Polyhedron Collider Episode - 154 Spiel Essen Preview, Set A Watch, An Age Contrived, and Nucleum


Join Steve, Andy, Sid and Rory for a jam packed episode of board game reviews, a special Essen Spiel preview and more Ramshackle Nonsense than you’ve come to love and expect.   

“I’m the Branston’s pickle in this ginger bread sandwich” - I mean, where else are you going to find tabletop commentary like that, eh?

The boys make camp on their way to face off against the big bad in a review of Set A Watch: Forsaken Isles.  Build some fancy magnetic monuments in an Age Contrived before jumping on a train  full of radioactive material in Nucleum before spending a good chunk of this episode gushing about all of the lovely games available to (finally) buy and demo and this year’s Essen Spiele.

Polyhedron Collider Episode 153 - Arcs, Draft & Write Records, and Dorfromantik: The Duel

Polyhedron Collider Episode 153 - Arcs, Draft & Write Records, and Dorfromantik: The Duel

In this episode of the Polyhedron Collider Podcast, Steve, Andy, and Rory break the mould and discuss a game on the bleeding edge of the tabletop gaming zeitgeist: Arcs, from Leder Games.  Andy shares his highlights from Airecon North West boardgame convention, and Steve and Rory go on tour with the band in Draft & Write Records (from Inside Up Games) before building rival romanticised county villages in Dorfromantik: The Duel, from Pegasus Spiele.

They round off the episode with some questions from the mailbag, including: what game mechanic are you rubbish at but utterly love?
