Tue, 13 Jan 2026 12:23:37 +1100

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!

Episode 349: Riftbound, Castle Combo

Tue, 02 Dec 2025 10:30:00 +1100

Join Conor, Jules and Adrian in this “all-aussie” pod as Adrian celebrates his citizenship. No longer a Brit, but an Aussie through and through … as if he wasn’t already!

Adrian has been revisiting an old favourite and curing himself of the plague in Bristol 1350. Jules has been wooed by a game about picnicking on plaid with ants in the new Bitewing Games title, Gingham. Coincidentally, Conor is also corralling six-legged insects in March of the Ants. The crew also give a rundown on recent game days in all three states, their obsession with Riftbound and Conor chats about a small box hit he’s discovered.

As usual there are lots of laughs and all-round gaming goodness!

Riftbound: [34:52]

Castle Combo: [50:51]

Episode 335: The Anarchy, Blood on the Clocktower, Compile

Tue, 06 May 2025 12:09:28 +1000

In this jam-packed episode, Conor takes the reins as host and is joined by Adrian and Joe to chat about what they’ve been playing, some solo deep-dives, party chaos, and emerging favourites.

Joe's Long Weekend of Mayhem
Joe dives into his recent experience playing Blood on the Clocktower over a long weekend with friends. Expect stories of bluffing, betrayal, and late-night accusations as he shares how this social deduction classic went down with his group—and whether any friendships survived the chaos!

Conor Compiles... and Compiles Again
Conor has been putting in serious time with Compile, getting in multiple plays of this clever and compact card game. He shares his thoughts on how it holds up after repeated plays, where it shines, and whether it’s earned a permanent spot in his rotation.

Adrian Goes Solo with The Anarchy
Adrian has been digging deep into The Anarchy, especially in solo mode. He breaks down how the game works, what makes it stand out mechanically, and why it’s kept him coming back to the table. If you’re a solo gamer or a fan of crunchy historical themes, this one’s for you.

Plus, the team riffs on gameplay highlights, player dynamics, and what’s exciting them in the hobby right now.

Episode 333: The Gang, Altered TCG

Thu, 10 Apr 2025 05:00:00 +1000

In this episode, Banana, Adrian and Conor are in the mood to reminisce about a HUGE gaming weekend for Adrian’s 40th birthday. Adrian has fallen for The Gang, and by that he means not just the people at his birthday bash, but the game as well. Meanwhile Conor has been battling head-to-head and having fun with one of his favourite TCG’s without breaking the bank, in Altered. Banana surprisingly enjoyed a game that prides itself on getting pleasure from other people’s misery in Shadenfreude, and also got to have an unexpected try of a Kickstarter prototype!

Episode 332: Special Guest Matthew Dunstan

Tue, 25 Mar 2025 10:30:00 +1100

It wouldn’t be Oceania month without Matthew Dunstan, who is closing in on the title for the most guest appearances on the podcast! In this episode, Jules and Joe chat about Matthew’s new YouTube channel, co-designing, and how he enjoys giving back to the board game design community. We also hear about some upcoming games, the business of being a full-time board game designer, and which designer he’d like to co-design a game with!

Plenty of games have been hitting the table too. Jules is surprisingly taken with planning a Jazz Festival in Bebop, meanwhile, Joe and his friend Megs are newly married and not liking Conor’s taste in furnishings in Decorum.

Episode 331: Special Guest Craig E. Somerton

Tue, 18 Mar 2025 10:30:00 +1100

Continuing on with our Oceania theme, Conor and Dana Banana are back and chatting to Aussie designer, Craig E. Somerton. Craig is still on a high after a successful Kickstarter with his first published game, Farm Hand. He talks about his journey in board gaming and designing, and in particular, his affinity for trick-taking games. He even hints at his new design!

As usual, when Conor and Banana get together, the episode is full of tangents that seem to go nowhere. Somewhere in between, is the occasional nod to a classic game in Five Tribes and Agricola while Craig gives us his no.1 trick-taker of all time.

As this episode was recorded in a post Cyclone Alfred time-warp, there is no Question of the Pod, but still lots of laughs and gaming conversation to enjoy!

This week, Conor and Lauren are joined by Peter C Hayward, designer of podcast darling Things in Rings.

