- S3E11: The Voyages of Marco Polo – A 10x10 Challenge Spotlight
Join us for the seventh stop on our S3 10x10 Challenge journey as we roll the dice and travel the lands in The Voyages of Marco Polo by Simone Luciani and Daniele Tascini. After 10 fiercely competitive plays, we've explored the board, tested each unique player power, and tested out a wide range of strategies.
In this episode, we discuss our first impressions on the table, thoughts after one round, and then overall experience after 10 rounds. Was the journey worth repeating, or is this one destined for the trade pile? Tune in to find out whether Marco Polo earns its passport in our collection!

40 min - S3E10: Discovering Bora Bora by Stefan Feld – A 10x10 Challenge Spotlight
Join us for this week's 10x10 Challenge Spotlight as we explore Bora Bora by Stefan Feld!
After 10 intense and competitive plays, we’ve tested strategies, clashed over sacred spaces, and fought for dominance with our huts—and now we’re ready to talk about it. In this episode, we reflect on our journey with Bora Bora: from first impressions to how our gameplay evolved, and how it compares to other Feld designs we've grown to love.
Will this be a keep-it-to-play or trade-it-away? Listen to find out!
