Why not buy a board game from our sponsors Kienda: kienda.co.uk/polyhedroncollider

Warning: This podcast contains strong language and adult content

In this episode of the Polyhedron Collider Podcast, Steve, Andy, and Rory break the mould and discuss a game on the bleeding edge of the tabletop gaming zeitgeist: Arcs, from Leder Games.  Andy shares his highlights from Airecon North West boardgame convention, and Steve and Rory go on tour with the band in Draft & Write Records (from Inside Up Games) before building rival romanticised county villages in Dorfromantik: The Duel, from Pegasus Spiele.

They round off the episode with some questions from the mailbag, including: what game mechanic are you rubbish at but utterly love? 

Games Mentioned

00:10:22 Sky Team and Colt Express
00:12:25 Prey Another Day
00:18:12 Draft & Write Records
00:30:05 Arcs
00:53:45 Dorfromantik: The Duel
01:07:35: Games we love but are crap at

Why not buy a board game from our sponsors Kienda: kienda.co.uk/polyhedroncollider

Warning: This podcast contains strong language and adult content

In this jam-packed episode of tabletop gaming chat, we have a few miniature painting brags to get out of the way before we delve into four in-depth board game reviews (sorry if you were hoping for some DIY or BBQ tips in this episode).

The dice-drafting, area control game, Castellans gets the Polyhedron Collider treatment, before Steve and Rory wax lyrical about the two-player cooperative game, the Spiel des Jahres game of the year winner Sky Team. We then explore and map new islands in Maps of Misterra, before sailing the high seas in search of booty in Port Royal: The Dice Game.

Finally, we delve into the mailbag to talk about AI in board games, and our biggest gaming surprise of the year. 

Games Mentioned

00:00:00 Miniature Painting, Star Wars: Imperial Assault and Lord of the Rings: Journeys in Middle Earth
00:07:01 Castellans
00:19:18 Sky Team
00:27:30 Maps of Misterra
00:41:07 Port Royal and Port Royal: The Dice Game
00:58:26 The Mail Bag