Tue, 11 Feb 2025 14:29:22 +1100

In this episode, Adrian, Joe and Banana are in the hot seat. Adrian, in his first episode back after the break, has lots to talk about. From his continued love of Age of Steam with his son and Mum, to channeling his inner Marlon Brando, and making offers they can’t refuse in La Famiglia. Joe is finally back online and setting up his “Board Game Bungalow”, while dabbling in a bit of feline rescue in Isle of Cats The Duel, all the while making sure that those cats stay well away from Adrian! Meanwhile, Dana Banana is excited to chat about her being a “Fan of the Span”, with her take on Finspan.

They also recap last week's Question of the Pod, all before sharing some news as to what's got them fired up!

Episode 323: Awkward Guests, The Light in the Mist

Tue, 10 Dec 2024 10:30:00 +1100

Episode 323: Awkward Guests, The Light in the Mist.

On this week’s Episode, Dan and Dana have to take the reins at short notice while Adrian is recuperating. Dan has been trying to get rid of all his ‘midden’ as a Scottish Farmer in Skara Brae, only to find he is perhaps better suited to being Captain Obvious or a super sleuth in Awkward Guests. Meanwhile, Dana has been mulling over whether her daughter’s fear of electrocution has trumped her love of Brie in My Favourite Things. This of course comes a distant second to a good-looking tarot deck with a twist in The Light in the Mist.

There's also the Question of the Pod, Swear an Oath, and all of the usual shenanigans you've come to expect from the Board Game BBQ Podcast.

New Question of the Pod: Stuck for stocking stuffer ideas? Give us your recommendations!

Tue, 03 Dec 2024 11:00:00 +1100

Joe pieces together all the information to share his perspective on Perspectives - a game about solving mysteries while sharing limited information with friends. To round us off, Lauren and Jules discuss their mixed feelings with the very beautiful looking Rats of Wistar.

They also share the community responses from last week's Question of the Pod, anticipate what games they could play in this week's question, and get fired up for the coming week!

Episode 321: Sea, Salt & Paper, 51st State, the Undaunted series

Tue, 26 Nov 2024 11:00:00 +1100

In this week’s podcast, Conor, Adrian and Joe serve up a slew of games. Adrian goes off the rails with an amuse-bouche sizzle of Age of Steam, before diving into a game of drafting and collecting sets in Sea, Salt & Paper. Joe has been playing his cards just right to build up his resources in 51st State – a game with a theme that definitely has nothing to do with current world events and everything is absolutely fine. Conor rounds it off with a war – in SPACE. He talks through the Undaunted series of games including its most recent standalone Undaunted 2200: Callisto. You'd think those corporations would be happier given they're fighting over the moon.

We then turn to our recap of last week’s question of the pod, and what is getting us fired up lately.

Episode 319: Special Guest Carl Van Ostrand

Tue, 12 Nov 2024 10:30:00 +1100

Get ready to dive into the latest episode as Adrian and Conor (our beloved Donkey and Shrek duo) are joined by the one and only Carl Van Ostrand for a lively, laughter-packed episode!

In this Episode:

Conor dives into “Conservas” – Conor brings us some canned goodness with Conservas, a game inspired by the culinary world of Portuguese tinned fish. Who knew sardines could be so strategic? But it’s not just fishy puns and packaging – this game is a deep dive into unique set collection with a side of savory strategy.
Adrian takes us to “Windmill Valley” – Adrian introduces us to Windmill Valley, a whimsical, pastoral escape that combines the scenic beauty of countryside villages with relaxing resource management.
Carl brings the ocean to the table with “Kelp” – Carl shares insights on Kelp, an immersive and atmospheric game where players navigate the undersea world. Think survival meets symbiosis as you explore marine mysteries, form alliances with underwater creatures, and strategize to thrive in a beautifully crafted ecosystem.

Tune in for all the laughs, banter, and maybe even a little bit of singing (we see you, Donkey). Don’t miss this episode if you’re curious about coastal adventures, curious card games, or just love hearing Conor and Adrian’s dynamic Shrek-and-Donkey energy!

