In this episode Mitch, Adrian and Def are joined by US-based game designer Duane Wulf. Duane talks about his journey to becoming a designer, the inspiration for his new game, Union Stockyards, and of course it would be remiss of us not to ask him about his favourite cut of meat to BBQ!! Mean while in Sizzling Games, Def has been caught in a card-assisted counterinsurgency, Adrian has been forgoing fossil fuels for farms, and Mitch is prospering as prehistoric people.
We also recap last week’s Question of the Pod: Who have you met through boardgames? Thanks to everyone who contributed and shared their experiences with us on Discord and the Facebook Community.
Finally, in Swear An Oath, Adrian taught Pampero at PAX recently, Def played ISS: Vanguard, but Mitch failed his ambitious oath to teach Cuba Libre to the BBQ crew at PAX. New oaths include Fire In The Lake (Mitch), Fleet the Card Game (Mitch), Cerebria (Def), and Endless Winter: Cave Paintings (Adrian).
