Episode 298 – Rebirth, Pendragon, Mythic Mischief

18. Juni 2024 um 02:30

Conor, Def, and Joe jostle jovially about their latest gaming escapades.

First up, Joe regales us with his rendezvous in the realm of Rebirth, Reiner Knizia’s latest offering which is still taking late pledges on Kickstarter. Def delves into the daring deeds of Pendragon, brace yourselves for battles, betrayals, and bountiful banter as he recounts his quest for the coveted crown, and Conor casts his comedic contortions on Mythic Mischief, a game that is very chess like, or is it cheff like? So, settle in, my merry gamers, and let the playful puns flow freely! It's sure to be another rollicking romp through the realm of tabletop tomfoolery.


All that, plus the Question of the Pod, Swear An Oath, and the usual shenanigans you've come to expect from the Board Game BBQ.

 

We also recap last week's Question of the Pod: What’s your favourite convention game?

Thanks to everyone who contributed and shared their experiences with us on Discord and the Facebook Community.

 

And as always, we Swear an Oath.

 

Question of the Pod: What’s your preferred way of learning a board game?

Rebirth 36:42
