Welcome to the ninth episode of Under the Lid, a biweekly HippoCampus Games podcast!

In today's episode, Adam and Gimo will be discussing games from the BoardGameGeek top 100 all time! This episode we'll be looking at our favorites and games we want to play from 41-50. We're over halfway there!

For today's main topic, we will be discussing the designer Alexander Pfister through four hand-picked games: Oh My Goods! By Alexander Pfister (Lookout Games, 2015), Broom Service By Alexander Pfister and Andreas Pelikan (Ravensburger, 2015), Isle of Skye: From Chieftain to King by Alexander Pfister and Andreas Pelikan (Mayfair Games, 2015), and Mombasa by Alexander Pfister (Pegasus Spiele, 2015)

Stay tuned to the end for our final thoughts and overall comparisons of these four games and how they contribute to the style of designer Alexander Pfister!
