This is one of my favourite episodes talking to our good friend Brian.  We always have such a blast playing board games with him and his good lady wife Ali.  We talk about what hit our table, how we found the experience and what makes a good board game day.  Be a fly on the wall and share with us in the joy that board games bring to our lives.

Lets chat games that came in with so much hype, but are now rarely seen or we feel are less loved than they once were.

On this episode, we dive into all things mystery, cold cases and armchair detectives.  

Having completed 3 recently - we feel like we have a lot to say and need to shout about these ones that we have just completed as they are pretty good and in an oversaturated market, you need to know the good ones.  

So hear we are shouting loudly and proudly about:

So we were supposed to be talking about Boardtober but we started off by getting all nostalgic and crazy losing ourselves in hysteria before bringing it back round to Boardtober 2025 - the fifth Boardtober.  We discuss what we have been playing and our thoughts on being more discerning about board games choices.  As always pure madness but hopefully brings a smile to your face.

A super exciting episode where we chat to Dave Beck and Richard Woods all about the fantastic Distilled expansion Coctails.

This episode we discuss what has hit our table recently - sharing some of our favourites and then we deep dive into Bad Comet Games.  We discuss Shallow Sea and expansions, Life of the Amazonia, Wondrous Creatures and Wild Serengeti.  We discuss which ones we enjoy the most and share our thoughts on each game. 

Today we discuss our 'Summer of Fun' challenge, Mollycon 2025 and The Double Six popping party.  Of course it wouldn't be us if it didn't descend into chaos at times but essentially it is a round up of our Summer and perhaps you can see how the madness has set in with no routine.  See you on the other side.  

We go mad and play Ito with all the games that we have recently played.  We rank them from Sheep to Big Tiger with rampant enthusiasm.  Craig has several animals that he ranks as between a sheep and big tiger and noone will know what any of it means and neither do we really.  Utter chaos and apologies for being away for so long.  Silly internet problems.  But we are back and some of you may be wishing we'd stayed away lol

Today we talk everything TIME TROOPERS.  This is my favourite game of all time that isn't even out yet and I absolutely cannot get enough of it.  Join us as we talk to Mark about the idea for the game, how it came about, his relationship with Lee, the work behind the scenes and so much more.  To be honest this could be a two parter as we missed loads of things out.  I could talk about this for hours and so could Mark.  So come and join us and get involved with the campaign by backing it on Gamefound.

Tired and exhausted but with hearts full, we lay bear everything that we experienced at UKGE.  We share our favourite moments, all the new games we have got;  some which were bought and some which we have review.  We talk about the new layout of the halls, discuss the press event and explore everything the Expo had to offer.
