Board Game Gateway

SYDNEYS FAMILY DAY DAY TICKETS AVAILABLE NOW

Why do we buy board games? Is it the Spectacular Art of the Cards, Board and Components? Is it the interplay of Players, Mechanics and Theme? Whatever the reason our hosts are going to chat about why they keep games or buy them in the first place.

Neeber, Ralph, Damien and Jol return for another podcast where we chat about the new 2 player sensation Lord of the Rings; Duel for Middle Earth, the relaxing yet satisfying Takaido Duo and the surprisingly satisfactory cooperative Hanabi.

A return to form is coming your way and we can't wait to share it with you.

Rewarding experiences are everywhere in board gaming but what game/games provide the best? That is the topic of discussion in this week's episode of the Board Game Gateway podcast.

Why do we still play board games? After discovering the hobby and being settled into it our hosts look bad and see that we have been playing board games for over 10 years with no end in sight. Why? This is the topic of our discussion today.

Before we get to the discussion though we talk about some very exciting games that we have played. beautiful and tight Kelp: Octopus vs Shark, the harsh and tactical John Company 2nd Edition and the silly but amazing Dropolter.

We welcome Joel back to the podcast for a second time and we are proud to present this week's podcast.

It has been a while and some major things have gone down and we need to have a talk about it. Ralph shaved his beard!
