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!   Sizzling Games: The Gang [50:27] Altered [01:01:49]   Question of the Pod Recap: [1:14:42] New Question of the Pod: [1:20:57] Fired Up: [01:29:13]   New Question of the Pod: What board game would work well as a drinking game?

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.   What we've been playing: [36:17]   Sizzling Games: Bebop [50:19]   Question of the Pod Recap: [59:25] New Question of the Pod: [1:03:46] Fired Up: [01:12:22]   New Question of the Pod: What game have you played that “shouldn't work”, but does?   Check out Matthew's You Tube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@MatthewDunstan/featured   Check out our Eventbrite page for all of our upcoming Game Days: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/o/board-game-bbq-32833304483   Has this episode left you with a thirst for more?

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.

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.  New Question of the Pod: What games are on your Christmas wish list?
