Board Game Gateway

Are we nostalgic for older board games? This is the topic of discussion in Episode 60 of the Board Game Gateway Podcast. We invite another guest to this episode, Mr Leo from The Game Shelf.

We welcome special guest Joel to this very special episode of the podcast. We recap our 2nd event, B3GD Winter 2024 and also talk about our Gateway Game of the Week; Pass the Party Food.

There is now only 99 days until Christmas so as we start to run into the end of the year we have got a lot of games, themes and things to cover. We are super excited to get into it starting with this episode.

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!

Blood on the Clocktower is celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2024 and Sydney is getting its first Blood on the Clocktower Convention coming to the roundhouse on July 6th and 7th. Ralph and Neeber are privileged to get to interview one of the organisers of the event, Theo.

This week Damien, Neeber and Ralph are back behind the microphones to talk about some of the games they have been excited about.

Ralph has gotten the Digital turned analog Rogue-like card game Slay the Spire, Damien has decided to jump into the analog version of a digital-themed world in Android Netrunner and Neeber finally got his chance to play another wine-themed game in the classic Vinhos.

There is a lot to discuss including why Paku Paku is one of the silliest games we've played and why we love it so lets get into this episode.

Neeber and Damien sit down to have a chat about some of the games that he got on his recent trip overseas. Some of the games that he has been able to get a hold of are super hard to get here in Australia and they happen to have so many good things about them.

Neeber has also finally had a chance to play Arkham Horror the Living Card Game. He takes us through his play and his first impressions of the Lovecraftian mystery he was a part of.

He also got a chance to play the prologue of Earthborne Rangers and it is super impressive, we can't wait to share our impressions.
