Friend Dave joins us again as we talk about this fun new deck builder! Aeon's End Legacy is a deck builder by Nick Little and Kevin Riley from Indie Boards & Cards

In this episode, we discuss all things Legendary, including Marvel, Alien, Buffy, and the rest. We talk The Quest for El Dorado, which mixes deck building with a spacial race across platters full of different terrain types. We end on Clank! In! Space!, which is a glorious ride through science fiction pop culture with deck building while stealing artifacts from a space ship. It's beautiful. 

Deck/bag/dice builders are games where your starting deck or pool changes throughout the game as you buy more cards or cull cards. We love this mechanic and talk through the game that started it all: Dominion. Other games we discuss are: Thunderstone (all varieties) Clank!

Tableau Building is a fantastic family of games. In this episode, your hosts select a game each and detail how their chosen game utilizes tableau building for fun and profit.  Innovation by Carl Chudyk and Asmadi Games Charterstone by Jamey Stegmaier and Stonemaier games. Near and Far by Ryan Laukat and Red Raven Games

Meeple Nation covers the great family of games with Tableau Building/Engine Building as the core mechanic. From Race for the Galaxy and 7 Wonders to Citadels and Terraforming Mars, tableau builders give players an array or components (cards, tiles, player boards, etc.) to buy, build, manipulate and combine for victory points. You hopefully create an engine for fun and profit.

Meeple Nation was a force at SaltCON this year with 16 events, including the Puzzle Hunt, the Game Show, and lots of Werewolf and other social deduction games. This is our report of all the fun.
