The Board Boys Podcast

Before closing out another season of the podcast we were able to sneak in a 2nd Beau-nuss episode back by popular demand!  We talk all about Disney Sorcerer's Arena: Epic Alliances game from The OP.  We dig into the Core Set and the two expansions for the game.  We also get to sit down with Sean Fletcher the designer of the game for an interview about the game and the design.  He also announces The OP's Road to Gencon a competition level event for the game that will lead to a big culmination tournament at GenCon!

On this installment of The Board Boys, we visit Europe and use some "Unique Abilities" in the game Tiletum from Board & Dice from Simone Luciani and Daniele Tascini.  Cam also takes a different sort of trip to Peru again.  We also compare rappers to game designers and revisit 2022 with our year in review segment and go over some BGStats as well.  Beau stops by for a quick Plug or Beef Hotseat. We also revisit the Zoo with Ark Nova and talk about some other games Sniper Elite, The Bloody Inn, Verdant, Karuba, and San Fran Ticket to Ride!  We also Bump or Dump Windward!  As always we hope you like boardgames!

This time on The Board Boys we take a look at governing some Italian cities in Virtu from Super Meeple and designer Pascal Ribrault.  Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all the listeners out there and our gift to you is a mega episode that went a little long!  We do a Board Boys Secret Santa among the Boys and take a look at what we got!  We slip back into some Halloween horror mode and talk about Final Girl and horror movies in general.   We also talk about Akropolis, Ticket to Ride Europe, a deep dive of the So Clever 4-pack of games, Verdant, Chronicles of Avel, Jurassic World: The Legacy of Isla Nublar, Splendor Duel, and Caesar's Empire.  We hope you like Boardgames!
