Tonight, Steve "The Name Father" O'Rourke is back in the Gumbo Pot with BJ, fresh off a visit to PAX UNPLUGGED. But this time, Steve's brought guests -- Julie & Houston, fellow academics and board game aficionados.

The three enlighten BJ about the wonders of Philly, and break down their impressions of games, games, games:

1. Whisperstone (a new RPG from the Flatout Games team)
2. Winter Rabbit (interesting new "4-Cs" game from Absurdist Productions and designer William Thompson)
3. Typeset, Here Lies, and Rosetta (novel games from DVC / Jesper Beatrix)
4. Enthrone (Smirk & Dagger's latest clever two player abstract game)

And finally, for some lagniappe, the four chat up their Envie games, the ones that they really, really want to play: Unmatched Adventures (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), A Place For All My Books, White Rabbit, and Red Letter, Yellow Letter)

So grab a Philly cheesesteak and a cold bottle of Yuengling, and enjoy another Lagniappe episode!

Laissez les bon temps rouler!
