Episode 33 - Rolling Smart

The team dare to roll and welcome the excellent Mike Barnes back to the cast. This episode we cover the announcement of the Teburu smart board, along with how to pronounce it, Spiel des Jahres winners, deaths of some giants of the industry, Digital innovations and much more. In Brainstorm we turn our attention to the biggest conventions and ask if there are just too many games.   Headlines   Mike Brunton & Richard Berg die https://twitter.com/RBMStudio1/status/1154885530649165825?s=09 https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgamedesigner/135/richard-h-berg https://twitter.com/cubicle7/status/1153270713228419077    CMON announces smart tech https://www.cmon.com/news/teburu-a-new-evolution-in-board-games    Spiel des Jahres winners announced https://www.cmon.com/news/teburu-a-new-evolution-in-board-games    News   Terraforming Mars Digital Studio shuts https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/346822/Terraforming_Mars_dev_LuckyHammers_has_closed_down.php    Bezier Games digital 'try before you buy' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCJtl6yO73E&feature=youtu.be     D&D in U.S. prisons https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kleercreative/lets-play-dungeons-and-dragons-behind-bars?ref=project_link#  https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/padk7z/how-inmates-play-tabletop-rpgs-in-prisons-where-dice-are-contraband https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/yvwnpx/dragons-in-the-department-of-corrections   40k Eisenhorn series in development https://www.warhammer-community.com/press_releases/games-workshop-and-frank-spotnitz-to-create-live-action-warhammer-40000-tv-series/    Outro   Ticket to Ride 15th Anniversary  https://icv2.com/articles/news/view/43693/days-wonder-unveils-15th-anniversary-edition-ticket-ride    Who Dares Rolls http://www.whodaresrolls.com/     Contact Us   iTunes – https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/brainwaves-board-game-and-tabletop-news-show/id1367090522?mt=2 Twitter – https://twitter.com/thegiantbrain Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/giantbrainuk/ Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/thegiantbrain/ Website – http://www.giantbrain.co.uk/ Email – giantbrainuk@gmail.com
