Episode 163 – The Long Games

ttvsmallIn this week’s show we step away from our reviews of video and audio media and step into the universe of gaming. First we delve into two table top formats, number one being Doctor Who Monopoly. We’ll give our impressions on design and gameplay. Next up is Doctor Who the Card Game, and a look at the play mechanics and design. And then we move into the electronics and software medium and finally get around to a proper review of the wonderful portable device app, Doctor Who Legacy by Tiny Rebel Games.

Also, a Galley primer for those of you getting to attend this year. Hopefully some of our top tips will help you in your convention experience.

Plus, the news of the week, including the future of Steven Moffat as it relates to Doctor Who and Sherlock.

And, of course, your feedback.

Enjoy!
