Episode 13: Clank!, Wingspan, Unfair

1 hour 33 minutes

Tonight Steve, Mike and Adrian catch up at the BBQ and bring some Sizzling Games along with them. Mike had a blast playing the deck-builder Clank! and is already hankering for the expansions. Steve finally brings the feathered fun of Wingspan to the podcast, and life's a rollercoaster for Adrian with Unfair.

In this week's Topic of the Week the team shares the favourite games of their partners and the stories behind them. The guys quizzed their partners about their favourite games and which games they enjoyed playing with each other, and there were some surprising answers for the team. What games do you enjoy playing with your partner? Drop us an email or jump on the discord to let us know.

The Board Game Bracket served up a big surprise this week (even Mike was surprised), and we still have a few days left for Brass: Birmingham vs Incan Gold. Meanwhile, in Maximum Apocalypse vs Dice Throne, Adrian and Steve go head to head. Adrian explains why the cooperative roguelike adventure of Maximum Apocalypse should de-throne Steve, and Steve returns serve with the accessibility and balance of Battle Yahtzee... errr..sorry, I mean Dice Throne.

Lastly, in the spirit of our Topic of The Week, all three guys being forced to honour new oaths chosen by their significant others. After carefully making his way Through The Ages, Mike's partner wants him to be the King Of Toyko next. Fresh from Exploding Kittens, Adrian agress to take the plunge into Deep Madness. And after rolling out every excuse in the book, Steve settles for the cooperative clues of Codenames Duet.
