  • The crew get Spooooky
    Oct 22 2024

    Our 13th episode is spectacularly spooky! And not because we have four people squeezed into one podcast.


    This week the guys review extra ghoulish games. Scarier than losing a Kickstarter exclusive token, or dropping a deck of cards that wasn't meant to be shuffled.


    🏠 Ben proves you can't trust anyone - especially not your friends who are possessed by evil demons in Betrayal at House on the Hill by @avalon hill games


    💀Bronson gives us maggots a VHS nightmare in the terrifying 90s phenomenon Nightmare / Atmosfear by J W Spear & Sons.


    🏃‍♀️ Daniel acts out your favourite horror movies, and your favourite horror movie tropes, in Final Girl by Van Ryder Games


    👻 And Hocky sends investigators into haunted mansions because it's totally fine and nothing ever goes wrong. Yes, he's playing Mansions of Madness by Fantasy Flight Games.

    Oct 8 2024

    This week the guys are going ham for hamlets, poking penguins and sinking ships - so just a regular Wednesday then.

    To build or not to build! Tony talks about growing a humble village into a bustling town in Hamlet: The Village Building by Mighty Boards

    Ben proves even children can beat us at board games in the hilarious and wacky dexterity game ICECOOL by Brain Games Publishing

    And Tony navigates the skies with motley crews to find treasure in the celestial game Celestia by BLAM Edition ... Or do they?

    And keep an ear out because there may or not be a hidden 4th review
