Episode 35 - Trails of Tucana, Marvel United, Klask - a podcast by Board Game BBQ
from 2020-09-21T10:00
In this episode, Steve is finally let off the chain. Frankly, you'll be forgiven for skipping this episode as Steve talks about Scythe until Mike and Mitch fall into a coma.
In our massive Sizzling Games segment, Mitch has been rolling and writing through the Trails of Tucana, Mike has been channeling his inner superhero in Marvel United, and Steve has been working up a sweat playing Klask.
If you've ever been overwhelmed by learning new games or reading complicated rule books, then the team discusses the best ways to learn new games without getting freaked out in our Topic Of The Week.
The results are in! We have the first winners for Round 2 as we reveal the results of Through the Ages vs Codenames, and Great Western Trail vs On Mars. And then in what is possibly the most exciting match-up in Round 2 for our podcast team, Mike and Steve go head-to-head in Zombicide vs Scythe. Make sure you head to our socials and vote for your favourite to make sure they go through to Round 3.
In everyone's favourite segment, Swear An Oath, Steve snuck in Harry Potter: Hogwarts Battle - Defence Against The Dark Arts right before the podcast. And in keeping with his own "30 games in 30 days" mission, he swears an oath to play Tekhenu: Obelisk of the Sun. Mitch was underwhelmed by Flamme Rouge and swears to make amends with the trick-taking game Nyet!. And after playing his unpainted Marvel United, Mike swears to punch out his copy of Galaxy Trucker and get it to the table.
Finally, in Kickstarter news, Mitch and Steve are both tempted by Cascadia from Flatout Games. Meanwhile, Mike has gone absolutely bananas backing Embarcadero,
Northgard: Uncharted Lands, Token Sesame, Shitty Werewolf, The Reckoners: Steelslayer, and Monsters On Board.