Tue, 19 Apr 2022 10:45:00 +1000

Like a house with a fresh lick of paint we are back with a new intro and a new vibe. On this episode Jules, Adrian and Dan breakdown the week that was, including the massively successful Brisbane Game Day, a new Pandemic Legacy Season One spoilercast over on our Patreon channel, Oceania Month coming up in March, and we get involved in supporting the BarbeCURE Charity which raises awareness for Cure Cancer. The team also discuss the games they've been playing, including Frostpunk on PC, Land vs Sea, Teotihuacan, Mazescape, 18Chesapeake, and A Feast For Odin.

In the Board Game Bracket we settle the last match-up, Clank! vs Anachrony, before Adrian and Dan square off in our next battle: Pandemic Legacy Season One vs Cartographers. To make sure your favourite goes through to the next round make sure you vote on our socials.

Finally, in Swear An Oath Jules is still working on painting his Nemesis: Lockdown figures, Dan hasn't started the Under Falling Skies campaign yet (but did complete the first case in Detective after revisiting it), and Adrian is still struggling to wrap his head around Hadrian's Wall. New oaths include the Targi (Dan), playing his fully painted version of Cosmic Frog (Jules), and making a start on his Kingdom Death Monster minis - with a little help from his friends (Adrian).

Episode 169: Empires of the North, Terra Mystica, Ark Nova

Tue, 11 Jan 2022 11:00:00 +1100

Join Adrian, Sarah, and Conor as they share some of their recent experiences of playtesting some upcoming games including Anunnaki, Skate Summer, and Scrap.

In our Sizzling Games tonight Conor revisits a favourite of the podcast Empires of the North. Sarah has been enjoying Terra Mystica on Board Game Arena recently and recalls how it was one of the first heavy games she ever played, and the team discuss the similarities with Gaia Project. Not to be outdone, Adrian has been playing the new hotness in Ark Nova, managing his own unique zoo.

We launch the next match-up in the Bracket Battle 2.0: Barrage vs Maracaibo. It's Adrian vs Conor and they plead their case as to why their game is better. To make sure your favourite goes through to the next round make sure you vote on our socials.

Finally in Swear an Oath Adrian's vow to teach Aeon's End to Conor remains, but he did get to play his Secret Santa game: Cryo. Conor is still staring at his unpainted Warhammer minis, and also hasn't played The Mad Titan just yet. Sarah fulfilled her oath to play Chronicles of Crime but unfortunately the first case left her lukewarm. New oaths include 10x plays of Ark Nova (Adrian), Super Skill Pinball: Ramp It Up (Conor), and the Terra Mystica expansions (Sarah).

Episode 168: Men At Work, Undaunted: Reinforcements, Maquis

Fri, 07 Jan 2022 11:00:00 +1100

Solo Gamers Unite!

On this episode of the Board Game BBQ Podcast Dan, Mitch and Mike dive into the world of solo games. Mitch is a veteran of solo game, Mike is new to the solo experience, and Dan is somewhere in the middle. The crew discuss their solo experiences, why they enjoy solo games, and share some of their favourites.

In the Sizzling Games segment, Mike has been testing his dexterity with Men At Work, Mitch has been expanding his Undaunted games with the Reinforcements expansion, and Dan has been sneaking around around France in Maquis.

We dive back into the Bracket Battle and announce the winner of the last match up: Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion vs Raiders of the North Sea.

Finally in Swear an Oath, Dan has almost cleared the decks of unfulfilled oaths with just Journeys of Middle Earth remaining. Mike is roping Jules and Dan into playing Ankh in the coming days, and Mitch tiptoed through the tulips in Meadow. New oaths include Dinosaur Island: Rawr and Write (Dan), Mystic Vale (Mike), and Dune Imperium (Mitch).

And the Secret Segment makes a return after Mitch dared Dan to host the episode as Arnold Schwarzenegger. That was never going to go well...

Episode 167: Voyages, Anno 1800, Mini Express, Nyet!

Tue, 04 Jan 2022 11:00:00 +1100

We are back for 2022! (was there ever any doubt?)

Join Adrian, Sarah, Def and Jules as they discuss giving games a second chance. What factors can sour a first play, what you should consider when you first learn a game, and the team list some games they have granted a second chance.

In the Sizzling Games segment, Jules has been the playing the new Roll and Write from friend of the show Matthew Dunstan (and Rory Muldoon): Voyages. Sarah has been enjoying the Martin Wallace city building game Anno 1800. Def is still living out his train fantasies with Mini Express. Finally Adrian has found his new favourite trick-taking game: Nyet!

