Meet Dan and Bryan, 2 millennials fast approaching middle age. Join us while we recap the animated series that played a major role in shaping our (as well as many of your) childhood: the 1987 Fred Wolf produced Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

You asked and we're here to provide! For months Dane has been leaving a trail of bread crumbs. And recently that trail led to some substantial components! The Galactic Council has asked us to talk about what seems to be brewing in Dane's Workshop. Here's the thing...it's not actually very much so get ready for us to make a lot out of very little...…

Hunter's out on tour this week which means Matt needed a new friend! Good for him he works with some pretty cool folks, including Nick Brachmann! Nick is a Senior Developer at Leder Games and is responsible for the upcoming Ahoy: New Horizons expansion. It more than doubles what is possible in Ahoy and Matt has been playing a lot of it recently. Le…

It's a Muaat Guide! Embers of Muaat is one of those factions that some people in the community insist is "actually really good." I haven't been convinced, but they do have tools that can FEEL good if everything else went right. What does it take to get this faction from their bad start and to a game that feels good? Music provided by Ben Prunty. Fi…

More Arcs! And this time, we've got Hunter around. He's been thinking about the Overseer for months now and is ready to get it all off of his chest. Meanwhile, EJ and Matt are back, this time with the Upstart and Rebel. It's a mix of Leaders that all seem to want to strike very early in different ways which honestly made it incredibly difficult to …

Here begins a series of SCPT episodes that will absolutely get to the deep dark depths of strategy you've been waiting for. The show really begins here, everything else has just been a precursor.

Sit your butts down and get ready to be schooled in the classroom by your god-tier Winnu player: THE MATT MARTENS. Jk Winnu is bad and we'll cover in depth the why and the how. There is a lot of useful information here for those of you that feel the determination to pilot them regardless of their ineptitude. It's one of our shorter super guides but…

We've got one more episode about the big Championship match we had back on May 4th. When the Finals finish, everyone involved is always so exhausted that it's impossible to squeeze in any post-game report or interview. So instead, we decided to wait a week and take a full hour to hang out with this year's winner! See, good things come to those who …

In this episode we talk about the Finals of the SCPT 2024 Twillight Imperium tournament. THERE ARE SPOILERS. So don't listen if you don't want the outcome of the tournament spoiled. We also talk generally about how the tournament went and what we see as the future of our events. It's a bit of a beach episode, but one that could have future conseque…

THE FINALS ARE ON MAY 4th, Saturday starting at 15:00 UTC (10AM Central). Come watch at https://www.twitch.tv/spacecatspeaceturtles As is our yearly tradition we bring you interviews from Matt and Hunter with all six of your finalists.

It is finally time to dig in deeper to Arcs! The base game adds asymmetry to each player via the Leaders, and it's more asymmetry than many of us realized. Our excitement just wasn't enough; we had to go and recruit Shut Up and Sit Down's Tom Brewster to join us in presenting three Leaders and offering up what strategic insights we could muster. We…

This week we're back to our classic formula and doing a deep dive on one of our favorite aggressive factions: THE L1Z1X. This one has a fun energy and we really go to town on these guys, I wish we had more positives to say but I think spiritually L1 is too cool to be the best so let's just enjoy them for what they do best. Watch the Semi-Finals thi…

This month's Galactic Council Poll episode is coming to your a week early! We needed the time to prepare for new episodes. We also talk a lot about the upcoming TOURNAMENT 6 SEMI-FINALS. This episode contains the schedule for those games in the rundown so check that out. See you at the first 3 semis games this weekend at https://www.twitch.tv/space…

This episode is for the competitive scene as the boys talk about how they feel about the soon to be finished prelims round of this year's tournament. How has the process been? Are there things we would like to improve? When do the semis start? All these questions will be answered somehow! Music provided by Ben Prunty. Find more at benpruntymusic.co…

We've been teasing this for a while, but today's episode is a very special one as we are joined by our first-ever guest, and one of the 'godfathers' of TMNT podcasting. Educator, musician, and founder of 'The Ninja Turtles Minute' Mr. Scott Tofte is joining us for an extra bodacious review of one of our collective favorite episodes, 'Cowabunga Shre…

Uh oh, it looks like we've saved a lot of the "bad" factions for last which means all of these Super guides are about to get a lot more FUN. Mentak, the most autocorrected faction, is definitively COOL and NEAT, but can struggle to score points... Let us examine why! Music provided by Ben Prunty.

Surprise surprise, Cory's fired up about something! Let's tune in and find out why he's an asshole THIS week!corymcdonald tarafından oluşturuldu

Beach episode time! This week we've taken the Galactic Council poll results and really ran with it. Instead of just hearing about what games Matt and Hunter are looking forward to we've basically asked everyone we know to submit their games. Get your pen and paper out because you about to get a big ol' list of interesting suggestions from people wi…

This week, we're tackling a much requested topic. 8 Player Games! Matt and Hunter have both done some research and are reporting on strategic differences they found in their limited experience. Lot's of talk is devoted to why we don't prefer the player count so prepare yourself. We've also got an excellent discussion with Tactic Blue on the upcomin…

More Arcs! We're having a lovely time learning this new game and before we start diving into guides for different Leaders and eventually getting into the Campaign expansion (where we'll spend most of our time), we needed one more episode covering the basics. We've talked about the limited action economy of the game and alluded to the fact that you …

Let's do another Faction Strategy Guide! Universities of Jol-Nar are discussed a lot. They've been around since the very beginning, and in every edition of the game they've been a powerful faction. They have a -1 to combat and that just doesn't seem to hold them back! So what makes them good and how can we best harness their power? Music provided b…
