The Games That Made Us - Star Fleet Battles

Welcome back to extra BATT content! This episode is a return to our series of The Games That Made Us. While Mark is finishing up the edit on the GenCon preview, we still wanted to make sure that we gave you content today the way we promised on BlueSky. So here is Scott talking about his love of Star Fleet Battles, a game by Stephen V. Cole from 1979 by Amarillo Design Bureau and Task Force Games. Scott got suprisingly whistful after listening to the edit of this, so while it may not have the heft of the HeroQuest episode, it's clearly still a game that he holds with deep affection. If nothing else, it's just fun to hear about another older game! And we'll give a sly little announcement here in the notes: Mark was recently gifted a number of old games from the 60s and 70s. We'll be doing a new segment soon called "Dusting Off:" where we go back to these decades old games to see how they may (or may not) have influenced the gaming hobby and if they're still worth going back to today. We hope you enjoy this episode and we'll catch you on the next one very shortly.
