This week Steve shares his recent experience of playing Smartphone Inc and he had a blast discovering new technology and engaging in patent-wars in the economic simulation Eurogame.
Jules dons his evil-Jules cloak and twirls his moustache as he reveals that he loves nothing more than crushing his opponents' Viking armies on Blood Rage.
Mitch details his nail-biting finishes in the one-vs-many hidden movement game Specter Ops.
A popular measure in the board gaming community is the complexity of a game, which is often described as 'heavy' or 'light'. But does 'heavy' mean difficult? In the Topic of the week, the team discuss the weight of games, their favourite heavy games, and how to overcome the perceived entry barrier.
In our Board Game Bracket segment, we wrap-up some previous match-ups: Spyfall vs It's A Wonderful World, Arkham Horror 3rd Ed vs Mysterium, and Arkham Horror LCG vs Inis. And then we unleash our latest battle - Fleet: The Dice Game vs Champions of Midgard. It's Steve vs Mitch in this battle of Viking clans defending a town against an onslaught of trolls, vs ... well, fishing. Yeah, so there's that. (Let's be honest, when even the recording equipment falls asleep during your pitch, you know you're in trouble, Mitch!)
Sizzling Games: Smartphone Inc (2:18), Blood Rage (14:33), Specter Ops (22:45)
Topic of the Week: What is a Heavy Game? (32:54)
