On this episode Steve, Sarah and Jules welcome our new sponsor: Advent Games! Make sure you check out our FB Community page for your chance to win one of our Sizzling Games from this week! (more details below)
In our Sizzling Games, Sarah has been cooking up a storm in Kitchen Rush, Jules is serving the drinks in Taverns of Tiefenthal, and Steve is out there eating villagers in Werewolf.
In our Topic of the Week we take stock of the games that 2020 has brought us so far. 0ur team share their favourite games and also the games that they are looking forward to most. What’s you favourite game so far? What game are you most looking forward to? Share your thought on our socials; Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Discord.
In our Board Game Bracket we announce the winner from the 7 Wonders v Zombicide battle, and it was a landslide win – but to which game?? We also line up our next battle: Seasons vs 7th Continent. Make sure you vote for your favourite game to make sure it goes through the next round.
Finally, in Swear An Oath Steve rolls out the same excuses as always and didn’t fulfil his oath from the last episode. Unsurprisingly Jules completely let him off the hook because he didn’t fulfil one of his oaths either. Luckily we have Sarah to uphold the integrity of the podcast. So while Steve didn’t play Vinhos and Jules didn’t play Portal, they both double-down on their oaths and swear to play The Crew and Brass: Birmingham. Meanwhile Sarah, fresh from her back-to-back games of Betryal at Calth swears an oath to pronounce, I mean play, Teotihuacan: City of Gods.
