that action; the spectator would add his particularly unnecessary two cents, which frankly, he should have spent elsewhere.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The suggestions offered (loudly and laughingly) were usually actions I had already determined to take, or had reason to take after two seconds of thought. But I didn\u2019t want to do it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taking the action meant taking the action I had been told to take, and not taking the action would have been just a rejection of reasonable advice. In neither case would my action be my action. It was only and always the thinking and the reasoning of those others, their choices passing through my hand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That was the origin of the frustration that moved so quickly from the emotional to the physical.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ultimately, I stopped caring about the game completely. I stopped looking for advantage. I stopped trying to learn the game. I wasn\u2019t playing, anyway. They were playing for me. I texted friends, checked Facebook and Twitter, and withdrew, since others were making my choices for me, anyway.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019ve been an odd combination of wildly insecure and hyper-confident as long as I can remember. I always assume I can be the best, while I get sick to my stomach over the fact that others don\u2019t think so. That frustration is creeping back into my chest as I write this, wondering who will think this article is great, and who will judge it as unprofessional, amateurish, and pedantic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With board games, it\u2019s easier\u2014my struggle ends, 30-180 minutes later, with either self-deprecating humor if I fail, or a grinning \u201cHell yeah!\u201d if I succeed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Success is personal. As a prototypical representative of Generation X, success is about doing it myself. I love cooperative games, but I tend to celebrate my own contributions more than I congratulate the team\u2014at least inside my head. I like competitive games, too, especially when I do well on my first or second try, and especially against people who have a history with the game. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So when you take away my opportunity to learn the game, when you take away my opportunity to experience choice and consequence, when you use my turn as an extension of your turn, you take away the part of gaming that makes it transformative.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ve probably heard me say, \u201cNext time,\u201d after losing a challenging game \u2014 you may not know that this really only comes out when I felt I\u2019ve done well, even in a loss, but I recognize that I am still learning the game. You won\u2019t hear it if I play poorly, or when I have judged myself and my play. It\u2019s a mark of self-respect, and it\u2019s really just me talking to myself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Playing board games is silly. We move figures we call \u201cmeeple\u201d to collect wood, ore, and stone; we build temples, outhouses or skyscrapers; we command forest critters, superheroes, or flower shopkeepers; we stack dice, wooden shapes, and blue domes atop white bases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We do all this because it helps me be a better I, and it helps us be a better we.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We learn strategies. We develop confidence. We build our resilience. We generate creativity. We establish identity. We make friends \u2014 often with people, we might not otherwise ever know. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maybe this seems like a long-winded way to say \u201cStop telling me what to do.\u201d That is not, however, the central point. I didn\u2019t like my reaction on Sunday. I didn\u2019t like getting frustrated and feeling how I felt. I bear some shame in that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I don\u2019t blame my friends for getting caught up in the enthusiasm of the game. They tried to help me during a game I didn\u2019t yet know. I appreciate the enthusiasm, and I\u2019m often grateful for the assist. This time, however, it was too much for me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From the first round, I never made a choice that wasn\u2019t already someone else\u2019s. When I finally rushed a play without commentary, it was roundly criticized for its obvious lack of strategy. I had already stopped caring about the game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This isn\u2019t about blaming or complaining and it\u2019s not a personal appeal to spend others\u2019 turns in silence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The central point is really found within a simple question, and it\u2019s why we all got started in gaming in the first place, and it\u2019s what makes us want to keep playing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can I play?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span
