93: Blocks, Building (Catacombs Cubes, Tower Up)

Welcome to Episode 93 of The Last Standee Podcast! This episode we reach theatrical heights as we start up in comedy, trying to make an intro right; let's say that quickly turns into tragedy without pretty much of a warning. I mean, I hope you had fun listening at least half as much we had recording. Whatevs! In the Standee catch-up we get some notable excerpts from games presented at Essen SPIEL 2024 (heavy-heavy games left off on purpose) and an insight in our broken lives, then it's building time! Cara builds up momentum with Catacombs Cubes, a perhaps-too-much easygoing game of building blocks in the Catacombs series, then Alessio capitalizes on that with a well-placed rooftop, uh, talk, about Tower Up, a small 2024 hidden gem which is way more complicated to describe than to play. So, be it building with blocks or blocking buildings, this episode is very construction-centric. Discover with us what happened to Alexis! See you next episode!
