Show #24: Redux of our Top Ten Games Lists

In Show 24.0, Mark and Jeff revisit the show topic of the Premier Episode of Gameopolis: our Top Ten Games lists. After 3-and-a-half years of podcasting, it was apparent that these lists needed to be revisited. Before going into our Top Ten lists, however, we satisfy tradition by opening up a Dusty Old Box. Mark presents Jeff with a Dusty Old Box from his past, and we discuss an overview of the rules, and the things Mark finds most memorable about the game. After the Dusty Old Box segment, Mark and Jeff do a coin toss (specifically, a dubloon toss) to determine who kicks-off the Top Ten lists. For each game, we give a brief description and then chat about the elements of the game that landed it on the Top Ten List. In our Sign-off, we briefly discuss the role IOS games have played in our recent gaming lives, and we extend the invite to our listeners to join us for some virtual gaming. You can find us on Game Center as "stinkytom" and "Funky-Bass-Jeff". We'd love to hear from you, so if you get a second, please post a comment to this blog entry (at or gameopolis.libsyn.com), or send us an email at info@gameopolis.org! 00:00:00 Prelude 00:05:08 Dusty Old Box 00:18:44 The Dubloon Toss... 00:19:35 Mark's : Warhammer 40K 00:22:41 Jeff's : Commands & Colors Ancients 00:26:54 Jeff's : Gamma World 00:35:39 Mark's : Battletech 00:41:09 Mark's : Blackbeard 00:43:54 Jeff's : Pandemic 00:47:42 Jeff's : Battlefront WW2 00:55:02 Mark's : Stone Age 00:59:43 Jeff's : Car Wars 01:02:51 Mark's : DragonStar 01:06:18 Mark's : Dungeons & Dragons 01:10:35 Jeff's : Magic: the Gathering 01:17:38 Mark's : Pandemic 01:18:21 Jeff's : Axis & Allies 01:23:45 Mark's : Awful Green Things 01:26:51 Jeff's : War of the Ring 01:31:42 Mark's : Arkham Horror 01:33:45 Jeff's : Dungeons & Dragons 01:34:33 Mark's : Merchant of Venus 01:38:37 Jeff's : Battletech 01:39:58 Summary, reflections on IOS Games, and Signoff Stay tuned for Show 24.5 --our session report on one of our Top Ten games-- coming soon.
