In extrasode 5 of Carnagecast, Munk, Rachel, Sarah and Tyler drive home in the driving rain from Spring Meltdown in Lyndonville, one of the Green Mountain Gamers’ game days held around Vermont. How do you pass the time during a two hour ride from Lyndonville to Burlington? Talk about what you did during the day, of course.
Conversation gets into some of the new games played — Nefarious, Power Grid: The First Sparks, Lords of Waterdeep and more — the subtleties of certain personalities in the local Battlestar Galactica cadre and whether it’s okay for caribou and mammoth meeples not to be scaled to each other.

First, as a concerned (war)gamer, I hope that “First Sparks” has hexagons not hexagrams. I suspect it would be an entirely different game with hexagrams…
Second, I appreciate the shout out to Norwegians (as someone who is half Norwegian himself).
Thirdly, stop costing me money, as I may just need to get a copy of Prêt-à-Porter (no matter how you pronounce it).
Regards,
Bob
You’re right, Bob. They’re hexagons, not hexagrams. I never considered the potential difference before now.
Sadly, though, only you can save yourself money. I wish you the best with that endeavor!
