Crunch is a clever card game about the banking industry and bailouts. (11:42)
The folks at Terrorbull games create political sarcastic games that teach a lesson while having you explore a topic. The games are irreverent and not politically correct, but are fun!

Excape is a clever press-your-luck dice game. (9:04)
The classic press-your-luck German game Exxtra has been recently “rethemed” and made into Excape. It’s a light game where players roll the dice and decide to take the roll or re-roll, hoping for a better score but risking losing their turn. Players can then set how far they want to move on the board in a second mechanic of interaction and risk-taking.

Small World is a light battle game where players guide various fantasy races in surviving a land grab in a Small World. (18:00)
Days of Wonder has remade Vinci into a lighter battle game called Small World. In this game, players take on races of fantasy characters on a land that is too small for them and wacky battles ensue!

Formula D is a remake of a classic roll-and-move car racing game. (10:51)
Welcome back!
Over the last few months, I’ve been going through a lot of thinking about Board Games with Scott. I have been burning out on the old format, and I’ve decided to make some changes. I posted a few questions over at Scott’s Stuff (http://www.youtube.com/snicholson), and have done some soul-searching.
Welcome to the new Board Games with Scott! The biggest change I’ll be making is shortening the shows. I’m not going to be doing all of the rules, but rather, presenting a broader overview of the game. I’m removing many of the cut-aways, section breaks, and other time-consuming edits.
I’m also going to be doing some experimentation with technology and format. It’s akin to starting over, as I’ll be learning again more about creating videos. I’ve also decided to discontinue the BGWS audio-only feed.
