On this week’s episode of the Board Game BBQ Steve, Adrian and Dan sink their teeth into Card Games. But these are not your parents’ card games. You won’t find Canasta or 500 here. How about writing a Love Letter to the Princess? Fancy yourself some Exploding Kittens? And who doesn’t love a Sushi Go Party? We also pay lip service to Hanabi and The Mind for more card gaming goodness.
The Virtual Gaming Con is this week (June 24th-29th) and the Board Game BBQ is hosting live games across the Con. The team will be online for most of the con during Australian hours so you will be able to find a game or three to jump in on without having to wait until the US or Europe comes online. Search for “Board Game BBQ” and you’ll find us all in the game schedule.
Our Sizzling Games this week are Fugitive, Pandemic Legacy: Season 1, and Orleans: and you couldn’t get three more different games in a single segment if you tried. Our followers on FaceBook and Instagram have decided another winner in the Board Game Bracket, and this week’s match-up is another great battle: Five Tribes vs Mansion of Madness. Adrian and Dan plead their cases for the better game before we throw it over to our listeners to choose.
Swear An Oath this week takes a turn as not one, but two of our hosts fail to fulfill their Oaths. Dan and Steve both failed to complete Terraforming Mars, Kemet, and Photosynthesis, but Adrian gracefully lets them off the hook. Adrian tells of his late-night addiction to Decrypto and then goes about setting Exploding Kittens as his next Oath. Dan adds Stuffed Fables to his list, while Steve doubles down on his oath by adding Cartographers and Paperback.
