Sid is moving house, Steve got a puppy, Rory can't make it, and no ones heard from Jon, so it looks like its the Andy show this week, with the occasional word from Sid and Steve. We briefly cover the latest news, before revisiting Unfathomable, Nemesis and Lords of Hellas.

Polyhedron Collider Episode 105 - Unfathomable, London, and Dark Moon
Suspect everyone – I personally think that Andy Lewis chap is a bit dodgy – because we sample brand new Cthulhu hidden traitor game Unfathomable and try and compare it to Dark Moon, and Battlestar Galactica. We then build on the backs of the poor by playing London and look at Asmodee price rises and the announcement of Dungeons and Dragons 6th edition.

Episode 100 - The 10 Best Tabletop Games Ever
Five years ago, three geeks walked into a pub, and several fine ales later decided it would be a great idea to start a table top gaming podcast. We've now recorded many episodes of board game and RPG reviews, discussion and ramshackle nonsense.
To celebrate our 100th episode we choose our top ten best board and roleplaying games to review and discuss, and get well wishing messages (kind of) from folks like the Broken Meeple, The Secret Cabal and Who Dares Rolls.

Polyhedron Collider Episode 97 - Airbrushes, Books, more 5E and mail bag questions
Its been an odd few weeks. Lockdown may be drawing to an end but we still can't meet up to play games so our exploration of all things tabletop gaming is even more reflective and full of random nonsense than usual. We talk about using an airbrush to paint your miniatures, look at books based on our favourite board games, talk about Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) again and answer questions from the mail bag.
