Games of the Week
• Comanchería: The Rise and Fall of the Comanche Empire (3:24)
My initial overview of Comanchería, which is finally on the table. This game models 175 years of conflict in the interior US West from the perspective of the Comanche. I got the first scenario set up, which takes place in the 1700s. Join me for a quick tour of the board.

• Chaos in the Old World (39:00)
Lastly, I take you back to a summer night in Portland: The last time I ever got to play Chaos in the Old World, Fantasy Flight Games’ asymmetrical masterpiece of the age. I won the game. But I was about to lose everyone at the table.
Track of the Week
(50:39)
I've been spinning Kool Keith alter-ego Dr. Dooom's First Come, First Served LP all the time. This led me to the small but scintillating discography of Motion Man, a talented Bay Area underground journeyman with gobs of style and technique. My goal here is to put him somewhere on your playlist.
