First Turn Tabletop episodes:
May 21, 2024Ep 250: Tomorrow in Australia This is the end. But don't worry, the words of Charles Schulz : "It is already tomorrow in Australia."
This is the final episode of the podcast. Kait, bP, Eric and Kiwi gather for a "Series in Review" episode in the style of our "Year in Review" but we also talk about our favorite parts of the last 249 episodes.
We appreciate everyone that has tuned in and listened for the last 5 years. We started this so that we could play games together and we're going to keep doing that, just not recording it.
And with that, feel free to like and/or review. You can still leave comments on Twitter/Instagram @FirstTurnCast and we still have our email which will be the best way to reach us. No need to subscribe anymore, but I'm not your boss, so do what you want. But more importantly ... play more games!
...more May 14, 2024Ep 249: Oy! What's All This Then!? In our penultimate episode, we're playing the current #1 game on BoardGameGeek Brass: Birmingham. Designed by Martin Wallace and published by Roxley in 2018.

...more May 07, 2024Ep 248: NO! I AM SPARTACUS! It's hard to believe that we've been doing this podcast for 5 years. That means it's a deep dive episode. We're hoping into the way way back machine (for us) and bringing back the first game that really brought us into the board game hobby: Spartacus: A Game of Blood and Treachery. It was designed by Aaron Dill and Sean Sweigart and published in 2012 by Gale Force Nine.
A small note ... we've decided to bring our podcast to a conclusion. We'll have two more episodes after this one, and we will close with episode 250. Thanks for all those who have listened and downloaded over the years and we hope that you'll stay with us as we publish our last few episodes.

We're just a normal group of fledgling heroes trying to make our way in the world but it's not free so first we have to build some capital.

...more April 16, 2024Ep 245: Let's Go! Yatta! What's the best part before taking a trip? Planning the trip obviously. You need spread sheets and brochures/websites, a good concept of time management and a reasonable expectation of your groups capabilities. Paxton, Kiwi, and bP put their skills to the test as we play Josh Wood's Let's Go! To Japan published in 2024 by AEG.

...more April 09, 2024Ep 244: Here There Be Dragons It's natural for humans to be lazy and subjugate animals to do their work for them. But what if those animals were mythical ... and if they were dragons? Well, of course we would. It's either that or be dragon food. This week we're playing Flamecraft, designed by Manny Vega and published by Cardboard Alchemy in 2022.
