Together, we're redefining what it means, looks and feels like, to be doing "woman's work" in the world today. With confidence and the occasional rant. From boardrooms to studios, kitchens to coding dens, we explore the multifaceted experiences of today's woman, confirming that the new definition of "woman's work" is whatever feels authentic, true, and right for you. We're shedding expectations, setting aside the "shoulds", giving our finger to the "supposed tos". We're torching the old playbook and writing our own rules. Who runs the world? You decide.

In this episode, Jacques and Fayyaad address the complex and controversial topic of board game weight — a tricksy term board gamers use to explain how difficult a game is to learn and to play. They go into the different kinds of complexity that are included, discuss various examples across the complexity spectrum, and introduce (very briefly) the great resource site for board gamers, BoardGameGeek. As always, the focus is on helping you as a consumer figure out which board games are suitable for your table and your interests. And they finally get some listener feedback from actual listeners! They were very excited. Thank you for listening! Join the Nerdverse Discord to become part of the conversation and let us know what you thought.

Board games are competitive, right? Well, actually… they don’t need to be. You have a whole spectrum of options when it comes to the number of players and what “winning” looks like. To celebrate the diversity of board gamers and what they want out of a play experience, Jacques and Fayyaad look at the concept of play modes in board games. Because why stick to the expected when you can delve into other, more exciting options? You may be surprised by how many options you have when choosing board games to play. In this episode, Jacques and Fayyaad take a whirlwind tour of the most popular play modes, discussing plenty of variations and examples along the way. By the end of the episode, you should have at least one game or play mode to check out that you’ve never considered before. Thank you for listening!

Actions, reactions, phases, rounds, turns... Have you ever found yourself turned around by too many terms that sound like they all mean the same thing? Fear not! If time gets all wibbly-wobbly on you, you can always look up the rules in the game manual. But if you don't have a specific game on hand, it can help to have a general idea what each of these terms means. In the conclusion of this two-part episode, Fayyaad and Jacques discuss two more terms often used to track time in board games - phases and reactions. They also discuss a few exceptions, and some additional timekeeping terms you may run into. By the end of these episodes, you'll be able to hold your own in conversation with even seasoned gamers.

Time in board games, part 1: Actions, turns, & rounds 26:06

Time flies when you're having fun; even if you're not enjoying the board game you're playing, board games do weird things to the passage of time. But have you ever wondered how to make sense of all the different words used to make sense of time in board games? In the first part of this two-part episode, Fayyaad and Jacques discuss three fundamental terms for tracking time in board games - rounds, turns, and actions. What exactly is the difference between these terms? Do they even mean different things, or are they all just different words for the same thing? Fear not! Things may get tricksy and complicated, but there are ways to figure out what's happening, and when. By the end of these episodes, you'll be able to hold your own in conversation with even seasoned gamers. And more importantly, remember what to do and when. Thank you for listening!

At Nerdverse, we love board games with fun, well-designed themes, and themes that are well integrated into our board games. We also love board games that have no theme at all! Perhaps a board game's theme is one of your primary ways of picking a new game, or a completely unnecessary distraction. In this episode, Fayyaad and Jacques look at different degrees to which theme matters to a game, and give you an overview of what kind of options you have when picking your next game.

Board games don't magically appear just because you want to play a new game. (Trust us, we've tried.) In this episode, Fayyaad and Jacques look at game designers, artists, and publishers and how each contributes to taking a board game from a concept to a physical product you can play with friends. Your hosts discuss a few of their favourite board game creators, but as always, the episode focuses of how knowing these terms can help you learn more about what to look for a board game to play or buy. It also includes a bonus definition (ludography!) and two bonus disclaimers. So join us as we celebrate the marvellous people who make our board games. Thank you for listening!

Components 35:28

For our third episode, we take you on a whirlwind tour of as many components as we could think of. Partly because there are many interesting and fun components that exist, and partly because it's impossible to talk about board games without mentioning specific components. We don't go into too much detail about any individual component or type, but we introduce a number of terms you may not have heard before. And depending on what kind of games you've played, or read about, or watched, you may discover a host of terms you'd like to learn more about. Components are a fundamental building block that make up board games. We talk abot at a variety of objects used as components, including game boards, miniatures, meeples, polyominoes, money, bespoke components, and humble pen and paper. We also discuss table presence, table hogs, and the history of board game components. Like always, we focus on how understanding this terminology helps us learn more about ourselves as gamers and about modern board games. Thank you for listening!

Mechanics 34:27

cách đây 1 year trước34:27

34:27

Do you ever watch a game review and wonder, "But what does any of this mean?" How do you decide whether a board game is for you? Board game mechanics, or mechanisms, are all the moving parts that make a board game a board game. They define what a board game is, how it plays around a table, and what you spend your time doing while you're playing that game. And in a lot of ways, the history of board game mechanics is the history of board games. Join your hosts, Jacques and Fayyaad, as we take you through a brief overview of the history of board game mechanics, looking at some games from as early as 3,500 years BCE, all the way up to modern board games by looking at some mechanics added in the last few years. As always, the focus is on how understanding this jargon term will help you be part of the conversation and how to make better, more informed choices as a consumer and a member of this growing and fascinating hobby.

Introducing the language of board games 28:36

cách đây 1 year trước28:36

28:36

Join your hosts, Jacques van Heerden and Fayyaad Hendricks, on this episode where we discuss why we love board games and how we believe this podcast can help bring new people into the hobby, how it can help you become part of the conversation, and even help you find the games you’ll fall in love with, too. As a hobby, board gaming has exploded in the last couple of years — more so in the past five years than ever before, with more and more people joining the hobby every year. At the same time, the industry has seen constant innovation, with a treasury of new board games being published every year — on Kickstarter and via hobby and gaming stores, not to mention geek or hobby conventions. With the board gaming industry projected to reach a value of about 30 billion USD by 2026, a great deal of creativity and effort is being invested in the hobby. That also means that consumers face a vast selection of games to choose from, which can often make the hobby feel intimidating and confusing. Despite this, we believe board gaming should be fun, exciting, and above all accessible to everyone, which is why we started this podcast — to introduce the language people use when they talk about our favourite hobby. So whether you’ve just discovered modern board games for the first time, or whether you’re an experienced gamer who wants to clarify and explore specific terminology, this is the pod for you!
