Lincoln flew back from Tokyo on Wednesday, May 9 following his visit to Game Market, and we shot this episode later that same day, after which he edited everything together, while adding in a short video overview of Game Market, a tour of the Yellow Submarine game store in the Shinjuku area of Tokyo, and our interview with designer Eric M. Lang, who was making his first trip to Game Market on behalf of CMON Limited to check out what was new at the show. How Lincoln didn't just collapse due to jet lag I can't say. (I made the same trip with Lincoln, but I returned home on Monday, so I spent just four nights in Tokyo, which was a short enough time that I never adjusted to that time zone.)
In any case, we talk about our impressions of Game Market, speculate on what will be nominated for the Spiel des Jahres award (with nominations coming on May 14, 2018), talk about plans for the 2018 Origins Game Fair, and rap about what we've been playing. Show notes are included below.
