Molly House! There's a good chance you've heard of this recent release about queer joy in 18th-century London. Today we're joined by Jo Kelly to discuss the origins, development, and challenges of creating such a game, including the perils of "emotional hit points," the difficulties of representing queer joy, and why it's so important that betrayal was included as an in-game option.

The Illuminati! Aside from being a cabal of lizard-people who rule the world through the United Nations, they are now also the topic of a board game, Pax Illuminaten. On today's Space-Cast!, we're joined by designer Oliver Kiley to discuss three very different histories of this secret society.

In 1956, not-yet-famous author Kurt Vonnegut unsuccessfully attempted to publish a board game. That game, GHQ, was then stored in a box for decades until designer Geoff Engelstein read about it in a biography and began the long process of restoring this historical artifact. On today's Space-Cast!, we sit down with Geoff to discuss how GHQ traveled across time, its surprising innovations, and what it might say about Vonnegut's efforts to contextualize his wartime experiences.
