Liz Davidson is the Solo Games Specialist at Leder Games but her background goes even deeper than solo design. Matt chats with her about historical games, her academic past, and how it all factors into her job designing and developing solo modes (and maybe someday solo-only games?!) for Leder Games.

We're back on the high seas this week with Matt and Nick Brachmann! The Smuggler is the asymmetrical vagabondish seat of the Ahoy table who plays their own game, but don't be intimidated because Matt and Nick have your back. With this episode we're rounding out our coverage of the base game of Ahoy so that we can continue forward into the expansions, I hope you're excited for it.

We're taking a look back today are the greatest Root tournament series that was ever held: GuerricSample's Winter Tournament. For three years, Guerric streamed hundreds of hours of Root tournament games and gave the community some of the highest skill games around. He's taken a step back from tournament organizing but is still around the community as moderator of the Woodland Warriors discord and even Editor on the Homeland expansion. So let's go down memory lane and talk about the growth of Root's competitive scene.
