Episode 97 - The Impression That I Get
January 30, 2020
Ambie and Crystal discuss a couple games they've played recently, including City of the Big Shoulders and Fantastic Factories. We then talk about how important first impressions of a board game can be. In this week's "Board Game Etymology" segment, Crystal discusses the origins of the word "opinion."
City of the Big Shoulders Impressions

Note: I received a free review copy of City of the Big Shoulders from Parallel Games.
It’s not really a secret that I’m into economic games and 18xx games. When I read the rules to City of the Big Shoulders, an economic game with stock holding, worker placement, and factory production, it sounded a lot like a mix between Arkwright and 18xx to me. Since I love both of those, I was excited to try out City of the Big Shoulders.
