The three of us are joined this week by moguls of miniatures for an extended extravaganza! We discuss various aspects of this side of the hobby and the time of judgement fell upon us for our painting challenge, albeit in a slightly more unorthodox manner. Perhaps this episode will inspire you to pick up a brush and get painting - let us know if it does! Also in this episode, it's back and better than ever: It's Toby's reviews! This time it's a special one to the three of us - it's Scythe.

In this episode, we were just shooting the breeze and hit upon a topic that we thought to be quite interesting. Board games that have, should or could be a good source of inspiration for other media types. There are probably many more than we covered in our discussion so get in touch with your suggestions! Also in this session, yet another challenge is set for us and this time, there's no waiting around, you'll get the outcome next time! There's also talk about what the future might hold for the games we created and then played through in the previous episode.

This week, Christmas comes slightly earlier for our podcast devotees with everything you need for a traditional Christmas party...well, except for the copious amounts of food and drink, that probably wouldn't have been wise. There's even a bit especially for the Die Hard Christmas fans too! Also in this episode, before we kick off the Christmas chat there's the usual events summary and also an upgrade on our progress with the game-making challenge and later on in the episode Toby reviews Telestrations - a great game to bring out at Christmas which you can even borrow from our lending library.
Yuletide felicitations, merry Christmas and have a good 'un from the three of us. We'll be back in your earholes next year!

No tricks (maybe) just treats for you lucky listeners as we embarked on our halloween spooktacular! We listed our favourite halloween games with a list that goes right from the comically spoopy (yes, spoopy is a word and prepare to hear it some more) to the terrifyingly fun. But here's the real treat. The three of us got together along with Emma and made a LIVE recording of us playing Betrayal at House on the Hill.
