Nosferatu, My First Castle Panic and Civilization - Ep216

The Staying In Podcast - four pals talk video games, board games, movies, and nonsense

We find out why Fireside Games’ co-op boardgame Castle Panic remains a masterpiece and how its wonderfully welcoming all-ages version My First Castle Panic brings in younger players while remaining entertaining for adults. Then a look at why the sheer amount of planning for a weekend playing Avalon Hill’s Civilization has been an early part of the overall joy of running this epic length event game. And the reasons why 100 years of Nosferatu has done nothing to take the sting out of the vampire’s bite.

All that, and Nora going door-to-door, on Ep216.
