Have Games, Will Travel #88

Card-Driven Wargames and the GMT Weekend

• 0:36 - Today, I discuss one of my recent infatuations: the card-driven wargames published by GMT Games. This episode is dedicated to Jason and Scott of the Point 2 Point Podcast.
• 1:32 - This show is a member of the Gaming Broadcast Network.
• 1:40 - In one of my longest segments to date, I give an overview of how card-driven wargames work, using Paths of Glory, Twilight Struggle, and The Napoleonic Wars (plus a little about Wellington) as examples.
• 35:01 - Fraser Ronald from Accidental Survivors says hello.
• 35:08 - I spent last weekend at the GMT Games warehouse in Hanford, CA. In addition to playing some of their card-driven games, I also got a chance to play Down in Flames and to try GMT's new pirate game, Winds of Plunder.
• 41:30 - This show is part of the Gaming Podcast Network.
• 41:41 - I'll be at Gamex over Memorial Day Weekend, but hopefully I'll have a new show for you before then.