We dive back into the Bracket Battle and recap the last match up: Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion vs Raiders of the North Sea.

Finally in Swear an Oath Def fulfilled his oaths of Clans of Caledonia and also Hellenica: Story of Greece. Adrian overcame Mitch's sleep-inducing tutorial and played Merchants of the Dark Road, and also played Santa's Workshop, but fell short of teaching Conor Aeon's End. Sarah hasn't played Chronicles of Crime yet, but did play Forge War. Jules played half a game of Mysthea (so it doesn't count!) but is prepared to play it at this weekend's Melbourne Board Game Day. In the spirit of second chances, Adrian swears an oath to revisit Dwellings of Eldervale, Def swears to give Imperium: Classics a second chance, Sarah swears to play Great Western Trail, and Jules will finally finish painting his Unsettled minis.

Episode 149: Special Guest: Sam MacDonald. Plus Hadrian's Wall, Chronicles of Crime: 2400, Search for Planet X, Francis Drake

On this episode Steve, Conor and Dan are joined by game designer Sam MacDonald. Fresh from the KickStarter launch of his new game Circadians: Chaos Order, Sam tells us about how he approaches game design, and his thoughts on designing engaging and challenging games. Sam has an unique way of looking at game design and he gives a masterclass for anyone looking at designing a game of their own. This is one interview you don't want to miss!

In our Sizzling Games segment Conor has been mastering the combo-tastic Hadrian's Wall, Dan has been traveling to the future in Chronicles of Crime: 2400, Sam has been on a Search for Planet X, and Steve has been reliving the voyages of Francis Drake.

In the Bracket Battle 2.0 we check in on the current battle: Viscounts of the West Kingdom vs Quacks of Quedlinburg. To make sure your favourite goes through to the next round make sure you place your vote on our socials.

Finally, in Swear An Oath both Steve and Conor played Fantastic Factories and can confirm that it is fantastic (and it has factories!), and Dan sheds some light on the Nightfall Expansion to PARKS. New oaths are also sworn: Destinies (Conor), Star Scrappers (Steve), Escape Plan (Dan), and Sleeping Gods (Sam).

Episode 146: Special Guest: David Turczi! PluSearch For Planet X, Dungeons & Dragons 5e, Castell

On this episode Steve, Sarah and Mitch are joined by the one and only David Tuczi. David talks about the origins of the upcoming Voidfall, how he approaches designing solo mode for other people's games, his friendships in the industry, and some of his most proudest achievements in game design so far (and if you thought Adrian can talk, wait until you hear David!) It's a fascinating interview, with insights into all kinds of games, and one you don't want to miss.

In our Sizzling Games segment Sarah has been using her deductive powers in her Search For Planet X, Mitch has been assuming the role of Dungeon Master in our very own Dungeons & Dragons Adventure, and Steve has been stacking humans in Castell.

In the Bracket Battle 2.0 poor David has his loyalties divided as we announce the winner of Kanban EV vs Anachrony. Then we set-up the next Bracket Battle - Eclipse: Second Dawn For The Galaxy vs Dice Throne. To make sure your favourite goes through to the next round make sure you place your vote on our socials.

Finally, in Swear An Oath Steve has cleaned the decks and completed both of his oaths: Dinosaur World and the scenarios in Smartphone Inc, Mitch completed two cases of Chronicles of Crime: 2400 with Dan, and Sarah has continues on her miniature painting journey. New oaths this week are Alice is Missing (Steve), Fantastic Factories (Mitch), and Arkwright: The Card Game (Sarah). And David even jumps in on the Oath action by prominsing to play Gran Austria Hotel, Great Wall and Bitoku by the time he comes back on the show! (We are going to hold you to that, David!!)

Episode 145: Architects of the West Kingdom, Terraforming Mars Ares Expedition, Dinosaur Island Rawr & Write, Whistle Mountain

Fri, 08 Oct 2021 10:55:00 +1100

Episode 145: Architects of the West Kingdom, Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition, Dinosaur Island Rawr'n'Write, Whistle Mountain

Surprise! Have you ever played a game that pleasantly surprised you? On this episode Steve, Def and Mike discuss games that they like but don't necessarily fit their normal game style. Do you have any games in your collection that stand out from the rest?

