Go straight for the hardcore Euros! Ensure you mercilessly crush them! Freak them out with your board game weirdness! And give them a swift kick in the balls! This week, we discuss things you should not do to new board gamers. Also, Ben carries on moaning about Kickstarter or BGG or some shit while Dave impresses everyone with his hamster.

We're back! And this time, we're in list form. This week, we talk about our top 3 favourite components in board games; from things you can fondle to assortments you can ogle!

An Ode to Dice! Big ones, small ones, ones with lots of sides - we love them all! But which ones do the chaps love the most? And reckless rating. Who does that?

From smashing 2 tubs of Cookie Vermon-ster on the trot to Dave's rock-hard abs - this week, we discuss the idea of perfection! Or at least, Dave and Gerry do. Ben ends up completely losing the plot and starts talking about collecting sticks for lawn games or some shit.

Sand, sea, sun and lots of boardgame fun! To kick off Season 5, we catch up with what we got up to over the summer break. Spoiler alert! There was very little sand, sea and sun.

This week, the BotS crew have a gander at the best boards in gaming. What do we look for in a board? Stiffness or flexibility? Length or the way it feels? What did the lads decide on this week?

This week, the chaps will be elbow deep in cuteness. Kids games, adult games and just plain odd games - we can find the cuteness in all of them!

This week's show is blessed by the presence of board game connoisseur and all round brilliant human - Rob! The group discuss the games that turn them green with envy when they see others playing them for the first time as well as what really matters when we visit board game conventions.

Is it because they're out of print? Maybe it's because they're too damn expensive? Or perhaps it's just because we don't have any friends? This week, we discuss the games we would love to play but for some reason or other, we haven't. Gerry also tests the other guys' knowledge of rules and Ben starts gobbing off about Kick-starter. Again!

Space trains, space cowboys and space politics!? This episode, we let our imaginations run wild as we delve into themes we would like to see more of!
