Red in Tooth and Paw - Table Topics #3

This is a games filled bash as Justen and Tom return from Congress of Gamers.

Includes hating on Terraforming Mars. 22:20 Pandemic: Reign of Cthulhu actually brings something new to the tired co-op genre 25:05 Justen and Tom savage Britannia, a game that is best left to time 34:25 Thebes is a solid push-your-luck game where you engage in the European pastime of stealing from other cultures 36:00 Root is a game Justen is cautiously optimistic while Tom is hesitant, plus a discussion on asymmetry and why it's so difficult to design 53:00 "Player Regulated" games and why "balance" is less important in massive conflict games than providing players with the tools necessary to encourage meaningful interaction
