The Dice Men Cometh

Yes, we’re still going to talk a bit about Cancon this week, but first we have some interviews, including one from Peter Hawes who was the Dice Men’s very first interview!! We bet you can’t guess what theme he is going with for his next possible game…

Leon asks Garth and Mark the hard questions about the games they played at CanCon, some would even call it a baggage of questions, before the guys discuss the upcoming Kickstarter for Boomerang by Grail Games, designed by the tiny and epic Scott Almes.

As always, thanks to LFG for their ongoing support Australia’s number one tabletop podcast!

He’s back! Yes, Garth has finally decided to end his holiday and joins Mark and Leon on this week’s show. And what a show it is!

We’ve got interviews with Martin Wallace (yes, that one!) and David Harding about their new games coming to a Kickstarter near you, followed by our initial CanCon thoughts, and to wrap it up we discuss Rocketmen, which IS Martin’s latest Kickstarter, and it’s about being a billionaire space explorer….hopefully.

Thanks as always to LFG for sponsoring us!

Taught by the great man himselfA lovely looking game

Garth is still away, so Mark and Leon are feeling magical while chatting about Tom Lehman’s new mage battering game Res Arcana. Mark then lets everyone know about his most anticipated games for Cancon, before spending all of Leon’s (and your) money on Kickstarter. All brought to you with thanks from LFG Australia.

With Garth still away, Mark gets to prattle on about his latest obsession, the epic Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon from Awaken Realms, and why he has spent so many hours playing it over the holidays.Leon then turns our attention to the dastardly and diabolical deeds of H.H.Holmes, in a Kickstarter preview of Crimes in History: H. H. Holmes’ Murder Castle.To wrap it up, we have some more BGG stats and that’s your blooming lot for this week, again with thanks to LFG Australia.

While Garth is away experiencing Australia’s bushfires firsthand, Leon and Mark hold the fort.

Leon takes the opportunity to talk about one of his new favourite cooperative games, Horrified, and why it may just replace Pandemic for him.

Mark meanwhile has some news of upcoming releases, including Frosthaven, the successor to Gloomhaven, as well as a few others.

Thanks as always to LFG Australia for their ongoing sponsorship.

The final episode for this year is here, where we chronicle our TOP TEN GAMES new to us in 2019.

All three Dice Men count down their favourites, with surprisingly little overlap, which include games released in 2018 and 2019.

Thank you so much to our sponsor, LFG Australia.

Magicians with no magic? A traitorous Sorcerer? A talking Grimoire? No, we’re not writing the latest installment of some boy-wizard novel, but playing Obscurio. Will it blink Mysterium out of existence, or find its own, slightly creepy audience? Listen in to find out.

We also tell you how a talking machine can teach you games, or even play along with you. Do we really want that?

Finally, don’t forget our Patreon-only competition. There’s still time to enter.With thanks as always to LFG Australia for their ongoing sponsorship.

Obscurio – it’s not what you think it is … or is it?

Tonight, the Dice Men are in SPAAACE!!! We attempt to fix a wreck of a ship while avoiding fire and slime, fix malfunctions (and the engines) and even manage to make sure we’re headed safely back to Earth…but there is just one problem … ALIENS!!

This week we feature Nemesis, the current game du jour, and give you the inside word on if it’s actually any good.

We then jump on the Christmas sleigh of giving by listing our games that should be under the Christmas Tree this year! Oh, and if you need to buy any of them, make sure to check out the LFG website!

PS Don’t forget about our Patreon competition – details in the podcast.

Everyone’s playing NemesisUh oh!Space catThe Queen is MASSIVE!
