Mike jumps behind the wheel on Episode 183 and steers Sarah, Dan and Conor into oncoming traffic. Along the way the team catch-up on what they've been playing, including Creature Comforts, In The Hall Of The Mountain King, Illusion, Letter Jam, and Underwater Cities. In the Board Game Bracket we settle the last match-up, Aeon's End vs Root, before we cue up the next battle: Lord of the Rings: Journeys in Middle Earth. To make sure your favourite goes through to the next round make sure you vote on our socials. Finally, in Swear An Oath, Dan didn't manage to get Tiny Epic Pirates to the table, and Sarah failed on playing Mind MGMT as well. Luckily Conor absolutely loved Dead Reckoning, and Mike played RailRoad Ink.

Vratili smo se sa puta u Nemačku, raspakovali kofere i vratili se za mikrofone. Vreme je da ponovo igramo društvene igre i pričamo o njima! Essen Spiel je došao i prošao, ponovo oborio rekorde posećenosti i količine prodatih fast food grickalica, a mi smo dovukli kofere pune utisaka i igara. Epizodu zato počinjemo kratkom rekapitulacijom sajma, kao i pregledom nekoliko igara koje smo tamo imali ekskluzivnu priliku da vidimo i isprobamo. Kada smo se konačno vratili u Srbiju, bilo je vreme i da otpakujemo neke velike kutije i proverimo da su glasine opravdane. Tu mislimo pre svega na Dune, igru koja se vratila u prodaju posle čak 40 godina. Nova Judge Dredd igra nas je veoma prijatno iznenadila, kao i kolonizovanje ledenih predela u Artemis Project.

Re-tale (7:05): In this segment, I reflect on the way that various smaller publishers may fall short when giving good presentation at the expo. It's a demanding market, and the type of creativity for putting on good face is a special skill; Table Topic (3:18): On the Friday night of the conference, there was an incident regarding content of sexual assault within the context of a roleplaying game, this goes over what happened and the response; Chit Encounters (11:43): Here I discuss several game highlights of the convention, including Villagers, Bosk, and Letter Jam; Clocktower (27:33): I wax loquaciously about some experiences I had with Blood on the Clocktower at the expo; Outro (29:27): sign off, and info on how to support Story Mode.
