Tonight, Steve "The Name Father" O'Rourke is back in the Gumbo Pot with BJ, fresh off a visit to PAX UNPLUGGED. But this time, Steve's brought guests -- Julie & Houston, fellow academics and board game aficionados.

The three enlighten BJ about the wonders of Philly, and break down their impressions of games, games, games:

1. Whisperstone (a new RPG from the Flatout Games team)
2. Winter Rabbit (interesting new "4-Cs" game from Absurdist Productions and designer William Thompson)
3. Typeset, Here Lies, and Rosetta (novel games from DVC / Jesper Beatrix)
4. Enthrone (Smirk & Dagger's latest clever two player abstract game)

And finally, for some lagniappe, the four chat up their Envie games, the ones that they really, really want to play: Unmatched Adventures (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), A Place For All My Books, White Rabbit, and Red Letter, Yellow Letter)

So grab a Philly cheesesteak and a cold bottle of Yuengling, and enjoy another Lagniappe episode!

Laissez les bon temps rouler!

Some of these games were complimentary copies given to the channel or to Southern Board Game Fest courtesy of the publisher.