In our Sizzling Games segment Def has revisited Architects of the West Kingdom with four and five players and has even been exploring the asymmetric player powers. Mike has two games to Sizzle: Dinosaur Island Rawr'n'Write, and Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition and is in love with both. Steve finally got Whistle Mountain to his gaming group and loved the "Tetris on top of each other" fun.

In the Bracket Battle 2.0 we check in on the current battle: Anachrony vs Kanban EV. We then dip into the mail bag for The Roast. Steve shares his "enlist or die" strategy when playing the Crimean faction in Scythe, Mike tells us about his longest ever game of Zombiecide, and Def counts on one hand the games he can beat his wife in. We also discuss our favourite meats to BBQ, hardest games to learn, and game mechanics we could do without.

Finally, in Swear An Oath Steve swear to play the Campaign Mode for Smart Phone Inc , Def swears to play a few more planets in Unsetlled, and Mike swears to graduate from the roll'n'write and play Dinosaur World.

Episode 144: Special guest – Kim Brebach! Plus My Little Scythe, Cascadia, Land vs Sea

Tue, 05 Oct 2021 10:55:00 +1100

Episode 144: Special Guest - Kim Brebach from Good Games Publishing, My Little Scythe, Cascadia, Land vs Sea

On this episode Sarah, Jules and Adrian are joined by Kim Brebach from Good Games Publishing. He talks about his journey into game design, his mission to find games that have incredible depth, and his development approach to playtesting new games.

In our Sizzling Games segment Adrian has been enjoying My Little Scythe with his family, Kim has discovered the joy of Cascadia, and both Jules and Sarah have been carefully placing (and stealing) tiles in Land vs Sea.

In the Bracket Battle 2.0 we announce the winner from last week's Blood Rage vs City of the Big Shoulders, and then launch our next battle: Anachrony vs Kanban EV. Jules and Adrian go head to head in this battle, so we have to call in an expert to split the difference! Make sure you vote for your favourite on our socials to make sure it goes through to the next round.

Finally, in Swear An Oath Jules has started painting his Unsettled miniatures but is still determined to beat that last level. Meanwhile Sarah completed The Initiative and Adrian has the 2010 edition of Vinhos lined up. Kim joins in the action and swears to revisit Scythe to reassess his opinion, and Jules, Adrian and Sarah all swear to have a Paint Party!

It was certainly one of the best recordings to be a part of, and we hope you enjoy watching!

Join Dan, Sarah and Jules on this episode as they are visited by the fabulous Monique and Naveen from Before You Play. We chat to them about their journey from Instagram to YouTube, some of their favourite designers and themes, and how they approach creating content.

In our Sizzling Games segment Sarah has been using the modular boards to play Scythe with two players, Monique has been trading cloth in Calimala, Jules has been mining for minerals in Tinner's Trail, and finally Naveen has been investing in spices in Goa.

We check in on the Bracket Battle 2.0 and also answer some of your questions in The Roast.

Finally, in Swear An Oath Sarah has completed the campaign in My City, and also taught Def how to play War Chest. So for fear of idle hands Sarah then swears a new oath to complete her campaign of The Initiative. Dan is on the precipice of starting The Dunwich Legacy, but also doubles down and swears to play the Nightfall expansion to PARKS. Jules is determined to complete Planet 6 in Unsettled, but also plans to spend some time doing some painting over the next week. (Why not join him in our Print&Paint channel on our Discord!)

Episode 120 - Teotihuacan Late Pre-classic Period and Shadow of Xitle , Architects of the West Kingdom, Red 7, The Mind

On this episode Steve, Conor and Mike bring new meaning to the word 'chaos'. Once the dust settles, the lads discuss board gaming statistics - do they keep gaming stats? Why? How do you use/refer to them? Which of our hosts is anti-stats?

In the Sizzling Games segment Steve has explored the expansions to Teotihuacan, Late Pre-classic Period and Shadow of Xitle, and he gives us a rundown on how they significantly improve the game. Conor dived deeper into Architects of the West Kingdom with the Age of Artisans expansion. Meanwhile Mike has been playing the ever-changing Red 7, and also the mind-melding The Mind.

