It's the daylight savings, it's got to be. You give us an extra hour in the week--through the magic of time travel--and we'll take it to play eleventy new games. The geniuses (Canadians, for what it's worth) who invented standard time probably didn't take into account the havoc it might wreak on our podcasting. So many new games! Not enough time for the topic! We will endure.

Essen SPIEL is the latest of the conventions in 2020 to go digital, which is convenient for us, because we weren't about to fly to Germany any time soon. We perused the upcoming games that were showcased as part of the event, and picked our favourites to talk about. It's a top 5! Before we virtually convene, we talk about Babylonia, VeiledFate, and Dune: Imperium.

In this show, we talk about Boomerangs, Furnace, The Haunted Mansion: Call of the Spirits, and Escape the Room: The Cursed Dollhouse. Geoff talks about auctions, and we answer a pile of questions. What do we think of Boardgamearena? What to do if you only play one Pandemic Legacy game? What's a tableau? What to do if a rule isn't clear? And many more! Finally, we end the show talking about our favorite one-hit wonders - designers who have only one hit on their hands.
The unofficial motto of SVWAG has always been, "stop trying to make fetch happen." Similarly, you can't just make up words out of thin air--it's not like they're holidays or anything that can be conjured ex nihilo (Happy Arkhipov Day!). What's an Arnak, anyway? Can you lose ruins of something that never existed? I suppose a fantasy is a good pretext to give us an arm's length distance from generations of pith-decked looters and graverobbers. Relatedly, Walker desperately wants to coin the term "Azteckian," but Mark's not having it.

Strap yourselves in! On this episode Sarah, Mike and Dan are joined by the fabulous Starla and Mik from Our Family Play Games.

And the fun doesn't stop there! Starla and Mik stick around and share their Sizzling Game with us: Parks. It's a beautiful game from Henry Audubon and Keymaster Games. Meanwhile Dan has building towers and casting spells in The Towers of Arkhanos, Mike has been herding cats on Isle of Cats, and Sarah has her head in the clouds with Forbidden Sky.
Round 2 of the Board Game Bracket has come to a close and we announce the winners from the last two match-ups: Too Many Bones vs It's A Wonderful World, and Everdell vs Cosmic Encounter. Did your favourite games make it through Round 3? Make sure you tune into our next episode to hear what match-ups we have coming up in Round 3. And get ready to vote for your favourite.
Finally, in Swear An Oath, Dan still has to play Nemo's War and Sarah still needs to play TIME Stories: Lumen Fidei, but both commit to also bring Lanterns and The Magnificentto the table. Mike successfully completed his oath by playing Lost In Valhalla, and swears a new oath to play Big Easy Busking. And Starla and Mik get in on the oath action by swearing an oath to play Calico.
