Join Steve, Andy, Sid and Rory for a jam packed episode of board game reviews, a special Essen Spiel preview and more Ramshackle Nonsense than you’ve come to love and expect. “I’m the Branston’s pickle in this ginger bread sandwich” - I mean, where else are you going to find tabletop commentary like that, eh? The boys make camp on their way to face off against the big bad in a review of Set A Watch: Forsaken Isles. Build some fancy magnetic monuments in an Age Contrived before jumping on a train full of radioactive material in Nucleum before spending a good chunk of this episode gushing about all of the lovely games available to (finally) buy and demo and this year’s Essen Spiele.Games Mentioned

In this episode of the Polyhedron Collider Podcast, Steve, Andy, and Rory break the mould and discuss a game on the bleeding edge of the tabletop gaming zeitgeist: Arcs, from Leder Games. Andy shares his highlights from Airecon North West boardgame convention, and Steve and Rory go on tour with the band in Draft & Write Records (from Inside Up Games) before building rival romanticised county villages in Dorfromantik: The Duel, from Pegasus Spiele.
They round off the episode with some questions from the mailbag, including: what game mechanic are you rubbish at but utterly love?

In this jam-packed episode of tabletop gaming chat, we have a few miniature painting brags to get out of the way before we delve into four in-depth board game reviews (sorry if you were hoping for some DIY or BBQ tips in this episode).
The dice-drafting, area control game, Castellans gets the Polyhedron Collider treatment, before Steve and Rory wax lyrical about the two-player cooperative game, the Spiel des Jahres game of the year winner Sky Team. We then explore and map new islands in Maps of Misterra, before sailing the high seas in search of booty in Port Royal: The Dice Game.
Finally, we delve into the mailbag to talk about AI in board games, and our biggest gaming surprise of the year.
Games Mentioned
00:00:00 Miniature Painting, Star Wars: Imperial Assault and Lord of the Rings: Journeys in Middle Earth 00:07:01 Castellans 00:19:18 Sky Team 00:27:30 Maps of Misterra 00:41:07 Port Royal and Port Royal: The Dice Game 00:58:26 The Mail Bag

No, it’s not a Bisto advert, it’s Rory and Steve’s gushing review of Yonder from Sinister Fish[/company], their latest worker placement boardgame from Villagers and Moon designer Haakon Gaarder - which is currently live on Kickstarter and absolutely worth your time checking out.
We then get all Lovecraftian with a lively discussion about Cthulhu Death May Die from CMON (and provided by show sponsor Kienda), its similarities to Mansions of Madness and whether both, or either are any good - are you Team Sid, or Team Rory?
We then move to the other end of tabletop gaming as we explore the bonkers, pulpy Achtung! Cthulhu 2D20 Starter Set from Modiphius.
Games Mentioned

The boys from the Collider are back and they are still reeling from all the board game goodies they picked-up during the UK Games Expo - which means this is a packed episode full of reviews of the latest tabletop games.

In this latest podcast episode we build inner city trains in Terminus, grow tulips in Windmill Valley, trade spices in Sand, and re-terraform Scotland in Rebirth.

The boys from the Collider waste little time in the latest episode of the Collider Cast and get straight to business discussing the clever but hideously ugly Carpe Diem by Stefan Feld on which both Andy and Rory agree upon, for a change. Steve talks us through the deeply satisfying, if not mentally taxing and beautifully pastel Salton Sea from Devir Games. Sid and Rory chime in with their two cents of their experience of that and Sea, Salt and Paper that they'd enjoyed on a work day bunk at the Games Den.
The episode wraps with some burning questions from the bag bag, such as Bacon of Sausage Sarnie.

We are over a quarter of the way through the year, so that means Rory and Steve, are a quarter of the way through their BGG Top 100 challenge, so we look back at the current highlights and lowlights and of course talk about some of the best board games currently playable.
But its not all about looking back as we go into detail about card drafting game Vale of Eternity, a game that’s much deeper than it looks, and Apiary, a Euro-style game themed around bees in space. We then dip into the mailbag for chat about the themes we are fed up of.
