Indie Game Giveaway + Tannhäuser, the Lost Skirmish Gem|Episode 110

How the hell do you make a product called Tony’s Chocolonely and not do a special Valentine’s Day bar with a fentanyl center and a little space on the wrapper to write a suicide haiku.

Games of the Week (3:14)

• I’m giving away creations from The Seahorse and The Hummingbird, Grumpy Spider Games, Long Tail Games and Ada Press. Listen for how to win the whole pile.

• The Fantasy Flight Games golden age retrospective continues with a look at Tannhäuser, an ambitious, glossy FFG rework of an existing alternate-universe squad skirmish game that went for it all. It won us over, at least.

Track of the Week (23:29)
An irresistible internally rhymed hip hop vocal sample leads us from 1997’s “Dirt” by Death in Vegas back to Hip Hop First Lady Roxanne Shanté in her late-career attempt to declare war with every female rapper.

Don’t forget to listen for contest clues in both Games of the Week and Track of the Week in this episode.
