Episode 33: So. Many. Games.
It's (almost) all hands on deck this episode as we get the gang together to launch Round 2 of the Board Game Bracket, bring a whole bunch or excellent games to the table, and discuss our recent oaths. We also try and break Dan by mentioning as many games as we can and making him add 60+ games to the shownotes.
In our massive Sizzling Games segment, Conor creates a cohesive and clever continent in Ecos, Mike takes off his mask and starts coughing everywhere in Plague Inc, Dan pulls a rabbit out of his hat in Trickerion, Def becomes a foreplanning expert Anachrony, Sarah dares to open the Jaws of the Lion, Mitch plays with Tiny Epic Dinosaurs, and Steve swings both ways with Pendulum.
We launch Round 2 of the Board Game Bracket with some really massive games in some massive match-ups with some mass debating as well. It's Codenames vs Through The Ages, On Mars vs Great Western Trail, Azul vs Mage Knight, and Dixit vs Terraforming Mars. make sure you head to our socials and vote for your favourite to make sure they go through to Round 3.
Oaths were sworn, worn, and reborn. Despite having seven hosts, we still managed a clean sweep of oaths! Everyone came to tha party and fufilled their oaths in the name of the podcast. So now a new round of oaths are now underway; Everdell (Steve), Nemo's War (Dan), Rome and Roll (Sarah), The Damsel's Tale (Conor), Flamme Rouge (Mitch), Marvel United (Mike), D-Day Dice: 2nd Ed (Def).

Slight coarse language.
All the crew (even Conor) are here tonight to battle it out again for supremacy.
Whose team are you on? Lock, or Spock?
Our fearless Trivia host Adrian does an excellent job of making us all look confused and perplexed.
We also announce the second round of the bracket, which will be starting soon.

In this episode Steve, Def and Jules dive into the world of heavy games. Our resident heavy-game expert, Def, shares his journey into the world of Vital Lacerda games, and Jules isn't afraid to dip his toe into complicated waters either. The team discusses some of their favourite heavy games, and all agree that if you put in the time to learn the rules you will soon find that the interconnectivity of the story and the consequences of your actions make heavy games so much more rewarding than other games.
In our Sizzling Games this week Jules discovers the joys of Azul, Def takes on the world of pollution and greedy governments (so basically real life) in CO2: Second Chance, and Steve goes one-on-one against his son in Unmatched.
In our Kickstarter segment the team shares what games have caught their eye. For Jules it's the city-builder Streets from Sinister Fish Games, and the new Lacerda thinky-filler Mercado de Lisboa has Def reaching for his wallet. And everyone is champing at the bit for the release of The 7th Citadel from Serious Poulp.
In our Board Game Bracket segment we announce the winner of the second-to-last match-up, On Mars vs Eclipse. With only one match-up left, Chronicles of Crime vs Everdell, we are almost ready to launch into Round 2 of the Board Game Bracket. But we need your help to get there so make sure you hit up our socials and vote for your favourites to make sure they survive.
Finally, in Swear An Oath, there are excuses aplenty!! Def failed to fulfil his Anachrony oath and tries to convince the others that purchasing Trickerion would balance the ledger for him. Jules played Portal, however his fulfillment of Brass: Birmingham is currently on pause so the team calls in the video referee to decide whether it counts as complete. He then commits to Vindication as his new oath. And Steve played A Feast For Odin back-to-back and thinks he has found a serious contender for his Top 10. And thanks to VR Distribution, Steve got his hands on My City - and swears an oath to get it to the table this weekend.

