Jan 21, 2021

Special Episode: #SydneySizzle – All you need to know about Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition! Plus, Sarah, Def and Steve Count down our Top 10 Boardgames of 2019!

HERE WE GO! Today is the day we hear the infamous #SydneySizzle Sydney Engelstein and Nick Little tell us everything they can about Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition! Find out how it will play, what has changed and what has stayed the same. One thing we can tell you, is Steve is still on the floor in shock!

The Sizzle happens at (44:28), right in the middle of our Top 10 of 2019!

Why 2019? Well in Australia, often we receive games a little later than the rest of the world, so often we play games for the first time in the year following its release. But even if that isn’t the case, it means we have had a chance to play these games a few more times, so we have more to say and understand about the game.
