We aim for most Ludology episodes to be timeless, so you are welcome to explore our entire catalog. It was once on The Dice Tower, but has since moved full-time to Ludology. GameTek Classic episodes were once broadcast on The Dice Tower podcast, while other GameTek episodes were recorded specially for Ludology.īiography of a Board Game is a series hosted by Scott Rogers that explores the history behind classic and modern board games. GameTek is a long-running feature from the Dice Tower podcast by Ludology co-founder Geoff Engelstein that explores the math and science behind games. On weeks where there is no flagship Ludology episode, we will alternate between two smaller mini-sodes. We generally focus on tabletop game design (mainly board games and RPGs), but we often pull in experts from all forms of games, from video games to escape rooms to slot machines. In these episodes, hosts Erica Bouyouris, Gil Hova, Scott Rogers, and Sen-Foong Lim deep-dive into a single topic within game design, often with a well-regarded guest from the game industry.

We post a new Ludology episode every other week. Rather than news and reviews, Ludology explores a variety of topics about games from a wider lens, as well as discuss game history, game design and game players. We will be sure to keep you informed when said crowdfunding campaign is open for business.Welcome to Ludology, an analytical discussion of the hows and whys of the world of board games. The video game itself utilizes a card-based system for its character building and its combat, and thus the title should translate very well to the tabletop environment.Īn official Kickstarter for the Slay the Spire: The Board Game is set to launch this spring, with details regarding targets and stretch goals still to be revealed. Slay the Spire, which officially launched on PC a little over a year ago before coming to consoles, has players battle through a procedurally generated tower of doom, hacking through hordes of enemies while gathering loot, relics, and magic abilities. "Craft a unique deck, encounter bizarre creatures, discover relics of immense power, and finally become strong enough to Slay the Spire!" "Slay the Spire is a co-operative deck-building adventure," reads a brief blurb from Contention Games. As revealed by Contention Games, the team behind card game Imperium, Slay the Spire will translate the fantasy roguelike into a co-operative table-topper for 1-4 players. MegaCrit's tower-climbing indie hit Slay the Spire is being converted into a board game.
