In this episode Steve, Dan and Conor are joined by the hottest designer in board gaming at the moment, Travis Jones. Travis, the designer of the recently released Pendulum, shares with us his journey from mild-mannered office worker to playtesting and releasing one of the most talked-about games this year. It's a fantastic interview and we were very grateful for his time. And he hangs around for the rest of the show!! In our Sizzling Games this week Conor holds back the invaders on Spirit Island, Travis has been taking his friends into space in The Crew, and Dan plays cops and robbers in Stop Thief! In our Board Game Bracket segment we resolve the Too Many Bones vs El Grande match-up, and then set-up the final bracket for Round 1: Chronicles of Crime vs Everdell. These are two massive games which are favourites amongst board gamers; Dan defends Chronicles of Crime while Conor vouches for Everdell; so make sure you get your vote in and make sure your favourite. Finally, in Swear An Oath, Steve and Steve both managed to turn around their oaths in 48 hours, knocking over Tin Epic Kingdoms and Era: Medieval Age. Dan had a blast playing the cooperative Atlantis Rising. The team then swear oaths to play A Feast for Odin (Steve - pressured by Travis), Imperial Settlers: Empires of the North (Conor), and Trickerion: Legend of Illusion (Dan - egged on by Nereda and Wesley from our FB Community). And Travis even gets in on the action by swearing an oath to play Tribune: Primus Inter Pares.
