In this episode we briefly chat about our My City experience, discuss Fairy Trails, Aqualin, Warp's Edge, Glasgow, and Too Many Bones plus a quick 3-game family game blitz. And we cap the episode off with a Reiner Knizia Game Pie!
Clearly the hosts secretly wanted to have a movie podcast, or perhaps just a podcast devoted to the movie Aliens. To their credit, they at least did not devolve into merely parroting quotes from the film, which is a behaviour as obnoxious and it is difficult to avoid. Rest assured they offered their poor paraphrases and hackneyed delivery while actually playing the Aliens game. It was a bad call, listener, it was... Crap.

Episode 51 - Special Guest: Phil Walker-Harding, Lowlands, Campy Creatures, Spicy, Onitama
It's an All Aussie Adventure this episode as we welcome Phil Walker-Harding to the show. Phil is the award-winning Sydney-based designer of games such as Sushi Go, Imhotep, Barenpark, and the soon-to-be-released Cloud City. Phil shares with us his experiences in the Australian board gaming industry, where the inspiration for some of his games comes from, how he approaches game design, and what games he might have on the horizon.
In our Sizzling Games segment, Jules has been protecting sheep in the Lowlands , Dan has been dealing with Campy Creatures, Phil likes his card games to be Spicy, and Steve has been getting back to basics with Onitama.
In our Boardgame Bracket we settle the fight between Everdell and Codenames, before setting up a new match-up with Champions of Midgard vs Spirit Island. It's a spirited battle but there can only be one champion. Make sure you vote for your favourite on our socials to get it through to the next round!
Finally in Swear and Oath, has Jules bitten off more than he can chew with swearing to play Feudum? Will Dan ever play Teotihuacan, or will Loot of Lima steal the limelight? Can Steve get Mariposas to the table? OR will Phil honor his oath to the podcast Gods and play Trails of Tucana? Stay tuned... same BBQ time, same BBQ podcast.

In episode 44, Jamie starts out by talking a little bit about Baldur's Gate 3 now in early access on Steam and the gang reminisces about some old Dungeons and Dragons video games they've played in the past. Then the Lords take a question from a listener regarding dealing with a player character that is lovingly known as "Cheat Code" because he is so overpowered. Then the group gives into a discussion about playing Rogues in roleplaying games and the various archetypes they enjoy playing.
We have an unwritten constitution here at SVWAG, which we know causes some people from jurisdictions with written constitutions to get a little mystified and/or twitchy. Trust us, it works! We get to claim a rich constitutional history all the way back to 1215 and the Magna Carta, or at least we will, once we figure out what King John had to do with podcasting. It's the kind of arrangement that works until you have a constitutional crisis, which we have about as often as those places with written constitutions; except we tend to settle ours with sidelong glances and lots of utterances along the lines of, "So... how do you, uh... think this works?"
