We wrapped up last Fri's Laukat Redux Nite with arguably his most accessible big box title ISLEBOUND. We included the Metropolis XP which is just a pack of enhanced building cards. This is probably the easiest Laukat Big Box to learn, plays fast, offers a few path to winning (building, fame, or just plain pirating/diplo). This is not part of the Above & Below line but has artwork that are similar and characters that can be used for playing Above & Below. His gateway game perhaps? #boardgamecafe #otkmeetups #laukatnite #boardgamenight #tabletopgames #boardgames #ryanlaukat #redravengames #islebound

We erm miss Laukat so much we decided to bring Laukat Nite for a redux last Fri. His recent 2nd Ed of EMPIRES OF THE VOID was one of the first to hit the table. Quasi-4x, closer to Scythe-ish than TI4-ish, but less solo-ish than Scythe due to its central Action & Follow mechanic. Plays shorter than we expected, and much different from the usual Laukat flavor. Unlike most Laukats this one plays up to five (without suffering downtime). The power cards and the alien alliance / recruitment are the key to doing well in this game. Interestingly comparing this with his 1st Ed, they are *very different game* Hmm perhaps a 4x nite coming soon? #boardgamecafe #otkmeetups #boardgamenight #tabletopgames #boardgames #ryanlaukat #redravengames #empiresofthevoid2

So here we are... Our lib of Ryan Laukat's games (most are in stock and available from our webstore). Had an interesting discussion with an OTKers about how his artwork changed from his 1st Ed Empires of the Void (1st game on right, our playset no longer avail for sale) to his present style. Truly a unique collection. So which one is your fave Laukat? #boardgamecafe #otkmeetups #laukatnite #boardgamenight #tabletopgames #boardgames #ryanlaukat #redravengames @redravengames #webstore

After going for quests near and far, we visited one of Laukat's early games THE ANCIENT WORLD. This one eschew all forms of story telling and just set four fellas to compete fiercely to build their cities or rather armies to go whack Titans. The worker placement mechanic (using workers with increasing rank) can be semi cooperative or brutally competitive depending on how your group flows. Game is over in 6 turns so it plays quickly. But you can be amazed how many times you can be a "jerk" to your fellow gamers during these 6 turns haha. Unlike Near and Far where NOT going on quests will hurt you, here it seems there may be a viable path taking the carebear path of not whacking titans. CITY OF IRON next? Haha. #boardgamecafe #otkmeetups #boardgamenight #laukatnite #ryanlaukat #redravengames #boardgames#tabletopgames #theancientworld @redravengames #titans

Last Fri was Laukat Nite at OTK and we started off two tables with his latest NEAR AND FAR. Less story telling than Above and Below, more of an Euro engine building game, and still featuring his distinctive artwork. Its not often we get a game developer who's also a great illustrator. The story telling aspect is still a key element of this game - ignore those Quests at your peril! - but having the option of whacking threats to act as game timer brings a more practical game time compared to AnB. Those who have played this and AnB, do tell us what you like (and not like) about each? This game does ask that you declare if you are a cat or dog person hehe. Now to plan for a full day to do Campaign mode? #boardgamecafe #otkmeetups #boardgamenight #ryanlaukat #laukatnite #tabletopgames #boardgames @redravengames #redravengames #nearandfar #aboveandbelow
