Episode 116: Fake Octopuses with Carl Robinson
Sporadically Board with Mike and Dan
Look, before anyone starts - I looked it up and the plural of octopus is octopuses - so don't come here with your knock-off latin and claim it's "octopi". Now that's out of the way, On this episode of Sporadically Board we are joined by Kelp-Boy himself, Carl Robinson (or Karl Robinson, as I like to call him). He's talking to us about his experiences with the scammers and ne'er-do-wells who have been selling fake copies of his extremely successful game, Kelp. We also talk about other stuff - some of which is board game related and some of which isn't. One thing we do talk about (but not...
info_outlineAfter the multimedia extravaganza that was Episode 100, we keep the fireworks going by inviting first time guest and first time designer Carl Robinson. Carl has designed Kelp, a two-player asymmetrical game that offers players a unique opportunity to delve into the natural world of Pyjama Sharks and Common Octopuses, set in a South African kelp forest. Those were absolutely my words alone, and not a cut and paste from Board Game Geek.
In addition to discussing the story behind that game, Dan, Carl and Mike have a wide ranging conversation that includes, but isn't limited to:
- Dan's impressions of this year's Essen Spiel which he absolutely did not attend.
- Mike and Carl's impressions of this year's Essen Spiel which they absolutely did attend.
- Kendal Mint Cake.
- Urinal Cakes, plus bonus toilet discussion.
- Extra bonus toilet serenades.
- Teaching children how to play Poirot.
- How people in the North of England count sheep.
All of this, plus Dan's Soundtrack game, A Few Acres of Rubbish, and a disgusting amount of board game discussion.
