One Stop Co-Op Shop

Peter Gousis, Michael Kelley, Steve Kingsley

One Stop Co-Op Shop is a podcast about cooperative boardgames. Game designers & publishers, Peter Gousis & Michael Kelley host the podcast.

Every other week we take one game and break it down to it's top 5 points (the good, the bad and our overall impressions). After we discuss the game we have a design discussion about one of the parts of the game.

We will also have occasional podcasts reviewing solo games, and other special episodes.

290 | Historical Tourism Games, Or Games That Lie To Our Faces | with Jason and Liz Davidson

Liz Davidson and Jason get together once again to discuss history in games in two parts. In this first part, we discuss Euro games and other mass market games that leverage history for attention, sales, and audience comfort. In seeking audience comfort, those games lie to our faces. We analyze examples of these games - Puerto Rico, AuZtralia, Hadrian's Wall, and more. We also chart some ways forward.
