Episode 173: Special Guest - Tom Vasel! Plus Horrified, Black Sonata, Ark Nova, and Bristol 1350 Nova On this special episode Steve, Mike and Dan are joined by the man in the hat, Tom Vasel. He shares some stories from his early days of reviewing games, his experiences from the other side of the industry, and he answers an assortment of questions from our Patreons. In our Sizzling Games segment Steve revisits the horrors of Horrified, Dan has been on the search for the Dark Lady in Black Sonata, Tom is still raving about the incredible Ark Nova, and Mike has been dodging the plague in Bristol 1350. We launch the next match-up in the Bracket Battle 2.0: Teotihuacan vs Everdell. It's Steve vs Mike and they plead their case as to why their game is better (and Tom and Dan pile on as well!). To make sure your favourite goes through to the next round make sure you vote on our socials. Finally in Swear an Oath, Steve is continuing to play every game in his collection, Mike has been playing Mystic Vale and is already intent on getting the expansion, and Dan played MicroMacro with his family of budding detectives. New oaths include a game of Teotihuacan with 5 expansions (Steve), The Prodigals (Mike), Radlands (Dan), and even Tom gets in on the Oath-swearing action.

Episode 49 - Special Guest: Stephen Buonocore, Pandemic Legacy Season 1, The Quacks of Quedlinburg, Imperial Settlers: Rise of the Empire, Architects of the West Kingdom   In what could possibly be Conor's last episode when Sarah hears it, the team is joined by the recently-retired president of Stronghold Games Stephen Buonocore. It's undeniably one of our best episodes as he shares with us what he's been up to in retirement, the process of publishing games, what he's been playing lately, and his involvement in the Jack Vasel Memorial Fund.   In our Sizzling Games segment, Mike is the next team member to wade into Pandemic Legacy Season 1 and is loving the journey so far. Stephen has been stirring the pot in The Quacks of Quedlinburg, Conor has been building his empire in Imperial Settlers: Rise of the Empire, and Steve is continually impressed by Architects of the West Kingdom.   In the Board Game Bracket we announce the winner from the recent Gaia Project vs Too Many Bones battle. And then, in a Board Game Bracket first, Conor defends Root against the publisher of Terraforming Mars. The gloves come off on this battle, as they both go for a TKO.   Finally in Swear an Oath, Steve got Isle of Cats to the table with his sons, and swears to play Barrage. After playing Rise of Empires, Conor swears to play Paladins of the West Kingdom. Mike failed to fulfill his Big Easy Busking oath, so he dutifully doubles-down with Imaginarium, and stuns everyone with a hidden talent. But, to show us all up, Stephen swears an oath to play the mammoth game - Twilight Imperium 4th Edition.   Thanks again to Stephen Buonocore for joining us on this episode. Follow along with Stephen's adventures on his social channels:   Twitter Facebook YouTube Website   Hear him on his Board Game Insider Podcast, and every Thursday on the BoardGame Breakfast with Tom Vasel and Zee Garcia.
