In this week's episode, Joe, Jules and Lauren share what has been hitting their tables. Jules is back after a break and is still riding the high from Gen Con (in more ways than one). Joe has been playing a game with a grandma featuring a bazooka from the one and only Dr. Lauren has been frantically drawing things terribly. There's also the Question of the Pod and a brand new segment which includes exonerating hosts from some unfulfilled oaths, and instead pumping each other up with what has them fired up! New Question of the Pod: What's got you fired up?Timestamps:Pictomania [29:05]Escalation! [35:40]Things in Rings [39:45]Question of the Pod Recap: [0:52:45]What has us fired up?

In this bitter-sweet episode Def is hyped up to sizzle the space opera that is Arcs. It is also his final sizzle as he announces that he is leaving the podcast. So in honour of Def's departure, some of the original BBQ crew return to say goodbye.
Def has been such an integral part of the podcast since its inception over four years ago, and his insightful musings about this hobby will be sorely missed. Best of luck, Def. We love you, mate.
New Question of the Pod: What is your favourite 'Def' moment from the podcast?

Welcome to Episode 302 of the Board Game BBQ Podcast! This episode is packed with exciting board game discussions and due to a time dilation feels like an epic adventure akin to Avengers: Endgame.
Adrian is back from Japan and has been diving deep into the world of Japanese board games.
He couldn't resist sharing his experience with his sizzling game "Deep Sea Adventure."
Adrian hints at continuing his exploration of more Japanese games in upcoming episodes.
Dana had the opportunity to play her first prototype game from Paverson Games, titled "Luthier."
While she teases more information about Luthier for later, her sizzling game of the week is "Gizmo." Tune in to hear Dana's thoughts on this intriguing game and what makes it stand out.
Jules has been immersed in the game "La Famiglia." He shares his love for the theme, area control mechanics, and the engaging 2 vs 2 gameplay. Listen as Jules delves into why "La Famiglia" has captivated his interest and how it plays out on the table.
