Episode 353: Fishing, Bomb Busters, Chicago 1875: City of the Big Shoulders
Join Lauren, Adrian and Jules as they discuss what has been hitting their tables. The whiting is on the wall - Jules is hooked on trick taking, with Fishing. Lauren has been trying out less fishing and more fission, snipping wires in Bomb Busters. Adrian is grabbing his windbreaker and doing his best Al Capone impression in Chicago 1875: City of the Big Shoulders. To top it off we look forward in our question of the pod, and finish off with what has us fired up! Question of the Pod: What are your 2026 board game predictions?

Episode 352: Botswana, Exit: Advent Calendar, Crusaders: Thy Will Be Done - Divine Influence
Join Conor, Lauren and Adrian as they ring in the new year with a whole lot of new games. Adrian recalls his experience with the Exit Advent Calendar - the experience really opened some doors for him. Conor really embraces the theme of Crusaders as he focuses on expansion, giving a Devine take with Crusaders: Thy Will Be Done - Divine Influence. Lauren is playing a delightfully simple game that makes her want to gabber on, nay, sing, with Botswana. Then we round of with a very spirited question of the pod discussion, and finish off with what has us fired up!
