PATREON CAMPAIGN!

We all love producing Our Turn Podcast. When you enjoy something, pouring your heart and soul into it is a labor of love. However, we are constrained by our own resources on what we can do with this podcast. We’d like to do so much more and are asking for your help to make this podcast grow and become better and more entertaining. To enable audience support, we’ve set up a Patreon page where, if you feel so inclined, you can go to support the work we’re doing on this show.

Our first priority is to improve the audio. We know that the audio quality can make or break any show and we are committed to improving it going forward. Our first goal is to purchase better mics for Sarah and Nicole and to obtain some audio equipment to make field interviews better. We also want to make sure that our hosting is secure so that we can continue bringing you this show every two weeks.

As a thank you to our patreon supporters, we are pledged to provide extra content to you. We are working on more exciting shows for the regular podcast, which will ALWAYS be free of charge to everyone. But as a special thank you to our Patreon supporters, we will provide some extra content and we are excited by some of the things we have planned just for you. Any amount, starting at $1 per episode, will get you access to this special extra content.

Our Turn Podcast will ALWAYS be free of charge to everyone. We are committed to being a part of the gaming community and raising awareness of and bringing more women and girls into the gaming hobby – board games, RPGs, and video games – as players, collectors, designers, artists, and publishers. However, if you would like to be a part of our endeavors, please head over to Patreon.com/OurTurnPodcast. Thank you for your support. And thank you to Rachel, Andrew, and Adrienne for supporting us already.

GAME RATING SCALE:

We have started referring to and rating games by a rating scale. Here is how we are using this scale:
5 = Buy this! Buy this now!
4 = A good solid game!
3 = Decent with some bugs.
2 = Has great potential as kindling!
1 = Give me back the time I spent playing it!

Games We Played

Cathy and Sarah share the games that they have played.

Time Management: The Time Management Game: Time Management: The Time Management Game is a quick-playing, tile-laying game. Players are workers at the Office of Time Management, managing the space-time continuum. Their goal is to add temporal workers to the work force and arrange them in such a way to ensure the safety of the continuum and to save time — and save time!

Potion Explosion (Phone App): The official adaptation of Potion Explosion, the award-winning puzzle board game. Play this game solo or against players from all over the world with Solo, Online and Local Pass & Play modes!

Trickerion: Legends of Illusions: Trickerion is a competitive Euro-style strategy game set in a fictional world inspired by the late 19th century urban life and culture, spiced with a pinch of supernatural.

Roll Player: In Roll Player, you will compete to create the greatest fantasy adventurer who has ever lived, preparing your character to embark on an epic quest. Roll and draft dice to build up your character’s attributes. Purchase weapons and armor to outfit your hero. Train to gain skills and discover your hero’s traits to prepare them for their journey. Earn Reputation Stars by constructing the perfect character. The player with the greatest Reputation wins the game and will surely triumph over whatever nefarious plot lies ahead!

Ogre: The basic OGRE game gives one player a force of infantry and armor, and a command post he must defend. The other player has only one unit – but it’s an OGRE. It’s an even match. Advanced games allow solitaire or multi-player action, with OGREs on both sides.

The Interview #1 

Cathy interviews Heather O’Neill of 9th Level Games and game designer, Todd Walsh, about Bearicades which is on Kickstarter now. Here is some of the card art from the game.

Mega Civ Review

Cathy and Frank discuss their experience playing Mega Civilization with 11 other people. They review both the game and the experience playing the game.

The Interview #2

Cathy talks with RPG game designer, Elsa S. Henry about her newly released game, Dead Scare.
