Join Dan, Mitch and Adrian on Episode 231 as the lads debrief the Brisbane Game Day, discuss the big difference one fewer player can make in some games, we entertain more family friendly games, and we are perplexed over Sarah's scrambled egg paradox. In Sizzling Games, Adrian has been wildly winning wacky wagers, Mitch has been driving dice down in Detroit, and Dan has been fleeing from freaky foes in the forest.
We also recap last week's Question of the Pod: What's your favourite game where players make it great? Thanks to everyone who contributed and shared their experiences with us on Discord and the Facebook Community.
Finally, in Swear An Oath, Dan and Mitch encountered difficulties getting Weather Machine to the table, but Adrian managed to take a break from teaching games and enjoyed being the student for a change. New oaths include Motor City (Dan), Vindication (Adrian), Final Girl S2 (Mitch).
Question of the Pod: When has a game broken you?
Sizzling Games: Ready, Set, Bet (39:00), Motor City (47:30), Final Girl Season 2 (57:48)
