Episode 11: Tash Kalar, Smash Up, Super Fantasy Brawl, Teotihuacan: City of Gods
The old adage goes: we always hurt the ones we love.
Sadly, our games are no exception. This week the team share with us the games that they truly love - but might not get to the table as much as they deserve. There are many reasons why gamers might not be able to get their favourite games to the table and so we explore some of those in this episode.
In our Sizzling Games segment we have a special treat for fans of the show - a review from our newest team member, Sarah from Tabletop Sauce. Sarah will join us in person on the next show, but in the meantime, we will have to make do with her review of Tash Kalar. Mike thoroughly enjoyed the "shufflebuilding" game Smash Up, Steve plays Super Fantasy Brawl during the recent Virtual Gaming Con, and Def raises a great question: how do you really pronounce Teotihuacan?
Speaking of differing opinions, we recap the closest Board Game Bracket match-up so far in Mansions of Madness versus Five Tribes, and also Oceans vs Root. Then Def soundly spanks Mike in their Dinosaur Island versus Pandemic Legacy debate. So don't let Mike's pleas for mercy be for nothing - make sure you vote for your favourite on our socials.
In Swear An Oath, Steve crossed Cartographers off his list with the help of the Board Game BBQ crew, while Tiny Towns gets a 24hr reprieve. Mike was pleasantly surprised by the strategic and slippery Counterfeiters, and Def met his oath by playing Brass: Birmingham several times just to be sure. Then new oaths were sworn for K2, Tzolk'in, and Through the Ages.
If you are making your own oaths to play games from your "Shelf of Shame", make sure you share your success with the hashtag #oathfulfilled on Instagram!
