In this episode we welcome Katia Howatson from Board Game Art Creations to the show. In our Kickstarter segment, Katia tells us how she came to create her amazing boardgame-inspired artwork that is currently on Kickstarter, how she got some of the industry's biggest publishers on board, and the challenge of using boardgame components to make the incredible mosaics. Her project was funded in only 48hrs, so it's all systems go! The campaign ends on July 15th so make sure you follow the link to secure one of these amazing calendars for yourself.

A high quality calendar comprising 13 works of art inspired by publishers such as Stonemaier, Roxley, Board & Dice and many more!

In our Sizzling Games segment, Sarah hits the ground running with her review of Aeon's End Legacy and Katia tells us about the map-making goblin-madness of Cartographers. Mitch finds that Too Many Bones is still never enough, and Steve shares his adventures in the table-sprawling Heroes of Air, Land and Sea.


Our Topic of the Week is Solo Games! Are you a solo gamer? Has the isolation of COVID19 restrictions turned you into a solo gamer? We explore the merits, and of course the fun, of solo gaming in the modern era. The team offer up some of their favourite solo games, as well as some great entry-level games if you are solo-curious.


In the Board Game Bracket we reveal the winners of the recent showdown: Lords of Waterdeep vs War of Whispers. Then Sarah and Mitch breakdown the next big battle: Mage Knight vs A Feast For Odin. Or, as they describe it; "getting a headache" vs "collecting junk". Make sure you hit up our socials to make sure your favourite gets through to the next round.


Finally in Swear an Oath, Steve clears the decks by fulfilling his oaths to play both Tiny Towns and K2. He then vows to bring the Plaid Hat game Forgotten Waters to the table this weekend. Sarah swears to blow the dust off Starfighter and finally get it to the table, while Mitch played Dreamscape to honour his oath before pledging to visit feudal Japan in Crossroads of Heroes. And Katia joins in the oath swearing by promising to play Sorcerer by White Wizard Games.


If you are making your own oaths to play games from your "Shelf of Shame", make sure you share your success with the hashtag #oathfulfilled on Instagram!
