If this is the expansion to our first expansions episode, does that make it an Expansionception? We find Joe's definition of Hell. Mike and Joe dislike the Venus Next expansion for several reasons, but mostly because they're 12 years old. Frank introduces us to The Death Book, an essential expansion which has no effect on the rules or play of the game.

Årets mässa slog återigen publikrekord och var verkligen en mäktig upplevelse. I det här avsnittet berättar vi om vår upplevelse av mässan och några av de spel vi fick chansen att prova där. Bland dessa spel berättar Anders om Mac Gerdts nya Transatlantic och Uwe Rosenbergs Nusfjord. Niklas pratar Altiplano av Reiner Stockhausen (Orléans) och Rosenbergs tetrisliknande Indian Garden. Jonas snackar Gaia Project som kan ses som en sci-fi uppföljare till Terra Mystica samt Vital Lacerdas Lisboa. Vi tar dessutom en titt på Terraforming Mars expansionen Venus Next. Vi provade på en ny inspelningsmetod där vi körde facebook live under inspelning (videon finns på https://www.facebook.com/bradspelspodden/videos/1740842189279786/ ). Här fick åskådarna komma med frågor under sändning och vi kunde återkoppla med en gång! Det hela var nytt för oss så kom gärna med åsikter om det var något bra eller om det hade negativt inflytande på avsnittet.
After Heather Watson’s riveting, pulsating battle with Serena Williams, David Law (BBC Radio 5 Live) swapped the commentary box for the Tennis Podcast microphone to talk to Catherine Whitaker and the Telegraph’s Charlie Eccleshare about an incredible day at Wimbledon. David lets us know what Watson’s crestfallen coach Diego Veronelli and GB Fed Cup captain Judy Murray said to hin on 5 Live straight afterwards, and Catherine relays everything seven-time Grand Slam champion Mats Wilander, who she watched it with, said to about the match. The Venus vs. Serena Williams clash is previewed, the loss of Grigor Dimitrov and the win for Nick Kyrgios discussed, and the podcast team look ahead to Saturday while asking ‘is the all-white rule too strict?' The Tennis Podcast is produced in association with the Telegraph, and supported by BNP Paribas, the bank for a changing world. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
