Episode 18: Everdell, The Crew, In The Hall Of The Mountain King - a podcast by Board Game BBQ
from 2020-07-27T05:00
Jules steps into the hosting role and after a minute we are already asking "Steve who?" He is joined by Sarah and Mike for another cracking episode in the world of boardgaming. In the Sizzling Games segment Mike fell in love with the amazing artwork and clever gameplay of Everdell, Sarah and her crew played the trick-taking co-op The Crew, and Jules became a ruthless troll In The Hall Of The Mountain King.
What is it about space that captures the imagination? The team discusses their favourite space-themed games this week and why the theme works so well in boardgaming. It seems that there are so many game styles, mechanics and even different franchises that can work in space. And of course, when evil-Jules beats you, no one can hear you scream...
We reveal the winner of the Aeon's End Legacy vs Azul, before Jules and Mike face off in the latest Board Game Bracket: Cosmic Encounter vs Gizmos. Cosmic Encounter might be incredibly clever, but apparently Gizmos has balls. Make sure you visit our social pages and vote for your favourite game to make sure it comes out on top!
In the Kickstarter segment Sarah is looking forward to receiving Rome & Roll next month. Perseverance has caught Jules' eye, but his heart is set on Windward which is expected to arrive next month as well. And Mike received his first-ever Kickstarter game; the wacky cure-all card game Trust Me I'm A Doctor.
Finally, in Swear An Oath Sarah fulfilled her oath by bringing Obscurio off the shelf, but found it really needed a traitor to make it more fun. Mike couldn't manage to get King Of Tokyo to the table due to the COVID lockdown so he played it online instead and came out victorious! And Jules just can't get enough of the Quacks of Quedlinburg successor: The Taverns of Tiefenthal. The gang then all swear new oaths: Race For The Galaxy: Alien Artifacts (Sarah), Tiny Epic Galaxies (Mike), and Lords of Scotland (Jules)
