Next the crew break down three of the categories from the upcoming Board Game BBQ Awards: Best Artwork, Best Expansion, and Game of the Year. You can find the link to the nomination form on all of our socials including Discord, Twitter, Instagram and on our Discord Community. Nominations are open to anyone in the community for three weeks. Facebook, Discord, Instagram, Twitter. Nominate in all 9 categories, or just a few. Once nominations close on Sunday 27th then we take the most-nominated game in each category and they become the official nominees for the BBQ Awards. Then we hand it over to our esteemed panel of judges; our Patreons; to vote. And this will all culminate in the BGBBQ Awards Night which once again will be filmed for YouTube, and we hope to have some surprises on the show as well.
In the Board Game Bracket we settle the last match-up, Crokinole vs A Feast For Odin, before we cue up the next battle: Aeon's End vs Root. To make sure your favourite goes through to the next round make sure you vote on our socials.
Finally, in Swear An Oath, Adrian smashed it out of the park on Hadrian's Wall during the week, but still hasn't played Lord of the Rings: Journeys In Middle Earth. Mitch really enjoyed the small-box game Harsh Shadows, and Conor got Zapotec to the table as well. New oaths include painting more Kingdom Death Monster minis (Adrian), Marvel United: X-Men (Mitch), and Dead Reckoning (Conor).
