We also find the chance to discuss our latest feelings on the Avatar Legends RPG, gacha mobile game World Flippers and Mass Effect, before falling into an anime hole with Jujutsu Kaisen and Giovanni’s Island.

Matt, Lolies and Meehan talk about what they’ve been up to this week! Which, er, doesn’t include that many board games, so we talk about Shang-Chi, Jungle Cruise and a bunch of other fun stuff instead. Matt has played the simply charming Happy City, and there’s also time to chat about why board games are going to cost more, whether SolForge Fusion will inherit Keyforge’s algorithmically-generated crown and why capitalism continues to be The Worst. Then, we begin our life’s work in giving miniatures paints better names - Tim’s Magical Green and Well Hydrated Yellow among them. You’re welcome. Finally, there’s enough time to answer your questions about board game mascots, the state of the tabletop industry and the best time of the year to buy tabletop RPGs.

Lolies and Meehan are back in the pod booth as they join Matt to talk about what we’ve been playing, answer your questions about discovering our favourite board games and offer our suggestions for the cast of the Blades in the Dark TV show! Yes, Danny DeVito is involved. Lolies gives her thoughts on finishing Machi Koro Legacy, Meehan sees whether the new Telestrations game is anything to draw home about (see what we did there) and Matt… well, he’s here too. There’s also time to look at the latest booming numbers for tabletop games on Kickstarter and pine for the board games we’d love to play, but can’t right now.

Matt, Wheels and Chase get together to talk interesting indie RPGs, take a trip through Wikipedia in Archives of Alexandria and crawl into the chess-like strategy of Hive, along with discussing everything else we’ve been playing lately. We also consider Magic: The Gathering’s slew of upcoming sets, and the potential return of Netrunner, the gaming classics we still go back to and where we keep our board game collections. In this week’s segment, it’s time to invent the greatest board game sequels that don’t exist - along with a brief detour into cheesy movie taglines for tabletop blockbusters.

It’s Friday the 13th! To mark the occasion, Matt, Liv and Meehan throw our favourite survivors from horror board games into a classic slasher movie. Would Camp Grizzly’s Tracy outlive Lily Chen from Arkham Horror? Is a dog, lion or bear better to have as a faithful companion? Why is the patient from Operation here?! All these questions will be answered - eventually! We also get the latest on what the team have been playing, look ahead to some exciting new releases and consider the most important debate in board games: do you stack boxes upright or sideways?

Lolies, Meehan and Matt crack open a thesaurus in this week’s podcast game, as we try to guess board game names after they’ve been bandied for analogous confabulations. (Swapped for other words, obviously.) Matt and Meehan give their thoughts on the Avatar Legends RPG currently blowing up Kickstarter, while Lolies also runs through her long list of recently played games - including escaping from Unlock! Star Wars and flirting with Thanos in Love Letter: Infinity Gauntlet. Then we discuss the first winner of the new Diana Jones Award, our favourite garden games and legacy spin-offs, and consider Games Workshop’s zero-tolerance approach to fan-made Warhammer content.

In a particularly Nice episode of the Dicebreaker Podcast, Matt, Wheels and Meehan reimagine some of our favourite board games as romantic novels. Matt can finally chat about his time with the upcoming Descent: Legends of the Dark, Meehan’s been hanging out with the Cats & Dogs of Fort’s first expansion, Wheels has been preparing to explore What Waits Beneath, and everybody’s been getting ready to play the new Avatar Legends RPG. We dive into the recent shipping costs and delays affecting board games, D&D and Magic: The Gathering, and consider which board game we’d like to see turned into a film. All this, and the world’s first (only?) critical appraisal of the Bob the Builder music album.

Matt, Wheels and Meehan reminisce about bland British food and ‘90s TV adverts before eventually moving onto some board game chat. Meehan continues her Swoobat adventures in the Pokémon card game, Wheels emerges from the end of his latest Arkham Horror LCG campaign and Matt... can’t talk about anything he’s been playing. Then, to celebrate the announcement of this year’s Spiel des Jahres winner, we debate our own Über Spiel des Jahres of the last 10 years. Will it be something that isn’t Colt Express?!
