TPK 26 - It Comes with Salt Packets (Patreon)
0On this episode of Total Pebble Knockdown:
* In case you were not aware, basically every licensed property in existence has decided to dive into the tabletop market. On this Weekly Muse, Nathan slightly breaks Alex with news of a Power Rangers RPG, Disney theme park board games, a 5E compatible version of Runescape and a shocking list of super successful Kickstarters with recognizable brands. And since we're looking at all of those, let's also discuss possible games from intellectual properties we like.

* How can you use games as a learning experience? That's a question that came up after Nathan found some articles detailing two games from the Phillipines tackling real world issues of disaster management and martial law. But there are many basic skills that gaming can help us learn without even realizing it. On this Delving Deeper we discuss how games can help develop social skills, cooperation and understanding. Also, we ask if gamification could aid with learning jobs and if HR would have enjoyed orientation more by utilizing it.

* So many board games have been published over the years, we were bound to have some bad ones. On this One More Thing, we are looking at games that actually got made, but probably should not have. From national disasters, repurposed party games, weird things to market to kids and general head-scratching, we take a look at some of the best worst ideas of board gaming history.
