  • Episode 349: Riftbound, Castle Combo
    Dec 1 2025
    Join Conor, Jules and Adrian in this “all-aussie” pod as Adrian celebrates his citizenship. No longer a Brit, but an Aussie through and through … as if he wasn’t already! Adrian has been revisiting an old favourite and curing himself of the plague in Bristol 1350. Jules has been wooed by a game about picnicking on plaid with ants in the new Bitewing Games title, Gingham. Coincidentally, Conor is also corralling six-legged insects in March of the Ants. The crew also give a rundown on recent game days in all three states, their obsession with Riftbound and Conor chats about a small box hit he’s discovered. As usual there are lots of laughs and all-round gaming goodness!

  • Episode 348: Soda Jerk, Vivo, Panda Panda, Pirates of Maracaibo
    Nov 18 2025

    Join Dana, Lauren, Joe and the ghosts that haunt Dana's house as they chat about all the games hitting their tables. Joe has been checking out some small games to see whether they measure up, in Panda Panda and Vivo. Lauren thinks this one is so delightful, but that might be a knee-jerk reaction, with Soda Jerk. Dana engages in some nautical nonsense, breaking her back carrying all that loot in Pirates of Maracaibo. We also have our question of the pod and round it up with what has us fired up!
