First Player Token

39. Blazon (First Play)

Derek Bruff Episode 39

 Usually when I review and recommend a board game here on the podcast, I’ve played that game at least ten times. That way I know the game well and I know it has some staying power. That means I usually review older games, but I like to play new games, too!

That leads me to this bonus episode you’re listening to right now. Instead of a scripted and highly edited review of a family favorite game, I present to you my loosely organized thoughts about a FIRST PLAY of a new board game.

Today, we’ll take a look at Blazon from 25th Century Games. It’s a 2023 game designed by Dave Conklin with art by Ian O’Toole.
