This week, Joe, Jules and Lauren tuck into a mixed bag of gaming experiences. Jules has been dipping his fins into the Wingspan universe and getting back into Magic: The Gathering whilst being very excited about some upcoming IPs that are coming for his wallet. Joe has finally rejoined his weekly game group and had an absolutely kraken time bidding for the favour of gods in Cyclades. Lauren has been exploring a game that has her playing by the book in Artisans of Splendent Vale.

In this episode, Banana, Adrian and Conor are in the mood to reminisce about a HUGE gaming weekend for Adrian's 40th birthday. Adrian has fallen for The Gang, and by that he means not just the people at his birthday bash, but the game as well. Meanwhile Conor has been battling head-to-head and having fun with one of his favourite TCG's without breaking the bank, in Altered. Banana surprisingly enjoyed a game that prides itself on getting pleasure from other people's misery in Shadenfreude, and also got to have an unexpected try of a Kickstarter prototype!

It wouldn't be Oceania month without Matthew Dunstan, who is closing in on the title for the most guest appearances on the podcast! In this episode, Jules and Joe chat about Matthew's new YouTube channel, co-designing, and how he enjoys giving back to the board game design community. We also hear about some upcoming games, the business of being a full-time board game designer, and which designer he'd like to co-design a game with! Plenty of games have been hitting the table too. Jules is surprisingly taken with planning a Jazz Festival in Bebop, meanwhile, Joe and his friend Megs are newly married and not liking Conor's taste in furnishings in Decorum.

In this episode, Adrian, Joe and Banana are in the hot seat. Adrian, in his first episode back after the break, has lots to talk about. From his continued love of Age of Steam with his son and Mum, to channeling his inner Marlon Brando, and making offers they can't refuse in La Famiglia. Joe is finally back online and setting up his “Board Game Bungalow”, while dabbling in a bit of feline rescue in Isle of Cats The Duel, all the while making sure that those cats stay well away from Adrian! Meanwhile, Dana Banana is excited to chat about her being a “Fan of the Span”, with her take on Finspan. They also recap last week's Question of the Pod, all before sharing some news as to what's got them fired up!

This week Jules, Joe and Lauren wax lyrical about the games hitting their table recently, with some very sizzling and some lukewarm receptions. Jules has been practicing his dexterity skills in Nekojima - a game about installing electricity poles without crossing or touching their cables. Joe pieces together all the information to share his perspective on Perspectives - a game about solving mysteries while sharing limited information with friends. To round us off, Lauren and Jules discuss their mixed feelings with the very beautiful looking Rats of Wistar. They also share the community responses from last week's Question of the Pod, anticipate what games they could play in this week's question, and get fired up for the coming week!

In this week's podcast, Conor, Adrian and Joe serve up a slew of games. Adrian goes off the rails with an amuse-bouche sizzle of Age of Steam, before diving into a game of drafting and collecting sets in Sea, Salt & Paper. Joe has been playing his cards just right to build up his resources in 51st State – a game with a theme that definitely has nothing to do with current world events and everything is absolutely fine. Conor rounds it off with a war – in SPACE. He talks through the Undaunted series of games including its most recent standalone Undaunted 2200: Callisto. You'd think those corporations would be happier given they're fighting over the moon. We then turn to our recap of last week's question of the pod, and what is getting us fired up lately.
