Episode 49 - Special Guest: Stephen Buonocore, Pandemic Legacy Season 1, The Quacks of Quedlinburg, Imperial Settlers: Rise of the Empire, Architects of the West Kingdom
In what could possibly be Conor's last episode when Sarah hears it, the team is joined by the recently-retired president of Stronghold Games Stephen Buonocore. It's undeniably one of our best episodes as he shares with us what he's been up to in retirement, the process of publishing games, what he's been playing lately, and his involvement in the Jack Vasel Memorial Fund.
In our Sizzling Games segment, Mike is the next team member to wade into Pandemic Legacy Season 1 and is loving the journey so far. Stephen has been stirring the pot in The Quacks of Quedlinburg, Conor has been building his empire in Imperial Settlers: Rise of the Empire, and Steve is continually impressed by Architects of the West Kingdom.
In the Board Game Bracket we announce the winner from the recent Gaia Project vs Too Many Bones battle. And then, in a Board Game Bracket first, Conor defends Root against the publisher of Terraforming Mars. The gloves come off on this battle, as they both go for a TKO.
Finally in Swear an Oath, Steve got Isle of Cats to the table with his sons, and swears to play Barrage. After playing Rise of Empires, Conor swears to play Paladins of the West Kingdom. Mike failed to fulfill his Big Easy Busking oath, so he dutifully doubles-down with Imaginarium, and stuns everyone with a hidden talent. But, to show us all up, Stephen swears an oath to play the mammoth game - Twilight Imperium 4th Edition.
Thanks again to Stephen Buonocore for joining us on this episode. Follow along with Stephen's adventures on his social channels:

And the fun doesn't stop there! Starla and Mik stick around and share their Sizzling Game with us: Parks. It's a beautiful game from Henry Audubon and Keymaster Games. Meanwhile Dan has building towers and casting spells in The Towers of Arkhanos, Mike has been herding cats on Isle of Cats, and Sarah has her head in the clouds with Forbidden Sky.

Sarah, Def and Adrian are joined by Perth-based illustrator and graphic designer Ian O'Toole. Ian shares with us some of his experiences with Eagle-Gryphon Games, collaborating with Vital Lacerda, and offers some advice for those interested in illustrating board games.
In our Sizzling Games segment, Ian has been solving murders (or framing someone else!) in First Class: All Aboard The Orient Express, Def has fallen in love with Pipeline, Adrian has been dreaming of Steam Punk ever since he got to playtest Weather Machine, and Sarah has been card drafting and building castles in Between Two Castles of Mada King Ludwig
In the Board Game Bracket, we resolve Brass: Birmingham vs Mansions of Madness. And once Adrian stops talking about Mansions of Madness we can finally tee up our next battle: Cosmic Encounter vs Everdell.
Finally, in Swear An Oath, Def completed two oaths (Architects of the West Kingdom & D-Day The Dice Game) and swears an oath to play Clinic: Deluxe Edition, a game Ian worked on in 2019. And Ian gets in on the action by swearing to play Endangered and get it off his shelf of shame.

Episode 43 - Spot it!, Teotihuacan, Pandemic Legacy Season 2
They say never work with kids or animals. Well, we put that to the test on this episode as we hand the show over to our kids to tell us about their favourite games.
In Sizzling Games, Dan has been trying to work out the maths behind Spot It!, Steve has been building a tribute to the Gods in Teotihuacan, and Adrian can't tell us anything about Pandemic Legacy Season 2.
Our Topic of the Week is kids games for 5-9yr olds. First, we enlist Finn, Jack and Rafael to talk about their favourite games, but manage to wrestle control of the show before things get out of hand. Then we settle in to discuss some of the best kids games out there on the market, what to look for in a kid's game, and how to find the right game for your kids.
In Round 2 of the Boardgame Bracket we settle the winner from the 5 Minute Dungeon vs Spirit Island match-up before Mitch pops in to defend Too Many Bones against Adrian's It's A Wonderful World.
Finally, in Swear An Oath Dan and Adrian let down the side (again) by leaving Blackout: Hong Kong and Nemo's War unfulfilled. They did, however, complete Quacks of Quedlinburg and Welcome To, and Steve fulfilled Architects of the West Kingdom and 7 Wonders Duel. And new oaths are committed with Pendulum (Adrian), Towers of Arkhanos (Dan), and Trismagistus (Adrian)

