Ambie and Crystal discuss a couple games they played recently, including What On Earth Are You Talking About? and Arcs. Then, we talk about what we love about creating content about board games (and other things)! Check out our new TeePublic store!
Bob's back from his trip to 2014, and oh the wonders he's seen - games that not only were amazing back then, but somehow we're still talking about today! The counterpoint to our draft of games to last a decade, we're arguing about the games from ten years ago that are still relevant - BGBBOB style. Before we yearn for our youth, we talk about Cyberion, The Plum Island Horror, and Marabunta.

It's time for some more footage from the archives again from Episodes 43 - 48 and some of our expansion packs such as GRIDCON 2023, Christmas and our birthday episode. In this batch we have an uncontrollable Dan, Kerley, Adrian and Davey trying to get through an episode, some strange twists and turns and Tambo trying to say Hoplomochapus. As always you've been warned.
Tom and Eric congratulate Julie on her successful move, which leads to a discussion on keeping your collection to a reasonable size (so you don't have to move as much). We run through the nominees for the Spiel des Jahres (Germany's Game of the Year awards), answer some questions from the mailbag, and share our recent Roses, Thorns, and Hula Hoops.

While we pride ourselves on our internationalist focus here at SVWAG, we have been remiss in our multilingualism lately. While we reliably rendezvous with French on a semi-regular basis, a skosh of Japanese here and there, a quantum of Latin periodically, and whatever language AYURIS pretends to be, our Spanish could use some work. We thus devote ourselves to utter three whole words of Spanish in this episode.

Racing board games ignite the thrill of the track, where strategy meets speed. And being from NASCAR country, we enjoy our racing games. In this episode we explore three different styles of racing games: Charioteer, Rallyman Dirt, and Heat-Heavy Rain
Charioteer:
Race into the winner’s circle with this set collection style racing game.
Play your cards to either sprint ahead, damage your opponents or navigate the turn of the forum.
Strategic card play will definitely factor in on who will win this game.
Rallyman: Dirt:
Rev your engines by rolling dice and completing the track in the best time.
Push your luck as you navigate treacherous turns to outpace your opponents.
Modular tracks, dice-driven movement, and strategic decisions are key aspects of this game.
Heat Heavy Rain:
Are you ready for two new tracks for Heat, then pick up this expansion.
New elements on the track will test your hand management skills as you race into the corners.
Draft, strategize, and sprint to the finish line while dealing with your opponents in this expansion for Heat: Pedal to the Metal
Sandbag is an anti-trick taking card game where you look to manipulate trump but in doing so help out the other players. Agueda is a collection game where you are trying to meet three scoring objectives set forth at the beginning of the game. While playing, the family compared it to Azul, but with a little less stress and hate drafting.
Thanks for listening and those back from Origins, hope you had a wonderful time.

With our UK Games Expo 2024 content still flowing this expansion pack now focuses on our live show which we recorded on the Friday 31st May in Piazza 4 as well as a handful of interview captured during the show with many of our friends and exhibitors.

Board games—those magical realms where cardboard, dice, and imagination collide. Whether you’re plotting world domination or unraveling mysteries, these tabletop adventures unite friends, families, and foes. And in this release, we hear Marty’s family tell you why that is true with their reviews of Donut Shop and Granblue Fantasy Skirmish Game.
But we also hear about a card game that fits right at home with RDTN called Squirrels: The Card Game. This Uno style game with a solid competitive flare will get the whole family involved as you see who can get rid of their nuts first.
Finally, Marty tells me about what a miss and sounds like I missed a great game night with Skyrise. Roxley has had some solid games lately and this just adds to the collection. Hope I will get to see it on the table soon.
