1P 379 - One Hit Heroes
This week Julius shares One Hit Heroes with us. It's a game about fighting super-villains that are supposedly way more powerful than the heroes. It's a co-operative game that can be played solo or multi-handed solo.
We got into some audio trouble just past the halfway mark around 23 minutes in. From then on, you'll hear lots of clicking and gaps in Julius's voice. I wasn't able to fix that; but, I was able to fix his pitch which went up a tiny bit. It sounded as if he'd been on helium for the last 15 minutes :D

1P 378 - SpaceCorp 2035-2300AD
This week I tell Julius all about the game SpaceCorp, by John Butterfield and published by GMT. This game is played in three phases in which you explore colonize, the inner Solar System, then the outer Solar System and finally the nearby galaxies. The game is based on the Galactican series by Ejner Fulsang.

1P 377 - Endeavor: Deep Sea
This week Julius tells us about a game as big as a school bus! Endeavor is a game about exploring the world's oceans solo, cooperatively or competitively. It's a big game that sounds like lots of fun and very thematic.

1P 376 - Time Fenix & tariffs
This week I talk with Mike & Olga Rimer of Caravel games. They have been making video game content for years and years in the excellent D.R.O.D. series (Deadly Rooms of Death). A few years ago, they released a solo puzzle game called Twisty Little Passages. Now they have Time Fenix coming to Kickstarter in a month or so. We talk about all their games and then have a bit of a chat about tariffs and how they are trying to deal with so much uncertainty.