Episode 37 - Special Guest: Vital Lacerda, plus Bonfire, The Cost, Barrage, Detective Season One, Root, Ride The Rails
In this episode we welcome the man, the myth, the legend - Vital Lacerda. Vital, of course, is the award-winning designer of heavy games such as Vihnos, The Gallerist, Escape Plan, and this year's hit release On Mars. He kindly gives us an insight into his game design, news on his next game Weather Machine, how he came to create a game with his daughter, and why he generally creates heavier games than other designers. And he even hangs around for our Sizzling Games segment!
Vital impresses everyone with his two Sizzling Games: Bonfire (an ethereal games about guardians of light trying to brighten a dark planet), and The Cost (an economy management game involving health and safety and of all things... asbestos). Adrian was blown away recently by Barrage, Sarah has been sleuthing in Detective: Season One, Def is finding the AI in Root to be Root-hless (see what I did there?), and Steve was driving his passengers mad in Ride The Rails.
In Boardgame Bracket news, we settle the Zombicide vs Scythe battle in our most-voted-for match-up to date. Then it's Def vs Adrian in our next battle: Gaia Project vs Arkham Horror 3rd Edition. Make sure your favourite goes through to the next round by visiting our socials and casting your important vote.
Lastly in everyone's favourite segment, Swear An Oath, Sarah stands tall amongst the rest of the team who all failed their oaths. Sarah cleared Rome&Roll off her shelf of shame and swears a new oath to play Medici: The Dice Game. Meanwhile the team double-down on their oaths by swearing to play Mottainai (Adrian) and Architects of the West Kingdom (Def).

In this episode, Steve is finally let off the chain. Frankly, you'll be forgiven for skipping this episode as Steve talks about Scythe until Mike and Mitch fall into a coma.
In our massive Sizzling Games segment, Mitch has been rolling and writing through the Trails of Tucana, Mike has been channeling his inner superhero in Marvel United, and Steve has been working up a sweat playing Klask.
If you've ever been overwhelmed by learning new games or reading complicated rule books, then the team discusses the best ways to learn new games without getting freaked out in our Topic Of The Week.
The results are in! We have the first winners for Round 2 as we reveal the results of Through the Ages vs Codenames, and Great Western Trail vs On Mars. And then in what is possibly the most exciting match-up in Round 2 for our podcast team, Mike and Steve go head-to-head in Zombicide vs Scythe. Make sure you head to our socials and vote for your favourite to make sure they go through to Round 3.
In everyone's favourite segment, Swear An Oath, Steve snuck in Harry Potter: Hogwarts Battle - Defence Against The Dark Arts right before the podcast. And in keeping with his own "30 games in 30 days" mission, he swears an oath to play Tekhenu: Obelisk of the Sun. Mitch was underwhelmed by Flamme Rouge and swears to make amends with the trick-taking game Nyet!. And after playing his unpainted Marvel United, Mike swears to punch out his copy of Galaxy Trucker and get it to the table.
Finally, in Kickstarter news, Mitch and Steve are both tempted by Cascadia from Flatout Games. Meanwhile, Mike has gone absolutely bananas backing Embarcadero,
Northgard: Uncharted Lands, Token Sesame, Shitty Werewolf, The Reckoners: Steelslayer, and Monsters On Board.

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).
Sizzling Games: Ecos: First Continent (02:45), Plague Inc. (10:23), Trickerion (19:05), Anachrony (32:22), Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion (44:00), Tiny Epic Dinosaurs (59:36), Pendulum (01:07:07)

All the crew (even Conor) are here tonight to battle it out again for supremacy.
Whose team are you on? Lock, or Spock?
Our fearless Trivia host Adrian does an excellent job of making us all look confused and perplexed.
We also announce the second round of the bracket, which will be starting soon.
