Check it out in our stream or on Youtube.

Episode 353 is a publisher feature episode as Mark and Garth delve deeply and thirstily into two games that have been generously provided by @Stonemaiergames .
We start with the latest iteration of wine-making for fun and profit, with Mark talking us through Viticulture World.
In this solo and/or co-op journey around the continents, you and your fellow winemakers are battling against the game in search of vines, grapes, wine and ultimately victory points (with a healthy dollop of influence points too)!! So, if you’re on the hunt to find out what makes this game different, and why you may like it - this is the episode for you. Oh, and hats…
We move onto a chat about Tapestry, and specifically the Plans and Ploys expansion!
In this 2 hour civilisation building game the expansion adds more cards, more tiles, more buildings, and MORE!!
We all know that Leon only wants more and more from an expansion so this one ticks those boxes! Is it worth buying if you have already got the base game? Does it really change the experience? Will you be able to lead the new civilisations to victory?? Well, Garth couldn’t, but he did try his best.
And finally, it’s the final reminder to get in your final entries for your final chance to get your hands on the final 2 tickets for BorderCon!
You only have to listen in to find out how, and even if you have tickets, think of your gaming friends who don’t and get them to listen and enter!
So that’s your lot for this episode, and thanks as always to our main sponsor LFG Australia. Be sure to visit their website for your next gaming purchase!

Have you ever wanted to just throw it all in and join a band of mercenaries on the hunt for the next big payday? Well, this episode may lead you down a path you won’t finish for days, weeks, months…or even years. We dedicate this whole episode to one publisher… @cephalofair and specifically to one designer… #isaacchildres

Garth and Mark start by running through #Gloomhaven #jawsofthelion which has been hitting our table recently, before we push ‘play’ on a recent interview that Mark had with Mr Childres himself. The interview covers a broad range of Gloomyhaveny things including the newly released #Frosthaven and the upcoming #gloomhavenrpg – so keep your ears peeled for all the tastiest of Gloomiest Haveniest tidbits!

New Podcast is OUT- Episode 349
Yes, the Dice Men Cometh aims to be educational and this episode is no different, so settle as as we teach you about the birds and…the beeeagles…well dogs at least as we’re heading to the skies with Wingspan Asia before digging into all things Dog Park.
We start with the latest birdy instalment in the Wingspan saga, but this time it’s an expansion and a stand alone two player game. Yes, it’s got great art, yes it’s got another colour of eggs and yes, if you’re a twitcher looking for something to play with your significant other, it may just be the ticket. In any case, the boys all have their opinions locked and loaded.
We then feature a little segment on the newest Aussie designed game hitting the crowd-funding market. It’s called SCRAP and we were lucky enough to get an early prototype to review. If you think this game sounds interesting, make sure to check it out on Gamefound and support the Aussie Tabletop industry!
We then fail to let sleeping dogs lie, as it’s all about taking them for walkies in Dog Park by Birdwood Games! Will you become a breed expert? Will you take all your doggos for their walk? Will all your sticks and balls be put to good use? Will Leon complain there are not cats in this game?!?!?!?!
So thanks for listening and thanks for your ongoing support! Of course we can’t do this without our wonderful sponsor LFG, as well as our gaming partners!

Episode 348 is live!!

It’s time to talk monsters! Have you ever wanted to be a big ol’ monster who gets to smash things, squish minions and destroy crystals? How about punching or stomping another big bad monster? Well if that sounds up your alley, then this episode may be for you!
Yes, we’re talking the newest and biggest King of Monster Island box there is…complete with your own personal volcano!
Is it any good? Does it compare to King of Tokyo? Do you need both? Leon is madly in love with King of Tokyo, so has he found a new love?
We then travel back in time to the ancient Mediterranean to build our own spectacular Grecian city in Akropolis the new abstracty, tile-layey game from Gigamic.
Whose city will be full of houses? Who will have enough markets or temples to satisfy their population? Whose city will grow high enough to kiss the stars? We all know there is only one way to find out the answers to all the questions of the universe…listen in.
So thank you to our sponsor LFG, and in particular to VR Distribution for sending us King of Monster Island and Akropolis!
