New Game releases: games that can now be found in the wild, new game acquisitions, and games we are eager to try. Game announcements: This is a list of games that are fulfilling maybe and have not yet reached the store shelves, unless it is a CMON game then it is on the game shelf and backers are waiting disgruntled. New game announcements also include games that are in late production and will be released at a future time. Crowdfunding is games that have piqued our interest and maybe have even been backed by us. So with that, let's turn to the table and see what games we are talking about today. Zombicide Second Edition: Monty Python's Flying Circus: A Rather Silly Expansion Monty Python & The Holy Grail: The Game Army of Darkness: The Board Game Lost Ruins of Arnak: Adventure Chest (Twisted Paths) Above and Below: Haunted Ascending Empires: Zenith Edition The South Tigris Moonsaga Inventors of the South Tigris: Era of Experts Scholars of the South Tigris: Body of Books Wayfarers of the South Tigris: Tides of Trade Unmatched: Battle of Legends Volume 3 Brick Like This Square One Chicken!

Episode 589: Player Elimination Games Episode release date is July 30, 2025   Show Notes   This week we are discussing Player Elimination Games. This is not a mechanic we all love, but we have a surprising amount of player elimination games. Intro of Meeple Nation The World's Most Okayest Podcast Web Page Links to Episodes SaltPOD: A SaltCON Podcast Bios Email us at [email protected] Patreon Instagram @meeplenation Facebook Meeple Nation Facebook Group Meeple Nation Off Air X Meeple Nation Discord Meeple Nation Become a Chanameeple   Sponsorship Game Toppers  SaltCON   Meeple Nation Gaming Highlights (Highlight-Thirty) Andy Zombicide: White Death Zombicide: White Death - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Nathan Mythicals The Player Elimination mechanic is one where one or more players are removed from the game before it officially ends. This can happen with two players or 16. When a player is eliminated, they typically can no longer take actions, score points, or influence the outcome, and must simply observe the rest of the game unfold. This mechanic can create tension and urgency, as players try to avoid being eliminated and race to stay in the game. However, it can also lead to long periods of downtime for eliminated players. So lets turn to the game table and see who gets eliminated.   Player Elimination Games Gloomhaven Jaws of the Lion Clank!: A Deck-Building Adventure Game Clank! In!
