This time, it's Mike Grade, founder of Rock Manor Games (and designer of Lawyer Up!) and Clarence Simpson, designer of the hit game amongst the Gumbo Krewe, The Wolves! We reviewed: The Quacks of Quedlinberg Wander Towers And there is a heaping helping of Southern Board Game Fest advertise---errr---news sprinkled all over the show. Lots of inside baseball? Sure, but the Chat Krewe is bubbling with excitement about the best board game convention south of Vidrine, Louisiana! But wait there's more! The big feature was a deep dive into MERCHANTS OF MAGICK, and the two brand new expansions hitting Kickstarter this week from Rock Manor Games! Mike and Clarence tell us about the development, give us insights into the game process, and talk about all the new content! And finally, it's not Gumbo Live! unless we play a game with the Chat Krewe -- this time Steve and I and Clarence go head-to-head with Mike Gnade's brain, in THE ENVIE GAME. But there's a shocking twist as to the winner! You'll have to listen to the Chat Krewe's contributions to believe it! Merchants of Magick expansions crowdfunding project is on Kickstarter right now and has already funded: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mikegnade/merchants-of-magick-dangerous-business Thanks for listening!

The Krewe of Board Game Gumbo chats with Daryl Chow (from Origame ) and Josh Cappel (from Burnt Island Games ) during their big Kickstarter for In Too Deep . BJ digs the theme: players will "hack" into the minds of cyber enhanced criminals and try to bring down The Syndicate. But if they get too corrupted -- "in too deep" -- they risk losing it all. It is out on Kickstarter from Burnt Island Games. They also chat about some of the recent hot games Daryl and BJ have played: Remember Our Trip Kopi King Plantopia: The Card Game Crazy Octopus Smartphone Inc. Status Update 1.1 Finally, the Name Father is back and only 22% distracted by the Islanders deep run into the playoffs. Steve is focused tonight on The Envie Game -- Daryl & Josh have picked one game together that they have the envie to play. Had Steve and BJ done their usual homework, instead of worrying about hockey and hurricanes, they might have picked this one up pretty easily, but instead, there is a shocking twist ending!
