This week, Joe, Jules and Lauren tuck into a mixed bag of gaming experiences. Jules has been dipping his fins into the Wingspan universe and getting back into Magic: The Gathering whilst being very excited about some upcoming IPs that are coming for his wallet. Joe has finally rejoined his weekly game group and had an absolutely kraken time bidding for the favour of gods in Cyclades. Lauren has been exploring a game that has her playing by the book in Artisans of Splendent Vale.

In this episode, Banana, Adrian and Conor are in the mood to reminisce about a HUGE gaming weekend for Adrian’s 40th birthday. Adrian has fallen for The Gang, and by that he means not just the people at his birthday bash, but the game as well. Meanwhile Conor has been battling head-to-head and having fun with one of his favourite TCG’s without breaking the bank, in Altered. Banana surprisingly enjoyed a game that prides itself on getting pleasure from other people’s misery in Shadenfreude, and also got to have an unexpected try of a Kickstarter prototype!

It wouldn’t be Oceania month without Matthew Dunstan, who is closing in on the title for the most guest appearances on the podcast! In this episode, Jules and Joe chat about Matthew’s new YouTube channel, co-designing, and how he enjoys giving back to the board game design community. We also hear about some upcoming games, the business of being a full-time board game designer, and which designer he’d like to co-design a game with!
Plenty of games have been hitting the table too. Jules is surprisingly taken with planning a Jazz Festival in Bebop, meanwhile, Joe and his friend Megs are newly married and not liking Conor’s taste in furnishings in Decorum.

Continuing on with our Oceania theme, Conor and Dana Banana are back and chatting to Aussie designer, Craig E. Somerton. Craig is still on a high after a successful Kickstarter with his first published game, Farm Hand. He talks about his journey in board gaming and designing, and in particular, his affinity for trick-taking games. He even hints at his new design!
As usual, when Conor and Banana get together, the episode is full of tangents that seem to go nowhere. Somewhere in between, is the occasional nod to a classic game in Five Tribes and Agricola while Craig gives us his no.1 trick-taker of all time.
As this episode was recorded in a post Cyclone Alfred time-warp, there is no Question of the Pod, but still lots of laughs and gaming conversation to enjoy!

In this episode, Adrian, Joe and Banana are in the hot seat. Adrian, in his first episode back after the break, has lots to talk about. From his continued love of Age of Steam with his son and Mum, to channeling his inner Marlon Brando, and making offers they can’t refuse in La Famiglia. Joe is finally back online and setting up his “Board Game Bungalow”, while dabbling in a bit of feline rescue in Isle of Cats The Duel, all the while making sure that those cats stay well away from Adrian! Meanwhile, Dana Banana is excited to chat about her being a “Fan of the Span”, with her take on Finspan.
They also recap last week's Question of the Pod, all before sharing some news as to what's got them fired up!

In this episode, Conor and Dana Banana are back for their first episode of 2025, while Lauren has so much to talk about, she returns for another chat in back-to-back episodes.
Lauren has us with our mouths open as she talks about her latest trick-taking game that has the weirdest theme we’ve heard in a while. Conor has settled into his role as a hobo as he rummages through his bindle looking for goodies at 2am in Vagrantsong. Meanwhile, Banana has fallen for Ryan Laukat as she tries to save the pack-turtle in her first experience with Red Raven Games in Creature Caravan.
They also recap last week's Question of the Pod, all before sharing some news as to what's got them fired up!
New Question of the Pod: What was your biggest gaming surprise of last year and what did you enjoy about it?