In the Bracket Battle 2.0 we tally up the scores and find out if Too Many Bones or Dwellings of Eldervale took the chocolates. Then, we set-up the next battle: Ganz Schon Clever vs Raiders of the North Sea. Make sure you head to our socials and cast your vote to make sure your favourite goes through to the next round.

Finally in Swear An Oath, Mike has Stone Age still on the shelf and Marvel Champions ready to go, Conor played Raiders of Scythia but hasn't got around to Galaxy's Most Wanted just yet, and Steve played Circadian's First Light and also achieved a new personal best in Hadrian's Wall. New oaths sworn include Scape Goat (Mike), Cloud Age (Conor), The West Kingdom Tomesaga (Steve) and Galaxy's Most Wanted (Steve).

Episode 118: Vinhos, Hanamikoji, Ankh

Tue, 06 Jul 2021 09:55:00 +1000

Episode 118 - Vinhos, Hanamikoji, Ankh: Gods of Egypt

On this episode Steve, Jules and Mitch discuss their Top 5 Games that are outside the BGG Top 1000. What unsung heroes do you have in your collection that you think should be ranked higher in the pantheon of games? Do you have any cross-over with the BGBBQ Team?

In Sizzling Games, Mitch introduced his family to the wonderful Vinhos from Vital Lacerda. Steve discovered the wonders of the small-box game, Hanamikoji. Lastly, Jules has been gushing over his back-breaking delivery of Ankh this week and so he finally gets to tell us all about it!

In the Bracket Battle 2.0 we review last week's battle, Marvel Champions vs Pipeline, before we set-up this week's battle: Too Many Bones vs Dwellings of Eldervale.

Finally in Swear An Oath, Steve played some more Hadrian's Wall and Fleet: The Dice Game, Jules found his happy place with Ankh, Mitch is looking forward to his first Family Game Night this week. New Oaths are Circadians: First Light (Steve), Living Planet (Jules), and to win a mission of D-Day Dice (Mitch).

Episode 114: Le Havre, Juicy Fruits, Mini Express

Tue, 22 Jun 2021 09:55:00 +1000

Episode 114 - Le Havre, Juicy Fruits, Mini Express

On this episode Steve and Def are joined by our very own Internet sensation - Mike, fresh from some online gaming sessions this week with Lincoln and Nikki from Game Night! and then Stella from Meeple University. (links below)

In our Sizzling Games segment Steve has been continuing his love affair with Uwe Rosenberg in Le Havre, Mike introduces us to the islands of Juicy Fruits (and introduces us to mangosteens, which I still swear is a made-up word!), and Def relives his childhood dreams of being a train conductor by playing Mini Express.

The Topic of the Pod is our most anticipated games: based on Kickstarters, expansions, retail releases, and rumours. Leave a comment on our socials if we didn't mention the game that you are most looking forward to!

In the Board Game Bracket 2.0 we settle last week's match-up: Cartographers vs Res Arcana, before we launch the next battle: Wingspan vs Archaeology.

We quickly check the mailbag for a quick Roast - the team share their favourite 2-player games and 4-player games, Def discloses his gaming priorities when moving house, and we laugh at the longest games the crew have ever played.

Finally in Swear An Oath, Mike fulfilled his oath of attempting 5x games solo and had an absolute blast. Def swore to play Scythe against not one but FOUR automas, and remarkably he came second! And Steve enjoyed the delightful Remember Our Trip. New oaths include Tiny Epic Dinosaurs and Stone Age (Mike), an online game with Steve & Mike (Def), and another Uwe Rosenberg classic: Caverna (Steve).

Episode 112 - Bonfire, Hostage Negotiator, Aeon's End Legacy

Tue, 15 Jun 2021 09:55:00 +1000

Episode 112 - Bonfire, Hostage Negotiator, Aeon's End Legacy

On this episode Steve, Sarah and Dan discuss games that are meant to be played with kids, but are just as much fun with adults. Have you ever taken one of your child's games and played it without them? Ever watched kids playing a game and thought that it looked like fun? We share our Top 3 kids' games that you can play without them!!

In our Sizzling Games, Sarah has been rallying her gnomes to build a Bonfire, Steve has been having a blast as a budding mage in Aeon's End Legacy, and Dan has been rescuing hostages while moonlighting as a Hostage Negotiator.

