"Welcome, dear listeners, to another riveting episode of Two Wood for a Wheat! Today, we delve into the mysterious realms of the new game sensation, Legacy of Yu, where strategy meets sorcery and dice rolls hold the fate of empires. Join us as we bravely navigate the treacherous waters of punishing board game mechanics, where victory is hard-won and defeat leaves you craving redemption. Grab your dice, sharpen your wits, and prepare for a wild ride through the lands of chance and strategy!"At least that's what ChatGPT thought I should say when I got lazy and wanted it to write a summary for me. But the robots have not done their research.Legacy of Yu is actually a solo deck building legacy game brought to you by Shem Phillips and illustrated by his brother Sam Phillips. One of us thinks it's one of the best solo games of the year while the other thinks something... else. Well, then we're punishing ourselves with the elements of punishing games.00:07:50 Bunny Kingdom00:11:12 Ark Nova00:13:22 Applejack, Earth, It's a Wonderful World00:14:40 Frosthaven00:16:24 FEATURE REVIEW Legacy of Yu00:16:32 Raiders of the North Sea, ... of the West Kingdom, ... of the South Tigris00:27:33 Pandemic00:44:55 FEATURE DISCUSSION The Elements of Punishing Games00:46:00 Agricola00:46:15 Ark Nova00:49:39 Barrage00:51:58 Cosmic Frog00:53:41 Blood Rage00:55:13 Resurgence00:57:42 Pandemic, Pavlov's House01:00:10 Terra Mystica01:04:21 Heaven and Ale01:05:42 Food Chain Magnate01:09:41 Argent the ConsortiumJoin us in the conversation on discord: https://tinyurl.com/2wood4wheatAsk us a question at [email protected] us a review on Apple podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/two-wood-for-a-wheat/id1447901771Read Tony's blog: https://boardgamegeek.com/user/maxlongstreet/blogsThanks to God Street Wine for our intro and outro music: https://www.facebook.com/GodStreetWine/
