It seemed like a normal day until you listened to the voice message from your friend. It sounded urgent and like their life was in danger. They wanted to meet you at this club. You tried to call them back to find out more, but nobody answered. You started to worry and fear the worst, but you plucked up your courage. You just wished there still was Neon Hope by Francesco Grothe and Dominik Schönleben from Hopeful Games with illustrations from Robert Herzig and Consuelo Pecchenino.Read the full review here: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2025/02/15/neon-hope-saturday-review/Useful LinksNeon Hope: https://neonhopegame.com/Rulebook: https://neonhopegame.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/NEON-HOPE-Quickstart-Rules-A5-digital-V1.1.1.pdfKickstarter campaign: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hopefulgames/neon-hope-cyberpunk-meets-solarpunkHopeful Games: https://hopeful-games.com/BGG listing: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/421246/neon-hopeAdventure Games: The Dungeon review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2022/06/25/adventure-games-the-dungeon-saturday-review/Pandemic review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2020/01/18/pandemic-saturday-review/MusicIntro Music: Bomber (Sting) by Riot (https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/)Music: "Cityscape" by AShamaluevMusic.Website: https://www.ashamaluevmusic.comMusic: "District" by AShamaluevMusic.Website: https://www.ashamaluevmusic.comMusic: "Megacity" by AShamaluevMusic.Website: https://www.ashamaluevmusic.comIf you want to support this podcast financially, please check out the links below:Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/tabletopgamesblogKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/TabletopGamesBlogWebsite: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/
We were on a road trip. As our car was eating the miles, our journals and scrapbooks were filling up with photos, postcards and other souvenirs that would later remind us of the wonderful time we had. We were exploring towering peaks and massive canyons as we were making our way through this amazing desert, always being mindful of hazards. We loved every moment as we traversed Death Valley: Highs & Lows by Kevin Ellenburg from Button Shy with illustrations from Fachri Maulana.

Creature Caravan (Saturday Review)
The land of Arzium is facing a new threat. Ember Zombies have left their volcanic lands to the north and are walking through the previously peaceful lands that we call our home. You can easily recognise them with their charcoal bodies. Yet, there is hope. The city of Eastrey offers a safe haven for the creatures that are threatened by the malicious fire fairies. Everyone must make their way across deserts and plains, over mountains and through deep canyons and seek refuge, picking up other wandering creatures along the way, to join their Creature Caravan by Ryan Laukat from Red Raven Games with illustrations from Ryan Laukat.