We wrap up last week's Bracket Battle match-up (Teotihuacan vs Nemo's War), and we set up the next duel: Res Arcana vs Cartographers.

Finally, in Swear An Oath, Steve continues his adventure down the path of Uwe Rosenberg games by playing Hallertau. Sarah is continuing to play all of her unplayed games in 2020, while still working on her 10x10 Challenge. Meanwhile Dan is still trying to finish his first game of Mage Knight, while exploring the intricacies of Atlantis Rising. New oaths for the team are Remember Our Trip (Steve), Teotihuacan Custom Challenges (Dan), and in a charity gesture: "helping Dan finish Mage Knight" (Sarah).

Episode 110 - Kompromat, Heroes of Land, Air and Sea, Dawn of the Zeds

Tue, 08 Jun 2021 09:55:00 +1000

Episode 110 - Kompromat, Heroes of Land, Air and Sea, Dawn of the Zeds

On this episode Steve and our Sydney Team (Sarah and Mitch) pose the question: If you only could only have 10 games in your collection - how would you structure it, what games would you include, and how do you cull your collection down to just ten?

In our Sizzling Games, Sarah has been a Blackjack-playing spy in Kompromat, Steve has revisited the 4X epicness in Heroes of Land, Air & Sea, and Mitch has been exploring the complexities of the later levels in Dawn of the Zeds.

We wrap up last week's Bracket Battle match-up (Under Falling Skies vs Clans of Caledonia), and we set up the next duel: Teotihuacan vs Nemo's War.

Finally in Swear An Oath, Steve enjoyed the Uwe Rosenberg classic Le Havre. Sarah is continuing to play all of her unplayed games in 2020, still working on her 10x10 Challenge, and also managed to play Stephenson's Rocket. Meanwhile Mitch has every excuse under the sun as to why he still hasn't played Star Wars: Rebellion. New oaths for the team are Bonfire (Sarah), Hallertau (Steve), and to complete all levels of Dawn of the Zeds (Mitch).

Sizzling Games: Kompromat (03:20), Heroes of Land, Air & Sea (09:50), Dawn of the Zeds (27:20)
Topic of the Week: Curating A 10-game Collection (44:00)

Episode 98: The 2020 Board Game BBQ Awards!

Mon, 26 Apr 2021 09:55:00 +1000

Episode 98: The 2020 Board Game BBQ Awards!

Tonight we bring you a special episode: the 2020 Board Game BBQ Awards.

You may remember last month we put the call out to our community to nominate your favorite games of 2020 in nine categories. We were inundated with nominations and we took the most popular nominations in each category and they became the official nominees for the 2020 Awards.

And then we handed those nominations over to our esteemed panel of judges: our Patreon community, to vote on what they believe should be the best games of 2020 and worthy of the coveted Board Game BBQ award.

We recorded the award ceremony live at our recent retreat where the nine of us came together for the first time.

This podcast is an audio version of that awards ceremony but for full effect I’d encourage you to head over to our YouTube channel and watch the full video package that we have put together.

All of this of course wouldn’t be possible without the support of all of you, our fabulous Community, our Patreons and our sponsors: D26 Games in Brisbane and Advent games in Sydney.

Next episode we will be back to our regular shenanigans but for now sit back and enjoy the 2020 Board Game BBQ Awards. And congratulations to all the winners.

Episode 72: A War of Whispers, Dice Forge, Raiders of the North Sea

Thu, 28 Jan 2021 10:55:00 +1100

Episode 72: A War Of Whispers, Dice Forge, Raiders of the North Sea

In this episode we welcome back Conor to the BBQ, joining Steve and Adrian at the BBQ. In our Sizzling Games segment Adrian has been controlling armies from afar in A War Of Whispers, Conor has been praying for a God roll in Dice Forge, and Steve has been teaching his son the art of pillaging in Raiders of the North Sea.

In our topic of the week, the team discuss what it currently takes to get a game to the table, and what influences what games they play, or don't play.

Also, the lads are bringing some games to the slow-cooker and we look forward to hearing more about those in coming weeks.

Finally, in Swear An Oath, Steve's mission to crack 300 on Ganz Shon Clever continues, Adrian is still trying to achieve $1500 in Pipeline, and Conor doubles down on his Smartphone Inc oath by adding Welcome to DinoWorld!
