Episode Synopsis

Welcome to Episode 93 of The Last Standee Podcast!

This episode we reach theatrical heights as we start up in comedy, trying to make an intro right; let's say that quickly turns into tragedy without pretty much of a warning. I mean, I hope you had fun listening at least half as much we had recording.

Whatevs! In the Standee catch-up we get some notable excerpts from games presented at Essen SPIEL 2024 (heavy-heavy games left off on purpose) and an insight in our broken lives, then it's building time!

Cara builds up momentum with Catacombs Cubes, a perhaps-too-much easygoing game of building blocks in the Catacombs series, then Alessio capitalizes on that with a well-placed rooftop, uh, talk, about Tower Up, a small 2024 hidden gem which is way more complicated to describe than to play.

So, be it building with blocks or blocking buildings, this episode is very construction-centric. Discover with us what happened to Alexis! See you next episode!
