The Offline Gamer

It's been a while since we've done a regular episode, so this month we just have a catchup of what we've been playing since last time. Also, Matt is doing a board game Twitch stream at the end of October for the Raise Your Game event run by Dementia UK. For more information see https://justgiving.com/fundraising/qbie

Who'd have thought it, we've been doing this for five years! In this episode we look back over the past five years, as well as borrow a format from another podcast and discuss our top ten board games in our collection.

It's almost here, the first ever virtual UK Games Expo! We take a look at what we can expect over the weekend of the 21st to 23rd August!

In this episode Matt has a chat with comedian James Cook, probably best known amongst the board game community for his Always Be Rolling, Pandemic Live and Board Game Smackdown shows.

It's time for another episode of Meeple Mail, where we take a dive into our inbox to see what we've been sent over the past few weeks.

Matt's gone a bit crazy backing Kickstarters, and also has around 1700 games to play from the Bundle for Justice and Racial Equality. He's itching to play them... (See what we did there?)

It's been a month since our last Meeple Mail, so we have a bunch of emails to get through. Let's see what people have been sending us this month.

To celebrate our 50th episode, we've decided to put on a quiz! Joining us for this special occasional are some of our friends, but which one of them knows the most about games?

We're still stuck indoors this month, but that's no reason why Matt can't spend lots of cash backing Kickstarter projects he'll be able to play (hopefully) once lockdown is over...

Our inbox is virtually overflowing! Let's take a look inside in our next episode of Meeple Mail.
