Ep 042 | Board Game Accessories
Dice, Dice Trays, Game Inserts, 3d Printed Pieces and Modules. These are just some of the accessories you can buy/make to upgrade and enhance your board gaming experience and we are here to talk about what we own and why you may want them.
As always we also have a chat about the games that we have been playing this week including the new recent Kickstarter arrival of Fit to Print, the 2023 Kennerspiel des Jahres Winner of Challengers!, creating the bravest dwarven army in Nidavellir and finally, we push our luck with many a spotty dog in the cute and cuddly Spots.
So join us as we ponder the question of life the universe and everything and ask perhaps, is the question of how many board games is in the perfect collection the question to the answer? Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction

#57: Where There's a Will, There's a Gateway
Gateway games are an often requested topic, but we wouldn't be us without a big old debate about them first. Are they important? Should you be trying to convert your friends at all? Isn't every game a gateway game if you just talk slowly enough? Before we raise the portcullis, we also talk about Targi, and Catan.

Ep 044 | Shark Tank - We Pitch a Game! ft. Rob Vella
Have you ever had an idea for a board game? Well, we have 3 of them ready to be critiqued by our lovely guest Mr. Rob Vella. He is a friend of the podcast and local board gamer but he is also a campaign designer for the Bolt Action tabletop game as well as an upcoming board game designer. This week's special segment is the board game Shark Tank where Damien, Neeber and Ralph are going to have to pitch an idea for a board game that we would like to see made in the world.
We also have a chat about some of the games that we have been playing over the week including the amazing Lost Cities and the interesting Space Station Phoenix. Both games have peaked our interest and we can't wait to share these with you.
