It’s (almost) all hands on deck this episode as we get the gang together to launch Round 2 of the Board Game Bracket, bring a whole bunch or excellent games to the table, and discuss our recent oaths. We also try and break Dan by mentioning as many games as we can and making him add 60+ games to the shownotes.
In our massive Sizzling Games segment, Conor creates a cohesive and clever continent in Ecos, Mike takes off his mask and starts coughing everywhere in Plague Inc, Dan pulls a rabbit out of his hat in Trickerion, Def becomes a foreplanning expert Anachrony, Sarah dares to open the Jaws of the Lion, Mitch plays with Tiny Epic Dinosaurs, and Steve swings both ways with Pendulum.
We launch Round 2 of the Board Game Bracket with some really massive games in some massive match-ups with some mass debating as well. It’s Codenames vs Through The Ages, On Mars vs Great Western Trail, Azul vs Mage Knight, and Dixit vs Terraforming Mars. make sure you head to our socials and vote for your favourite to make sure they go through to Round 3.
Oaths were sworn, worn, and reborn. Despite having seven hosts, we still managed a clean sweep of oaths! Everyone came to tha party and fufilled their oaths in the name of the podcast. So now a new round of oaths are now underway; Everdell (Steve), Nemo’s War (Dan), Rome and Roll (Sarah), The Damsel’s Tale (Conor), Flamme Rouge (Mitch), Marvel United (Mike), D-Day Dice: 2nd Ed (Def).
