    Hearken, ye Cabalists! Gather round, for this day the Lords convene in discourse. They speak first of Jamie and AC's newest chronicle of dread and mystery, wrought in the Call of Cthulhu. Thereafter, a query from a faithful listener shall be pondered, touching upon the use of relics and tokens within the gaming hall. Lastly, the Roundtable shall be set, where wisdom is shared on the keeping of momentum and the weariness that oft befalls the Game Master. Raise thy voices in mirth! Huzzah!

    Josh Roberts is the Co-Founder of Very Special Games, a two-person creative studio he launched with Evan in Memphis, TN in 2019. The duo started out scribbling their first prototype on sticky notes during lunch breaks at their old consulting jobs, which eventually grew into their first hit game, Charty Party, on Kickstarter. Since then, Josh has been helping create quirky, laughter-filled party games that bring people together—even if it means losing a little more hair along the way.You can check out their latest campaign for skyscratchers here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/punsofanarchy/skyscratchers-a-sneakily-strategic-game-of-escaped-catsFOLLOW US ON: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/boardgamebingeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/boardgamebingepodcast/ Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/boardgamebingeWHERE TO FIND OUR PODCAST:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5RJbdkguebb3MSLAatZr7riHeart Radio: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-board-game-binge-72500104/Tune In: https://tunein.com/embed/player/p1344218/Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5jYXB0aXZhdGUuZm0vYm9hcmRnYW1lYmluZ2U=Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/board-game-binge/id1522623033Visit Our Websites: Board Game Binge: https://boardgamebinge.com/Tin Robot Games: https://tinrobotgames.comElixir Board Games: https://www.elixirboardgames.com/our-gamesI got to meet the very first Champion of the World Series of Board Games this week on the podcast.

    In Episode 173 of the Polyhedron Collider Cast, we tackle Pax Pamir, The Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship, General Orders: Sengoku Jidai, and Ink, while Sid shares his eldritch adventures at a live Call of Cthulhu show in Edinburgh. Why not buy a board game from our sponsors Kienda: kienda.co.uk/polyhedroncollider In Episode 173 of the Polyhedron Collider Cast, we're knee-deep in intrigue, fellowship, feudal battles, and… calligraphy? That's right, we've got a varied lineup of games to talk about, and plenty of banter to go with it. As always, expect a healthy mix of strategy talk, tangents, and the usual Collider nonsense. Sid & the Call of Cthulhu Live Sid takes a detour from the tabletop to Edinburgh, where he experienced a live Call of Cthulhu performance. Expect tales of eldritch horror, theatrical madness, and perhaps one or two sanity checks.  Pax Pamir We revisit Cole Wehrle's masterpiece of politics, shifting alliances, and fragile empires in 19th century Afghanistan. Is it still as brilliant—and brutal—as we remember? The Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship Middle-earth gets a fresh spin in this new take on Tolkien's epic. We explore whether it captures the tension, the drama, and the journey of the Fellowship (with fewer second breakfasts). General Orders: Sengoku Jidai Two players, one board, and a battle for feudal Japan. From the minds behind Undaunted, this tight tactical skirmish impressed us with its elegance and depth. Ink A light pattern game that's quick to teach but surprisingly tricky to master. Perfect for when your brain's fried after too much Pax Pamir.

    What Happens When a Doctor Designs a Board Game? with Dr. Lakshman Swamy

    When your job is literally life and death, how do you explain what that feels like to patients, to families, to anyone outside the ICU? This week on Knock Knock Hi, Kristin and I talk with Dr. Lakshman Swamy, a critical care and pulmonary doc who decided the answer might be… a board game. We get into burnout, the broken systems of ICU care, and how a game called helps players understand the impossible choices clinicians face every day. Also: moral injury, insurance nightmares, what it's like to feel powerless as a physician, and why play might be one of the best tools for healing we've got. Takeaways: Hear how Dr. Swamy turned years of ICU trauma into a brutally honest board game. Explore the emotional toll of moral injury—and why it's reshaping the physician burnout conversation. Learn how Cost of Life recreates the pressure, compromise, and heartbreak of critical care. Why healthcare reform might start with storytelling—and maybe even game night. Discover what surprised Dr. Swamy most when he watched players take on the role of ICU doctor. — Want more Dr. Lakshman Swamy?

Greg Pettit has been there from the beginning, and quite a few times. Especially in some earlier years of the podcast, Greg was one who was willing to tackle some deep topics, meta-topics around the hobby. Instead of talking about a specific game, we'd talk about the possible longevity of our hobby, artistic merit of some designs, the different types of thematic resonance in games, or how to be contemplative with our boardgames. He initiated several of those topics. (To be fair, some of my other friends do that, too. That's why they're my friends...they like dissecting our hobby with me.) With more & more years behind us, Greg suggested we revisit some of those subjects, at least at a high level. The hobby has grown & grown. Distribution is much wider and boardgames now come up conversations at work or your neighborhood. Game mechanisms and styles of play have changed. And...we've all gotten older. Greg has questions relating to all of these, and it's fun to talk about. -Mark

    An episode without Frank? But what about all the history? Well, thankfully, history in this case starts in around 1993, with the publication of Magic: The Gathering, because we're reviewing the career of its designer, Richard Garfield. We discuss: Not one, but two of Garfield's notable ancestors. An interview where he talks about how MtG has drifted away from what he wanted it to be, along with some rather salacious stories from the early days of Wizards of the Coast. A Usenet post from WotC founder Peter Adkison, dating to shortly before MtG was released, with a surprisingly candid overview of the company's history to date. Was Magic directly responsible for the '00s anime boom? Mike says yes. Joe is weirdly obsessed with the word "Deckmaster". There are so many Star Wars collectible card games that none of us know which one we're talking about at any given time. Attack Yahtzee! And some ridiculous Keyforge deck names. What have we missed? Who else deserves a deep dive? How are we wrong? Come visit our Discord server to chat with us and other like-minded game nerds! As always, thank you for listening. Please consider writing us an iTunes review if you like what you hear! We'd also love to have you visit our website and let us know what kinds of games we should discuss next.
