After an early summer break, Boardgame Babylon returns with a session review show featuring some of the top games from our demo tables at Gamex 2009, including:

Days of Wonder's Small World designed by Phillip Keyaerts

Z-Man's Archaeology: The Card Game by Phil Harding

Asmodee's Snow Tails by Fraser and Gordon Lamont

I was a bit out of practice and so I convinced Christina to join me on the microphone since she's actually played all the games included – and she ends up getting us to also talk briefly about Friedemann Friese's Fast Flowing Forest Fellers and a game I mentioned liking before on this podcast, Antoine Bauza's Hurry'Cup.

Also mentioned during the show was the convention debut of short film "Boggle Nights". If you'd like to see this fun view into the 'world of competitive Boggle' by filmmakers Richard Castrence and Rachel Hart, check it out here. Gamers should find some good laughs in it.

Thanks for downloading and listening to Boardgame Babylon.