In this episode Steve, Dan and Conor are joined by the hottest designer in board gaming at the moment, Travis Jones. Travis, the designer of the recently released Pendulum, shares with us his journey from mild-mannered office worker to playtesting and releasing one of the most talked-about games this year. It's a fantastic interview and we were very grateful for his time. And he hangs around for the rest of the show!!
In our Sizzling Games this week Conor holds back the invaders on Spirit Island, Travis has been taking his friends into space in The Crew, and Dan plays cops and robbers in Stop Thief!
In our Board Game Bracket segment we resolve the Too Many Bones vs El Grande match-up, and then set-up the final bracket for Round 1: Chronicles of Crime vs Everdell. These are two massive games which are favourites amongst board gamers; Dan defends Chronicles of Crime while Conor vouches for Everdell; so make sure you get your vote in and make sure your favourite.
Finally, in Swear An Oath, Steve and Steve both managed to turn around their oaths in 48 hours, knocking over Tin Epic Kingdoms and Era: Medieval Age. Dan had a blast playing the cooperative Atlantis Rising. The team then swear oaths to play A Feast for Odin (Steve - pressured by Travis), Imperial Settlers: Empires of the North (Conor), and Trickerion: Legend of Illusion (Dan - egged on by Nereda and Wesley from our FB Community). And Travis even gets in on the action by swearing an oath to play Tribune: Primus Inter Pares.Special Guest: Travis Jones, designer of Pendulum (2:14)

In this episode Steve is joined by Conor and Sarah and the team discuss some great techniques to get family and friends in board games who might be averse to trying new things. The team share their experiences of getting games to the table with people who aren't familiar with modern board gaming. So if you ever see Steve shuffling cards in your peripheral...
In our Sizzling Games this week Conor enters the world of Portuguese wine in Vinhos, Sarah remains in control in... err, Ctrl, and Steve gets up to all kinds of shenanigans in Don't Get Got.
In our Board Game Bracket segment we settle our last listener-voted bracket; 7th Continent vs Seasons; and then set-up the next battle; On Mars vs Eclipse. And we have a special guest phone in to defend his On Mars nomination against Sarah's Eclipse argument. Both space-themed games sound excellent so expect this to be a close battle. Make sure you vote on our socials to make sure your favourite goes through to Round 2.
While the team are still reeling from the Nemesis: Lockdown pledge manager (#nemesisbackerwallet), Sarah tells us about a really beautiful Japanese game; Izayoi; currently on Kickstarter. Meanwhile, Conor is keeping an eye out for the postman for his Super Fantasy Brawl and Cloudspire deliveries.
Finally in Swear An Oath, Conor channeled Sir Richard Attenborough in Dinosaur Island, Sarah pleased the Gods by playing Teotihuacan: City of Gods, and Steve got his cogs turning in Tzolk'in. The team then swear new oaths by committing to playing Era: Medieval Age (Conor), Res Arcana (Sarah) and Tiny Epic Kingdoms (Steve).

On this episode Steve, Sarah and Jules welcome our new sponsor: Advent Games! Make sure you check out our FB Community page for your chance to win one of our Sizzling GAmes from this week! (more details below)
In our Sizzling Games, Sarah has been cooking up a storm in Kitchen Rush, Jules is serving the drinks in Taverns of Tiefenthal, and Steve is out there eating villagers in Werewolf
In our Topic of the Week we take stock of the games that 2020 has brought us so far. 0ur team share their favourite games and also the games that they are looking forward to most. What's you favourite game so far? What game are you most looking forward to? Share your thought on our socials; Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Discord.
In our Board Game Bracket we announce the winner from the 7 Wonders v Zombicide battle, and it was a landslide win - but to which game?? We also line up our next battle: Seasons vs 7th Continent. Make sure you vote for your favourite game to make sure it goes through the next round.
Finally, in Swear An Oath Steve rolls out the same excuses as always and didn't fulfill his oath from the last episode. Unsurprisingly Jules completely let him off the hook because he didn't fulfill one of his oaths either. Luckily we have Sarah to uphold the integrity of the podcast. So while Steve didn't play Vinhos and Jules didn't play Portal, they both double-down on their oaths and swear to play The Crew and Brass: Birmingham. Meanwhile Sarah, fresh from her back-to-back games of Betrayal at Calth swears an oath to pronounce, I mean play, Teotihuacan: City of Gods.
