It’s our Christmas episode! Matt and Karen settle in for a festive catch-up, chatting about the board games they’ve been playing over the last few weeks — from games enjoyed at AireCon West to sessions around the table with friends.

They dive into a wide mix of titles, covering everything from deck-building and roll-and-writes to tile-laying city builders, cozy card games, and deeper strategy experiences. Along the way, they share first impressions, highlights, and how these games felt at different player counts and settings.

The episode also includes a quick roundup of recent Kickstarter deliveries, as Matt and Karen talk about which long-awaited games have finally arrived and their early thoughts on getting them to the table.

A relaxed, festive episode full of tabletop chat, Christmas vibes, and plenty of gaming inspiration to see you through the holidays. 🎁🎲
