Even though I sometimes disagree with Nick’s likes and dislikes I always enjoy the podcast. The format is great and very informative once I calibrate for our differences of taste. And having it both as a pod and text is very handy!
I hope Rumble Nation comes back into print someday, would love to try.
Deckbuilders are one of my favorite genres and Dominion and Clank are both in my collection, including addons and so forth. I also tried El Dorado but have to say it felt like a poor version of Clank. I did not find it very thrilling or the cards fun.
I also had the pleasure of playing El Grande and for that it is a Eurogame, its pretty much confrontation pure. It worked really well though and I think its a very special game. If you can get your hands on it, I really recommend it for 4 to 5 players!
