Steve is our only hope as his misfit rebellion defeat Andy’s evil empire in Star Wars Rebellion, Andy takes his revenge as a blood hungry vampire in Fury of Dracula and John talks about Imps Devilish Duels, a game of dice and cards from Triple Ace Games. The boys also take another look at the economic worker placement games of Crisis and Scythe. Discussion is then prompted by questions from listeners where all three weigh in with their thoughts on Battleships, Legacy games and the Spiel des Jahres nominees.

The boys try and catch up with things after the UK Games Expo, unfortunately the number of games to talk about gets the boys in a twist and chaos ensues. Jon gets his rhyming together in Obama Llama, Steve gets his escape pods and airlocks confused in Escape from the Aliens in Outer Space, Andy invades Rome in Hannibal and we all get political with Statecraft.

The Top Gear of table top gaming come together yet again to talk
about all manner of board games. Steve talks about getting to
play an early copy of Dark Souls, Andy explores the new world in
Empires: Age pf Discovery and Jon sets sail in the Curse of The
Black Dice.
We also answer questions from the mailbag, talking about meeting
our favourite designers, our magpie approach to games and the
requirements of cultivating a neck beard in order to play
magic.
The Polyhedron Collider chaps crack open a beer and discuss Blokus, Portal the Uncooperative Cake Acquisition Game, TIME Stories, Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition and miniatures in board games.
Once again Jon talks about Munchkin and Talisman, Andy tries to show off his sommelier skills with Viticulture and Steve talks about ruling The Seven Kingdoms in A Game of Thrones the board game. We also talk about the UK Games Expo and an in depth discussion about which flavour of WKD is best.
